My sister and I lead very different lives. I work as a scientist in the business community. My sister works as an academic. We both have advanced degrees; mine is a PhD in environmental toxicology and hers is a PhD in environmental education and communication. We disagree fundamentally on a number of issues spanning the socio-political spectrum. We vigorously debate subjects that include intensive food production practices, pesticide use, organic certification, and the definition of “healthy” food, to name a few. However, what is more important are the issues on which we agree. Both of us work to protect and enhance our natural environment, albeit from very different lenses. The challenges realized in the 21st century, ranging from food security to global climate change, will not be resolved through polarized warring factions of entrenched ideologies, but rather by a willingness to listen, mutual respect, and commitment to cooperate.
我姐姐和我过着截然不同的生活。我在商界担任科学家。我姐姐是一名学者。我们俩都有高级学位;我是环境毒理学的博士学位,她的是环境教育和传播的博士学位。我们在跨越社会政治光谱的一系列问题上存在根本上的分歧。我们积极辩论的主题包括集约化食品生产实践、农药使用、有机认证和“健康”食品的定义,仅举几例。然而,更重要的是我们达成一致意见的问题。我们俩都致力于保护和改善我们的自然环境,尽管从非常不同的角度来看。从粮食安全到全球气候变化,21世纪面临的挑战不会通过根深蒂固的意识形态的两极分化交战派别来解决,而是通过愿意倾听、相互尊重和承诺合作来解决。

Our future is much like a will inherited from our forebears. We can either argue over how to divide the environmental inheritance, or we can work together to preserve the state of the environment for future generations. What is most important is not what we gain for ourselves, but rather what we leave behind as our legacy. We are not only siblings; we are parents, as well. We aspire to the idea of food security and concurrently the idyllic notion of raising our children in a sustainable environment. We want clean water, air, and healthy soil supporting plant and animal life that will, in turn, provide nourishment for ourselves and our children. We want less stress and more free time to be with our families.
我们的未来很像从我们的祖先那里继承下来的遗嘱。我们可以就如何划分环境遗产争论不休,或者我们可以共同努力,为子孙后代保护环境的状态。最重要的不是我们为自己获得了什么,而是我们留下的遗产。我们不仅是兄弟姐妹;我们也是父母。我们渴望实现粮食安全的理念,同时也追求在可持续环境中抚养我们的孩子的田园诗般的理念。我们需要清洁的水、空气和健康的土壤来支持植物和动物的生命,这反过来又将为我们自己和我们的孩子提供营养。我们希望减少压力,有更多的空闲时间与家人在一起。

The socio-political landscape of 21st century environmental issues is complicated. And, although it may be fanciful to hope that society can function as one big happy family all the time, we do not need to be completely dysfunctional either. In fact, discussions of environmental issues should be treated with the same degree of sensitivity, respect, and understanding among stakeholders as my sister and I treat each other when we discuss family issues. Opinions and perspectives undoubtedly vary within and among the complexities of society. Nevertheless, we progress only if conscious and concerted effort is
21世纪环境问题的社会政治格局是复杂的。而且,尽管希望社会能够一直像一个幸福的大家庭一样运作可能是异想天开的,但我们也不需要完全功能失调。事实上,利益相关者对环境问题的讨论应该像我和姐姐在讨论家庭问题时一样,以同样程度的敏感、尊重和理解来对待。毫无疑问,在社会的复杂性内部和之间,意见和观点各不相同。然而,只有当有意识和协调一致的努力时,我们才能取得进步

put forth to communicate; dialogue is the key. It is not so important to always agree or even to be right, but rather to listen and to be heard, valued, and understood.
提出来交流;对话是关键。并不总是同意甚至正确并不重要,而是倾听和被倾听、重视和理解。

A core message my sister shares with her students in her classes is that by simplifying our lives and resisting the convention that consumption is equivalent to happiness, we see that although perspectives differ, our core values overlap. Communications research emphasizes the importance of framing an issue in different ways to appeal to our core values (Moser 2010; McKenzie-Mohr 2011; Stafford and Brain 2016). In The Psychology of Sustainable Behavior: Tips for empowering people to take environmentally positive action, Manning (2009, p 14) states “framing is honestly communicating the evidence but in a way that emphasizes how the issue connects to people’s deeper concerns and values; framing makes an issue more personally relevant. A good frame is compatible with the target audience’s worldview.” Finding common values and sharing these through effective framing is a major part of my sister’s work. What we find is despite our many differences, especially those targeted by news and social media, there are commonalities we all share.
我姐姐在课堂上与她的学生分享的一个核心信息是,通过简化我们的生活并抵制消费等同于幸福的习俗,我们看到尽管观点不同,但我们的核心价值观是重叠的。传播研究强调了以不同的方式构建问题以吸引我们的核心价值观的重要性(Moser 2010;McKenzie-Mohr 2011 年;Stafford 和 Brain 2016)。在《可持续行为心理学:赋予人们采取环保行动的技巧》中,曼宁(2009 年,第 14 页)指出“框架是诚实地传达证据,但以一种强调问题如何与人们更深层次的关注点和价值观联系起来的方式;框架使问题与个人更相关。一个好的框架是与目标受众的世界观相容的。找到共同的价值观,并通过有效的框架来分享这些价值观,是我姐姐工作的主要部分。我们发现,尽管我们之间存在许多差异,尤其是新闻和社交媒体所针对的差异,但我们都有共同点。

