All of these different service types are known to include nature-based activities for young children. The formally registered early childhood services are subject to national guidelines (CAO et al. 2017, MEXT 2017, MHLW 2017) that require nature-based activities to promote children’s development. However, these guidelines fall short on matters of global sustainability, environmental issues, environmental education (EE), or education for sustainability (EfS), thus we argue a comprehensive approach is lacking and a gap in practices evident. We suggest that the two alternative service types, forest kindergartens and Skogsmulle programs, offer more potential to promote EE/EfS than the formally registered early childhood services. We also briefly review Australian early childhood policies and settings and identify a similar situation, where nature-based activities appear to deflect from a comprehensive approach to EE/EfS. We argue that a critical analysis of policies and improvement of pre-service and in-service teacher programs to build sustainability knowledge and pedagogical skills is required. Also the establishment of collective professional networks across the varied nature-based activity programs and service types is necessary across each nation to transform existing nature-based activities into effective EE/EfS approaches and practices for global sustainability. We also identify this review paper as a precursor to further research in this topical area.","PeriodicalId":308853,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130874440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The session was held with 134 elementary school students in the fourth grade. The contents of the educational program were: (1) a lecture on issues regarding energy and the environment, (2) designing and making new types of wind turbines constructed out of thick paper, (3) conducting experiments to evaluate their power generation capability (i.e., the activity was first carried out individually, and then in groups of three or four), (4) analyzing experimental data and presenting the results to the participants in groups, and (5) a lecture on the characteristics of wind turbines, disadvantages of renewable energy, and the energy mix of power sources. According to the questionnaire-based survey, more than 90% of the participants enjoyed designing and making the wind turbines, conducting experiments, analyzing the experimental data, and were motivated to continue to create more efficient wind turbines. However, the percentage of participants who were satisfied with the experimental results and their own presentations was less than 80%, and 60% felt that there is a possibility that the issue pertaining to energy and the environment can be solved. According to the results of the structural equation modeling, participants who were satisfied with the experimental results of the power generated by the wind turbines that they had created were inspired by the successful results of other groups. Additionally, these participants felt that the issues pertaining to energy and the environment can be solved. We conclude that to foster hope for the future in children through inquiry-based learning, it is necessary to give them sufficient time or set a target to achieve success so that they can satisfy themselves.","PeriodicalId":308853,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123023203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has repeatedly indicated that CWN was an important predictor of proenvironmental behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to understand the difference of Taiwanese and Japanese undergraduates’ CWN and most importantly to compare the predictive power of CWN and the new ecological paradigm (NEP) in terms of explaining the intention of environmental behaviors (IEB) in both countries. This survey adopted one Taiwanese CWN scale to avoid possible measurement bias caused by eastern-western cultural contexts. A total of 302 undergraduates participated in this survey: 178 students were from 3 Taiwanese universities, and 124 were from 2 Japanese universities. The independent sample t-test showed that Taiwanese undergraduates significantly performed more actively in CWN, NEP, and IEB than Japanese undergraduates. The overall findings of multiple regression analysis indicated that CWN was a more powerful predictor than the NEP to predict the IEBs in both countries, and the regression coefficient of CWN in Taiwan was higher than in Japan. Although the NEP can significantly predict some IEB constructs in Taiwan, it was not a significant predictor in Japan. Based on those findings, this research also proposed possible directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":308853,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114751518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
