Environmental Education in Israel: Diverse Views, Origins and Pedagogies

Prof. Tal Tali

The webinar will be conducted in English.
Environmental education (EE) in Israel is affected by historical aspects and by current global trends. Historically, nature education was part of Zionist values of strengthening bonding between Jews and their historical homeland. Early Zionist educators, affected by European national movements advocated learning and activity in the outdoors to promote “national health” and patriotism. Hiking and exploration of unknown places were highly valued, and learning the natural history of the Land of Israel was viewed as positive action of youth. In the 1960s, the nature conservation movement appeared as part of the first environmental struggle to preserve the Hula Valley swamp and lake. The common method – exploring the outdoors became the ideal of the nature conservation movement, but the idea was to “deliver The message”. Only in the late 1980s and after more environmental voices appeared acknowledging that the Israeli public is more diverse. Participation of the public in discussions and decision-making activities affected the establishment of diverse environmental organizations and the appearance of different and even competing educational endeavors on the conservation-education, environmental-education and education for sustainability sequence.

The MOFET Institute was established in 1983 on the initiative of the Department of Teacher Education and with the blessing of the management of the Ministry of Education, and commenced its role as a laboratory for study programs in the colleges and seminars. Over the years, the Institute expanded its fields of activity. The uniqueness of The MOFET Institute resides in the fact that it serves as an extra-institutional setting whose activity is linked to all the teacher education institutions, both on the institutional and on the individual levels. Its goal is to foster and assist in the professional development of the teaching staff in teacher education institutions.