From my perspective, divergent opinions are best overcome through engagement and transparency (Brain et al. 2016; Chapman et al. 2018). The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) describes its technical workshop program as a place where “a multidisciplinary and tripartite approach provide[s] a balanced, science-based view on the subject.” Essentially, SETAC and its workshops are effective and successful forums because they embrace differing viewpoints, facilitate dialogue, and foster interaction. Although science is more often the pursuit of truth rather than consensus, scientists widely regard the gathering of consensus an important feature in the pursuit of truth. After all, the finding of scientific fact is of little consequence unless it is properly articulated, debated, and endorsed. Resolving the many ideologies that span the socio-political spectrum—ranging from NGOs to academics, government, and industry—is no trivial task. The ebb and flow of peace, love, and debate cycles through our families, our workplaces, and our countries. And yet, we find as siblings a shared conviction in our common values for raising our children and achieving our aspirations for their future. To confront and resolve the environmental challenges of the 21st century, collectively, the many different cultures and perspectives that constitute society will need to transcend the current confrontational approach and find places for engagement, respect, compromise, perseverance, and agreement. As different as my sister and I may be in our viewpoints, we are bound by a commitment to the next generation. Ultimately, we do not need to be one big happy family, but we also do not need to be completely dysfunctional because, for better or worse, we are all on this planet together.
从我的角度来看,最好通过参与和透明度来克服不同意见(Brain 等人,2016 年;Chapman 等人,2018 年)。环境毒理学和化学学会 (SETAC) 将其技术研讨会计划描述为“多学科和三方方法为该主题提供平衡的、基于科学的观点”的地方。从本质上讲,SETAC及其研讨会是有效和成功的论坛,因为它们接受不同的观点,促进对话并促进互动。尽管科学更多的是追求真理而不是共识,但科学家们普遍认为,收集共识是追求真理的一个重要特征。毕竟,科学事实的发现除非得到适当的阐述、辩论和认可,否则它几乎没有什么意义。解决跨越社会政治光谱的多种意识形态——从非政府组织到学术界、政府和工业界——并非易事。和平、爱和辩论的起起落落在我们的家庭、我们的工作场所和我们的国家中循环。然而,作为兄弟姐妹,我们发现我们对抚养孩子和实现他们未来抱负的共同价值观有着共同的信念。为了共同面对和解决21世纪的环境挑战,构成社会的许多不同文化和观点将需要超越当前的对抗性方法,并找到参与、尊重、妥协、坚持和达成一致的地方。尽管我和姐姐的观点可能不同,但我们对下一代的承诺是有约束力的。归根结底,我们不需要成为一个幸福的大家庭,但我们也不需要完全功能失调,因为无论好坏,我们都在这个星球上。

Introduction
介绍

Discovering the Anthropocene - the age of the human - has constituted an enormous rupture across the sciences and, more gradually, the social sciences. Although far from a settled concept (Hamilton et al. 2015, Lidskog & Waterton 2016, Ruddiman et al. 2011), the Anthropocene signifies a new role for humankind: from a species that had to adapt to changes in its natural environment to one that has become a driving force in the planetary system (Biermann 2014, p. 57; Crutzen & Stoermer 2000; Steffen et al. 2015).
发现人类世——人类的时代——已经构成了科学领域的巨大裂痕,更逐渐地,也构成了社会科学的巨大裂痕。虽然远非一个固定的概念(Hamilton et al. 2015, Lidskog & Waterton 2016, Ruddiman et al. 2011), 但人类世象征着人类的新角色:从一个必须适应自然环境变化的物种转变为一个已成为行星系统驱动力的物种(Biermann 2014,第 57 页;Crutzen & Stoermer 2000;Steffen 等人,2015 年)。

