SchülerInnen auf der Suche nach den Wurzeln unserer Umweltprobleme. Umwelthistorische Forschung in technischen Schulen als Beitrag zur Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung.
Intro Umwelthistorische Forschung mit Schüler(inne)n ist möglich und trägt zur Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung bei. Dies zeigt das Projekt Unsere Umwelt hat Geschichte an einer technischen Schule in Wien. Abstract We conducted research in environmental history with students from a technical secondary school. Some participants of the project Our Environment Has a History probably doubted the feasibility at the outset of this transdisciplinary project in 2008. After two years′ work we discuss the challenges of the project, i.e., the role definitions and cultural differen ces in the conception of knowledge, research and learning between school and academia, and how they were mastered. This evaluation is based on the expe riences made during the cooperation and on results from concomitant research. How to guide the students in their indepen dent research was a defining question. We analyse which factors were decisive for the success of the cooperation and we assess the contribution of the students′ research to the relatively new research field of environmental history: They brought in new topics that related to their lives as technical trainees rather than to academic discourse. Their work yielded results at the interface of environmental history, technology and environmental problems. We conclude that the implementation of environmental history in schools can contribute to education for sustainable development.
