Ecopedagogy has become central in transforming environ mental pedagogies. Nevertheless, its full potential has not
been realised especially in developing countries. This study
investigated the extent to which a course taught in one
university in Tanzania reflects the tenets of ecopedagogy.
Based on seven-years experience in teaching the course,
analysis of the course curriculum and on lessons from recent
efforts to teach the course using ecopedagogy, I find the
course more consistent with ecopedagogy in the aspects
focusing on indigenous knowledge, learning from different
perspectives and democratisation of learning. However, the
course is less consistent with ecopedagogy in the aspects of
critical analysis of environmental discourses and globalisa tion. Moreover, I report on the contradictions arising from
teaching using a highly centralised curriculum, on one hand,
and using approaches that emphasise on critical co construction of knowledge on the other hand. Finally, the
implications for theory and practice are discussed. |