Now that humans have been revealed as powerful “geological agents” (Chakrabarty 2009), the Anthropocene is prompting us to radically rethink our modes of existence (Latour 2014). An increasing body of work has accordingly examined, explored, and critiqued the concepts, consequences, and solutions within the Anthropocene. However, according to Lövbrand et al. (2015, p. 212), much of this work has been underpinned by “marginal and instrumental roles granted to the social sciences and humanities […] dominated by the natural sciences and focused on environmental rather than social change” (see also Lidskog & Waterton 2016).This has led to increasing assertions like those made by Viñuales (2016, p. 5) that the Anthropocene “calls upon all disciplines, the entire body of human knowledge about the world, to analyze what is happening and how to face it.” These rallying cries are demanding change and have already begun to change thinking around the important issue of security, particularly in fields such as law, criminology, and international relations, for whom a fundamental topic is safety and security (Harrington & Shearing 2017, Shearing 2015).
既然人类已被揭示为强大的“地质代理人”(Chakrabarty 2009),人类世正在促使我们从根本上重新思考我们的生存方式(Latour 2014)。因此,越来越多的工作对人类世内部的概念、后果和解决方案进行了审视、探索和批评。然而,根据 Lövbrand 等人(2015 年,第 212 页)的说法,这项工作的大部分都得到了“赋予社会科学和人文学科的边缘和工具性作用 [...]以自然科学为主,专注于环境而不是社会变革“(另见 Lidskog & Waterton 2016)。这导致了越来越多的断言,例如 Viñuales(2016 年,第 5 页)提出的断言,即人类世“呼吁所有学科,关于世界的整个人类知识体系,分析正在发生的事情以及如何面对它。这些口号要求改变,并且已经开始改变围绕重要安全问题的思维,特别是在法律,犯罪学和国际关系等领域,对他们来说,一个基本话题是安全和保障(Harrington&Shearing,2017年,Shearing,2015年)。

In the Anthropocene, law, criminology, and international relations scholars are beginning to accept that humans are shaping the future of the environment in ways that are not yet fully understood, and that our very security is determined by both our use of and enmeshment with the environment (Biermann et al. 2016; Dalby 2017, p. 243; Floyd 2015; Gunningham & Holley 2016; Hulme 2009; Shearing 2015). Indeed, the safety and security that earth systems have provided to humans and our fellow species can no longer simply be regarded as the work of the environment or Nature, and as something that we humans must simply live with. National security is increasingly confronted by climate- and ecologically induced migration, resource wars, and even violent conflicts (Chalecki 2013, p. 4; Hamilton 2017, p.
在人类世,法律、犯罪学和国际关系学者开始接受,人类正在以尚未完全理解的方式塑造环境的未来,我们的安全是由我们对环境的使用和与环境的融合决定的(Biermann 等人,2016 年;Dalby 2017 年,第 243 页;弗洛伊德 2015;Gunningham & Holley 2016;赫尔姆 2009;剪羊毛 2015 年)。事实上,地球系统为人类和我们的同胞提供的安全和保障不能再简单地被视为环境或自然的工作,而不能简单地被视为我们人类必须与之共存的东西。国家安全越来越多地面临气候和生态引发的移民、资源战争甚至暴力冲突(Chalecki 2013,第 4 页;汉密尔顿 2017 年,第 1 页。

580). Moreover, as humans are revealed as a key force, difficult questions arise for how we incorporate the condition of the Anthropocene into security and whether and how humanity can secure itself from itself (Hamilton 2017, p. 580; Harrington 2017). As Dalby (2017, p. 235) nicely puts it, “Security too now needs an update!”
580). 此外,随着人类被揭示为一种关键力量,我们如何将人类世的状况纳入安全以及人类是否以及如何能够保护自己免受自身侵害,出现了一些棘手的问题(汉密尔顿 2017 年,第 580 页;哈灵顿 2017 年)。正如 Dalby(2017 年,第 235 页)所说,“安全性现在也需要更新!

The Anthropocene
人类世

Humans have thrived on earth during a temperate climatic period on the planet that geologists have dubbed the Holocene, meaning “wholly new.” This short period of approximately 12,000 years since the last Ice Age has seen us reach into every corner of our planet as we have created safe spaces for ourselves in which to live, work, and play (Harrington & Shearing 2017). Enabling this accomplishment has been a planetary infrastructure of “ecological services” (Costanza et al. 1997) that have sustained us as biophysical beings.
人类在地球上的温带气候时期在地球上繁衍生息,地质学家称之为全新世,意思是“全新的”。自上一个冰河时代以来,这短短的大约12,000年的时间已经见证了我们进入地球的每个角落,因为我们为自己创造了生活,工作和娱乐的安全空间(Harrington&Shearing,2017)。使这一成就成为可能的是“生态服务”的行星基础设施(Costanza et al. 1997),它支撑着我们作为生物物理生物。

For us as humans, these services were conceived of as Nature, a realm that we took advantage of, took for granted, and thought we did not influence. Certainly, many indigenous peoples had conceptions and rules that recognized our interconnectedness with the natural world (Adamson & Davis 2017; Valverde 2017; Williams 2013, p. 261), but what many in the Global North barely glimpsed, and did not fully understand or acknowledge, was that Nature constituted our biophysical security. Without Nature, there would be no us.
对于我们人类来说,这些服务被认为是自然,一个我们利用的领域,认为是理所当然的,并认为我们没有影响。当然,许多土著人民的观念和规则承认我们与自然世界的相互联系(Adamson & Davis 2017;巴尔韦德 2017;威廉姆斯 2013 年,第 261 页),但全球北方的许多人几乎没有瞥见,也没有完全理解或承认,大自然构成了我们的生物物理安全。没有自然,就没有我们。

