Abstract

Abstract Individuals increasingly rely on digital media technologies to learn about and access new information. Yet, despite the dramatic rise in electronic media use among youth and adults, our understanding of its impact, opportunities, and challenges within environmental education remains limited, especially in home contexts. Using a learning ecology framework, we conducted a two-week diary study with 58 diverse adult caretakers, asking them to engage in environmental learning moments with their children. Drawing on qualitative reports of those moments, we found that families relied heavily on digital technologies to support their child’s environmental learning, frequently to supplement other activities or spark rich discussions. Findings illustrate how the digitalization of environmental education can extend beyond passive screen time. Overall, this study reveals the critical role of family conversations and shared digital technologies in supporting environmental learning.

连接技术和自然:数字媒体在家庭环境学习背景下使用的影响和机会
个人越来越依赖数字媒体技术来学习和获取新信息。然而,尽管青少年和成年人使用电子媒体的人数急剧增加,但我们对其在环境教育中的影响、机遇和挑战的理解仍然有限,特别是在家庭环境中。使用学习生态学框架,我们对58名不同的成年看护人进行了为期两周的日记研究,要求他们与孩子一起参与环境学习时刻。根据这些时刻的定性报告,我们发现家庭严重依赖数字技术来支持孩子的环境学习,经常补充其他活动或引发丰富的讨论。研究结果说明了环境教育的数字化如何超越被动屏幕时间。总体而言,本研究揭示了家庭对话和共享数字技术在支持环境学习方面的关键作用。

期刊介绍: Any educator in the environmental field will find The Journal of Environmental Education indispensable. Based on recent research in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, the journal details how best to present environmental issues and how to evaluate programs already in place for primary through university level and adult students. University researchers, park and recreation administrators, and teachers from the United States and abroad provide new analyses of the instruction, theory, methods, and practices of environmental communication and education in peer-reviewed articles. Reviews of the most recent books, textbooks, videos, and other educational materials by experts in the field appear regularly.
