Sustainable development, forestSammendrag
This article has taken a closer look on some of the aspects of the environmental learning project “Lære med skogen” (LMS) from the Forestry institute (Skogbrukets kursinstitutt) to consider its value in relation to education when it comes to sustainable development.
The analysis of the 61 tuition activities in the digital learning resource “Uteskoleveven”, shows that the forest is not being presented as a functioning ecosystem, to the extent that it should. It is significant to highlight the forest’s ecosystem, if one is to use it as a classroom to teach about sustainable development. More ecological knowledge is essential in these activities and has to be present. In addition, more of the activities should be emphasizing the importance of dead wood being essential to the function of the forest’s ecosystem. If the students are meant to develop an understanding for the sustainable development in a forest, a theory about the forest as a functioning ecosystem has to be focused upon, taught in an environment with specific ecological qualities.