While we lived in and took advantage of Nature, our realm of accomplishment was “the social” (Rose 1996). The natural sciences studied Nature, whereas social scientists studied the results of the human work. Within this conception, humans, had been influential in shaping the social world, but with respect to the world of Nature we have been, in Harari’s (2014) words, decidedly “insignificant animals.”
当我们生活在大自然中并利用大自然时,我们的成就领域是“社会”(Rose 1996)。自然科学研究的是自然,而社会科学家研究的是人类工作的结果。在这种观念中,人类在塑造社会世界方面发挥了影响,但就自然世界而言,用赫拉利(2014)的话来说,我们绝对是“微不足道的动物”。

This framing has quite suddenly been overturned via a “collapse of nature into society” (O’Malley 2018), a collapse that was admittedly a long time in coming. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, an acceleration commenced, driven by a contingent coupling of a fossil fuel (initially coal), the steam engine, and manufacturing of goods through machines (Marks 2006). What we did not realize initially, but now know, is that through our harnessing of fossil fuels, and the release of carbon into the atmosphere that this involved, we humans became very significant animals indeed. So significant that we have become influential geological actors (Chakrabarty 2009) who not only are part of Nature but have fundamentally changed it. This is exemplified by anthropogenic climate change and an array of declining indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem health (Clarke 2014, Steffen et al.
通过“自然向社会的崩溃”(O'Malley 2018),这种框架突然被推翻了,这种崩溃无疑已经持续了很长时间。随着工业革命的到来,在化石燃料(最初是煤炭)、蒸汽机和通过机器制造商品的偶然耦合的推动下,开始加速(Marks 2006)。我们最初没有意识到,但现在知道的是,通过我们对化石燃料的利用,以及由此产生的碳释放到大气中,我们人类确实成为了非常重要的动物。如此重要,以至于我们已经成为有影响力的地质参与者(Chakrabarty 2009),他们不仅是自然的一部分,而且从根本上改变了自然。人为气候变化以及一系列生物多样性和生态系统健康指标下降就是一个例子(Clarke 2014,Steffen et al.

2015, UN Environ. Progr. 2012). The “unintended consequence” (Merton 1936) of our actions has been to fundamentally undermine the “safe planetary space” upon which our well-being had depended in huge and consequential ways (Holley & Shearing 2018b).
2015年,联合国环境署。项目2012). 我们行动的“意外后果”(Merton 1936)从根本上破坏了我们的福祉以巨大而重要的方式依赖的“安全行星空间”(Holley & Shearing,2018b)。

In doing so, we have placed our survival, and that of others, in jeopardy (Lovelock 2006). This, Klein (2014) states, “changes everything.” For law, criminology, and international relations more generally, this means that we now need to rethink our most basic assumptions. We can no longer treat our “safe planetary space” as independent of us. We can no longer consider “natural” disasters as natural. What earth scientists have recognized (Crutzen 2002), and what law, criminology, and international relations must now recognize, is that Nature is in large part a human accomplishment. This recognition has given rise to the claim that the earth has now entered a new geological age, a human age, the Anthropocene.
在这样做的过程中,我们将自己和他人的生存置于危险之中(Lovelock 2006)。Klein(2014)指出,这“改变了一切”。对于法律、犯罪学和更普遍的国际关系来说,这意味着我们现在需要重新思考我们最基本的假设。我们不能再将我们的“安全行星空间”视为独立于我们。我们不能再将“自然”灾害视为自然灾害。地球科学家已经认识到(Crutzen 2002),以及法律、犯罪学和国际关系现在必须认识到的,是大自然在很大程度上是人类的成就。这种认识导致了这样一种说法,即地球现在已经进入了一个新的地质时代,一个人类时代,即人类世。

Abstract
抽象

Since about 1990, when sustainability became a key concept for a wide range of scientific disciplines, the need for multidisciplinary collaboration has increased. We present five illustrative cases from the long-standing environmental research work at the University of Groningen. The projects described are about hazardous materials risk, odor annoyance, energy scenario evaluation, climate decision analysis, and household consumption, respectively. The various case discussions emphasize experiences in research conceptualization, project design and execution, main findings, policy advice and surplus value, and difficulties met. Conclusions and recommendations are presented about the practice of multidisciplinary research. Finally, some challenges for research and development about environmental sustainability are discussed.
自 1990 年左右以来,当可持续性成为广泛科学学科的关键概念时,对多学科合作的需求有所增加。我们介绍了格罗宁根大学长期环境研究工作的五个说明性案例。所描述的项目分别涉及有害物质风险、气味烦恼、能源情景评估、气候决策分析和家庭消费。各种案例讨论侧重于研究概念化、项目设计和执行方面的经验、主要发现、政策建议和剩余价值以及遇到的困难。提出了关于多学科研究实践的结论和建议。最后,讨论了在环境可持续性方面研究和开发面临的一些挑战。

