“…Moreover, with the increase in education, the regional population has a stronger desire for eco-environmental protection and a greater sense of awareness and responsibility [119], resulting in greater willingness to introduce more advanced and environmentally friendly technologies to boost the resource use efficiency and environmental management capabilities and to enhance the regional ESV. This conclusion supports the findings of Kollmuss et al [120] and Singh et al [121], suggesting that a higher level of education usually corresponds to greater environmental concern and that the improvement of the education level may contribute to sustainable regional development.…”

Ecosystem services are the beneficial goods and services that ecosystems provide to humans. Urbanization is an important feature of human social development. While promoting economic and social development, it also brings about land degradation, resource depletion, environmental pollution and other problems, intensifying the transformation of natural ecosystems into semi-natural and artificial ecosystems, ultimately leading to the loss of ecosystem service functions and declining value. The study of the impact of urbanization on the value of ecosystem services is of critical importance for the conservation of ecosystems and sustainable development. This study examined the spatio-temporal patterns of urbanization’s impacts on ecosystem service value in the Yellow River Basin from the perspective of spatio-temporal heterogeneity. Findings: (1) Both the ecosystem service value (ESV) and urbanization level (UL) in the Yellow River Basin were on the rise on the whole, but they were significantly spatially negatively correlated and mainly characterized by the high–low spatial clustering of “low ESV–high UL” and “high ESV–low UL”. This negative correlation was gradually weakened with the transformation of the urbanization development mode and ecological restoration projects in the Yellow River Basin. (2) The impacts of the five urbanization subsystems on the value of ecosystem services were diverse. Landscape urbanization had a negative impact on the value of ecosystem services in all regions; economic urbanization and innovation urbanization changed from having a negative to a positive impact; and demographic urbanization and social urbanization had both a positive and a negative impact. (3) To promote the coordinated development of ecological environmental protection and urbanization in the YRB, this paper proposes to change the urbanization development model, implement ecological restoration by zoning, and formulate classified development plans. This study compensates for the shortcomings of current studies that ignore the different impacts of urbanization subsystems on ecosystem service value and lack sufficient consideration of the spatio-temporal heterogeneity characteristics of urbanization and ESVs, enriches the theoretical understanding of the interrelationships between natural and human systems in basin areas, and provides a scientific basis for the rational formulation of urban planning and ecological protection policies in the region, which is of great theoretical and practical significance.

“…Thus, the ecological culture of the future teacher is an organic unity of ecologically developed consciousness, emotional and mental states, and practical activities (Hashimoto-Martell et al, 2012). The modern concept of higher education is based on the recognition of the important part of students' independent work (Singh, 2013). In this regard, the significance of student research is increasing (Johnson, 2000).…”

The relevance of the study is determined by the question as to in which version the environmental consciousness of a person should be considered. The novelty of the study is determined by the possibility of not only forming ecological awareness but also imparting environmental education in their professional and everyday living environments. The authors consider the aspect of structuring the teaching of ecological knowledge of students as the most active layer of the population. It is shown that the possibility of forming environmental awareness depends on the critical role of the media and public policy. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of development and structural determination of the direction of the formation of the influence of environmental competence among students for use in everyday activities.

“…Environmental education scholars (e.g., Griswold, 2017; Mullins, 2014; Singh, 2013) have used SLT to challenge traditional lecture-based pedagogical practices and argue instead for experiential learning. Experiential learning inherently recognizes that learning “is not separated from the world of action but exists in robust, complex, social environments made up of actors, actions, and situations” (Stein, 1998).…”

Arts-based research offers a potentially valuable approach for students trained in the positivist tradition of environmental issues to expand their repertoire. This article traces the experience of students in an undergraduate course that examines the US food system through immersive photography, using arts-based research as the core methodological theme of exploration and inquiry. The research approach to assessing student growth and integration of this model builds on both quantitative and qualitative designs, offering a triangulated look at interdisciplinarity. The article contemplates the ways in which situated learning through visual immersion helps students construct new ways of understanding the world around them. Further, this research promotes opportunities for research-grounded paradigm shifts with the help of supportive environments, scaffolding embodied knowledge through creative experience.
