Abstract

V originále

Within the intentions of eco-social educational theories, the author characterizes the so-called biophile (pro-natural) orientation of education. Considering that nature is a permanent part of the educational content and also a means of education, the author points out the possibilities of school instruction to overcome the manipulative perception of nature and primitive egocentric beliefs and values. She emphasizes the experiential and learning-by-doing orientation of the instruction and the work with children's images of the world of nature, which can develop a new way of critical thinking, leading to cessation of the existing way of damaging nature and to the anthropocentrism which is subdued to the environmental discipline and ethical awareness.