Real-life issues hardly ever match traditional disciplinary approaches in applied scientific research. However, in the study of environmental problems the natural sciences have long been in the forefront—and rightly so. This is related to the need for assessing the state of the external environment in various respects. A focus on natural science analyses is traditionally linked to an effects-oriented kind of environmental policy. Knowledge of harmful effects makes one first of all want to combat, mitigate, or compensate for the effects. Thus, for quite a while, the human causation or aggravation of environmental deterioration was under attended, not only in problem analysis but also in policy interventions. This classical picture of environmental problem solving changed around the time of the Brundtland report “Our Common Future” (WCED, 1987), introducing the notion of sustainable development.
在应用科学研究中,现实生活中的问题几乎无法与传统的学科方法相提并论。然而,在研究环境问题方面,自然科学长期以来一直处于最前沿——这是正确的。这与从各个方面评估外部环境状况的需要有关。传统上,对自然科学分析的关注与以效果为导向的环境政策有关。对有害影响的了解使人们首先想要对抗、减轻或补偿这些影响。因此,在相当长的一段时间内,不仅在问题分析中,而且在政策干预中,对环境恶化的人为原因或恶化都没有得到重视。在布伦特兰报告“我们共同的未来”(WCED,1987年)提出可持续发展的概念时,这种解决环境问题的经典图景发生了变化。

Since the late 1980s the sustainability concept has been at the center of both the natural environmental sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology) and a wide range of environmental subdisciplines in psychology, sociology, economics, law, and philosophy (Robinson, 2004). This increased the need for multidisciplinary research. This article aims to demonstrate the nature and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration; it describes a number of illustrative projects; it summarizes some of the surplus value obtained and
自 1980 年代后期以来,可持续性概念一直是自然环境科学(物理、化学和生物学)以及心理学、社会学、经济学、法学和哲学等广泛环境子学科的中心(Robinson,2004 年)。这增加了对多学科研究的需求。本文旨在展示多学科合作的性质和重要性;它描述了一些说明性项目;它总结了所获得的一些剩余价值和

difficulties met; and it draws lessons for future research and policy support about environmental sustainability.
遇到的困难;它为未来有关环境可持续性的研究和政策支持吸取了经验教训。

Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinarity
多学科、跨学科和跨学科

Multidisciplinarity means that a particular (policy) problem or an (other) observable phenomenon is considered from different disciplinary viewpoints. This eventually involves a confrontation of different scientific approaches (concepts, models, methods, findings), in the hope that together the multidisciplinary research team succeeds in producing a coherent picture of the relevant problem, possible explanations for (parts of) it, and potential solutions.
多学科性意味着从不同的学科角度考虑特定的(政策)问题或(其他)可观察的现象。这最终涉及到不同科学方法(概念、模型、方法、发现)的对抗,希望多学科研究团队能够共同成功地产生相关问题的连贯画面、对其(部分)的可能解释以及可能的解决方案。

The biggest hope of a multidisciplinary team is that they are able to construct a common, comprehensive definition of the problem, an explanatory view of relevant mechanisms and processes, and a manageable set of problem solutions. To the extent that the team succeeds, however, they would find themselves in an interdisciplinary endeavor, in which relevant parts (concepts, models, methods, findings) of different scientific disciplines are merged together and neatly integrated. Thus, for example, a natural science model about the spreading of air pollution might be coupled to a behavioral science model of using motorized transport; or an economic model of consumer utility maximization might be combined to a psychological model of habit formation and social status seeking. This would extend the scientific basis for effective policy making.
多学科团队的最大希望是他们能够构建一个共同、全面的问题定义,对相关机制和过程的解释性观点,以及一套可管理的问题解决方案。然而,如果团队成功,他们会发现自己处于一项跨学科的努力中,其中不同科学学科的相关部分(概念、模型、方法、发现)被合并在一起并整齐地整合在一起。因此,例如,关于空气污染蔓延的自然科学模型可能与使用机动化交通工具的行为科学模型相结合;或者,消费者效用最大化的经济模型可以与习惯形成和寻求社会地位的心理学模型相结合。这将为有效的政策制定提供科学基础。

In contrast to multi- and interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity signifies the crossing of boundaries between scientific and nonscientific communities. Transdisciplinarity represents a set of lively interactions between scientists on the one hand, and representatives of industry, government, and/or civil society on the other. For scientific researchers transdisciplinarity means “reaching out to society.” For members of government, industry, and civil organizations it means maintaining contact with science and seeking scientific support and advice whenever needed. This may deepen society’s understanding of complex (policy) problems and may prevent the selection of too limited and/or biased problem solutions.
与多学科和跨学科性相比,跨学科性意味着科学界和非科学界之间的界限交叉。跨学科性一方面代表了科学家与工业界、政府和/或民间社会代表之间的一系列生动互动。对于科学研究人员来说,跨学科意味着“向社会伸出援手”。对于政府、行业和民间组织的成员来说,这意味着与科学保持联系,并在需要时寻求科学支持和建议。这可能会加深社会对复杂(政策)问题的理解,并可能防止选择过于有限和/或有偏见的问题解决方案。

Sustainability in an Applied Sciences Context
应用科学背景下的可持续性

Sustainability is a multidimensional concept involving economic security, social well-being, and environmental quality (see also Vlek and Steg, this issue). Essential items on both the research and policy agendas concerning sustainability are the resource intensity of human production and consumption patterns, the assessment and management of natural resource stocks and flows, and societal transitions in various human activity domains. Examples are energy supply and demand, agriculture and livestock production, availability and
可持续性是一个涉及经济安全、社会福祉和环境质量的多维概念(另见 Vlek 和 Steg,本期)。在关于可持续性的研究和政策议程上,基本项目是人类生产和消费模式的资源密集度、自然资源储存和流动的评估和管理以及人类活动各个领域的社会转型。例如能源供应和需求、农业和畜牧业生产、可用性和

consumption of drinking water, mobility and transportation, and recreation and tourism. Environmental impacts associated with these activity domains are urban air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, environmental noise, soil desiccation, and nature degradation. These burdens contribute to reductions in environmental quality and may involve threats to human health and well-being.
饮用水消费、交通和运输以及娱乐和旅游。与这些活动领域相关的环境影响包括城市空气污染、温室气体排放、环境噪音、土壤干燥和自然退化。这些负担导致环境质量下降,并可能对人类健康和福祉构成威胁。

Collaboration between the natural and social (environmental) sciences is necessary to understand the complex nature of the problems, to experience the ways in which different contributions can be made from different disciplinary backgrounds, and to offer policymakers a more complete understanding and corresponding set of tools (e.g., technical and behavioral, individual, and organizational) for addressing and preventing policy problems in real-life practice.
自然科学和社会科学(环境)之间的合作对于理解问题的复杂性质、体验不同学科背景可以做出不同贡献的方式,并为政策制定者提供更完整的理解和相应的工具集(例如,技术和行为、个人和组织)以解决和预防现实生活中的政策问题是必要的。

However, practicing multidisciplinarity is often challenging. Researchers from different backgrounds have to find each other and get acquainted. They must learn to understand and appreciate each other’s perspectives. They must derive a common motivation from the idea that the whole may become more than the sum of its parts. And what should tie them together is the focus on a single problem area, for example, energy use, environmental noise, or external safety. This, however, draws them into a fair amount of practical problemanalytic homework before they can make both their own and their collective scientific contributions and reap the extra benefits of collaborating across disciplinary boundaries.
然而,实践多学科性往往具有挑战性。来自不同背景的研究人员必须找到彼此并结识。他们必须学会理解和欣赏彼此的观点。他们必须从这样一种观念中得出一个共同的动机,即整体可能变得比其各部分的总和还要多。而应该将它们联系在一起的是关注单一问题领域,例如,能源使用、环境噪声或外部安全。然而,这让他们陷入了相当多的实际问题分析作业中,然后他们才能做出自己和集体的科学贡献,并获得跨学科合作的额外好处。

Formulating Policy Implications
制定政策影响

Across the various collaborative projects conducted we have experienced that offering policy suggestions from multidisciplinary research often poses challenges. One reason for this is that the researchers and the policymakers may perceive the original or a current (seemingly fitting) policy problem rather differently. Thus good and early communication between researchers and policymakers is important. Second, policy problems generally have a dynamic character. While researchers may need a stable problem formulation for the duration of their (say, 3-year) project, policymakers may be confronted with changing circumstances whereby their original problem may be significantly transformed. Third, research may address only part of the policy problem because it would be infeasible to cover an entire policy-making process.
在开展的各种合作项目中,我们了解到,从多学科研究中提供政策建议往往会带来挑战。造成这种情况的一个原因是,研究人员和政策制定者可能会对原始或当前(看似合适的)政策问题的看法大相径庭。因此,研究人员和政策制定者之间良好和早期的沟通非常重要。第二,政策问题一般具有动态性。虽然研究人员可能需要在他们的项目期间(例如,3年)有一个稳定的问题表述,但政策制定者可能会面临不断变化的环境,他们原来的问题可能会发生重大变化。第三,研究可能只涉及政策问题的一部分,因为涵盖整个政策制定过程是不可行的。

General Conclusions and Suggestions
一般性结论和建议

[…]

Embarking upon a multidisciplinary research project may be initially alienating, and it may turn out to be painful as well as rewarding (cf. Tress, Tress, & Fry, 2005). It may alienate one from one’s home base in a given disciplinary group or department. It may be painful for the exposition of your own relative ignorance in view of others’ know-how. But after all it may be rewarding for the broadening of your intellectual horizons and the effectiveness of a collaborative policy advice. Yet, one may always be faced with the question: “How far should one go?”: in making yourself familiar with the practical policy domain under consideration, in lending your ears to colleagues trying to “sell” a completely different view of the problem at hand, or in transgressing the boundaries of “pure science” in attempting to support policymakers in handling their own immediate policy problem more effectively.
开展多学科研究项目最初可能会让人感到疏远,结果可能是痛苦的,也可能是有益的(参见Tress,Tress和Fry,2005)。它可能会使一个人与特定学科团体或部门的家乡疏远。鉴于他人的专业知识,阐述你自己的相对无知可能会很痛苦。但毕竟,对于拓宽你的知识视野和合作政策建议的有效性来说,这可能是有益的。然而,人们可能总是面临这样的问题:“一个人应该走多远?”:在让自己熟悉所考虑的实际政策领域时,在听取同事试图“推销”对手头问题的完全不同观点时,或者在试图支持政策制定者更有效地处理他们自己眼前的政策问题时,你超越了“纯科学”的界限。

In the authors’ view, multidisciplinary research often takes place in a science– society arena that is ideally suited to test and uphold the rules of the game called science: concisely describe and explain this or that problematic phenomenon; find out and predict how things work; be aware of the directive power of conceptual frameworks; consider alternative hypotheses; try and evaluate different methods; approach and exploit various data sources; check for validity and consistency; be detached from political power play; be explicit about the values your clients cherish; and be sensitive to the often subtle play of your own values in determining the design and direction of your research. In this respect it may be worthwhile to engage the real stakeholders (who may use the results) in an early stage of your research planning.
在作者看来,多学科研究通常发生在一个科学-社会领域,这个领域非常适合检验和维护称为科学的游戏规则:简明扼要地描述和解释这个或那个有问题的现象;找出并预测事物的运作方式;了解概念框架的指导力量;考虑替代假设;尝试并评估不同的方法;接近和利用各种数据源;检查有效性和一致性;脱离政治权力游戏;明确说明您的客户所珍视的价值观;并且要敏感地注意到你自己的价值观在决定你的研究设计和方向时往往微妙的作用。在这方面,在研究计划的早期阶段让真正的利益相关者(他们可能会使用结果)参与进来可能是值得的。

Challenges for Sustainability Research and Development
可持续发展研究与开发面临的挑战

Sustainability is a socially founded, policy- and action-oriented multidimensional concept. As a topic of scientific concern, it may attract scholars from various disciplines. These may eventually be assembled into a research area called “sustainability science” (Clark & Dickson, 2003; Swart, Raskin, & Robinson, 2004).
可持续性是一个以社会为基础、以政策和行动为导向的多维概念。作为一个科学关注的话题,它可能会吸引来自各个学科的学者。这些最终可能会被组装成一个称为“可持续性科学”的研究领域(Clark&Dickson,2003;Swart,Raskin和Robinson,2004)。

Scientific disciplines have a general theory-oriented purpose and they focus on the enhancement and improvement of descriptive, evaluative, and/or prescriptive knowledge (Gasper, 2001; see also Max-Neef, 2005). However, isolated monodisciplinary approaches or a noninteracting set of separate disciplines are insufficient for an adequate understanding of rather complex societal problems, of which (un)sustainable development is an urgent example. Instead, multidisciplinary or even interdisciplinary approaches are called for.
科学学科具有以理论为导向的一般目的,它们侧重于增强和改进描述性、评价性和/或规定性知识(Gasper,2001;另见Max-Neef,2005)。然而,孤立的单一学科方法或一组不相互作用的独立学科不足以充分理解相当复杂的社会问题,其中(不)可持续发展就是一个紧迫的例子。取而代之的是,需要多学科甚至跨学科的方法。

We conclude that collaboration among colleagues from different disciplines and walks of life generally offers specific rewards for the project outcomes and the participants involved. It
我们得出的结论是,来自不同学科和各行各业的同事之间的合作通常会为项目成果和参与的参与者提供特定的奖励。它

may also inspire university students by showing that there is a larger, more complex world waiting for them after they have finished a (largely) monodisciplinary education.
也可以通过展示在大学生完成(大部分)单一学科教育后,有一个更大、更复杂的世界在等着他们来激励他们。

SUMMARY
总结

Cross-disciplinary research is advocated as a way of improving understanding of the complexity of environmental problems; cross-disciplinary projects, centres and academic institutes have increased. However, there is confusion over the nature of cross-disciplinary research. Through review of papers defining themselves as cross-disciplinary that aim to address conservation problems, and by standardizing the definition of cross-disciplinary research, it is possible to evaluate the potential research impact on peers and practitioners. When papers were reclassified by authors, those reclassified as transdisciplinary were perceived to have a greater impact on practitioners, and those reclassified as non crossdisciplinary had the greatest impact on colleagues. Having clear definitions for types of cross-disciplinary research would help establish a firm foundation, not only for improving research quality, but also for evaluating research impact. While the number of crossdisciplinary studies is increasing, cross-disciplinary research falls short of integrating disciplinary methods in much depth and does not have much impact on participants outside of academia.
提倡跨学科研究,作为提高对环境问题复杂性的理解的一种方式;跨学科项目、中心和学术机构有所增加。然而,对于跨学科研究的性质,人们存在混淆。通过审查将自己定义为旨在解决保护问题的跨学科论文,并通过标准化跨学科研究的定义,可以评估对同行和从业者的潜在研究影响。当论文被作者重新分类时,那些被重新分类为跨学科的论文被认为对从业者有更大的影响,而那些被重新分类为非跨学科的论文对同事的影响最大。对跨学科研究的类型有明确的定义将有助于建立坚实的基础,这不仅有助于提高研究质量,而且有助于评估研究的影响。虽然跨学科研究的数量在增加,但跨学科研究未能深入整合学科方法,对学术界以外的参与者没有太大影响。

INTRODUCTION
介绍

The problems currently facing the environment (for example conservation, sustainable use of ecosystems, climate change, pollution and maintenance of biodiversity) are complex and- dynamic (Tainter 1988; Turner et al. 1990; Gunderson & Holling 2002; Folke et al. 2005; MacMynowski 2007). A range of approaches to better understand this complexity have been proposed, and usually include advocating some form of integration of the expertise, methodologies, or philosophical and/or epistemological perspectives from different research disciplines and/or stakeholder knowledge (Soulé 1985; MA [Millennium Ecosystem Assessment] 2005; Kates et al. 2001; Evely et al. 2008).
目前面临的环境问题(例如保护、生态系统的可持续利用、气候变化、污染和生物多样性的维护)是复杂和动态的(Tainter,1988年;Turner 等人,1990 年;Gunderson&Holling,2002年;Folke 等人,2005 年;MacMynowski 2007 年)。已经提出了一系列方法来更好地理解这种复杂性,通常包括倡导某种形式的整合来自不同研究学科和/或利益相关者知识的专业知识、方法或哲学和/或认识论观点(Soulé 1985;MA [千年生态系统评估],2005年;Kates等人,2001年;Evely 等人,2008 年)。

A number of different terms can be used to indicate different degrees of integration of types of knowledge, disciplinary bases or stakeholder involvement. Within the academic literature this knowledge integration is commonly referred to as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or
可以使用许多不同的术语来表示知识类型、学科基础或利益攸关方参与的不同程度的整合。在学术文献中,这种知识整合通常被称为多学科、跨学科或

transdisciplinary approaches (Table 1). Cross-disciplinarity is used as an overarching term that encompasses these different forms (Tress et al. 2005b).
跨学科方法(表1)。跨学科被用作包含这些不同形式的总括术语(Tress 等人,2005b)。

Not all research into environmental issues needs to be cross-disciplinary. Nevertheless, a cross-disciplinary research approach is likely to assist in understanding the complex dynamics of many key environmental problems in a socioecological context. Such research can: (1) provide new perspectives on complex, dynamic problems (Bammer 2005; Tress et al. 2005a, b; Graybill et al. 2006; Reich & Reich 2006); (2) provide a more holistic view of a problem that is better suited to targeting the underlying drivers and processes of both wider environmental and specific conservation issues (Tress et al. 2005a, b); (3) assist in the selection of more appropriate research methodologies (Kinzig 2001; Evely et al. 2008); (4) provide greater flexibility in research approach and implementation (Newell 2001; Bruce et al. 2004); and (5) facilitate production of new information and insights that would not have been achieved by single disciplinary or epistemological perspectives alone (Miller et al.
并非所有对环境问题的研究都需要是跨学科的。然而,跨学科的研究方法可能有助于理解社会生态背景下许多关键环境问题的复杂动态。这样的研究可以:(1)为复杂、动态的问题提供新的视角(Bammer 2005;Tress 等人,2005a, b;Graybill 等人,2006 年;Reich & Reich 2006);(2)提供更全面的问题观点,更适合针对更广泛的环境和特定保护问题的根本驱动因素和过程(Tress等人,2005a,b);(3)协助选择更合适的研究方法(Kinzig 2001;Evely 等人,2008 年);(4)在研究方法和实施方面提供更大的灵活性(Newell 2001;Bruce 等人,2004 年);(5)促进新信息和见解的产生,而这些信息和见解是仅靠单一学科或认识论观点无法实现的(Miller et al.

2008). […]

A potential outcome of cross-disciplinary research is the stronger linkages it may build, not only between researchers but also between researchers and non academic practitioners (see Table 1). This can have beneficial outcomes such as: (1) increasing the relevance of the research to practice and policy (O’Fallon & Dearry 2002); (2) improving the research focus by clarifying the focus of research (Sutherland et al. 2006); (3) improving learning/adapting as a result of the research process (Fazey et al. 2005a; Reed 2008); and (4) facilitating the uptake of research results and encouraging best practices (Carlsson & Berkes 2005). Within the research process, involving practitioners can enhance scientific understanding and increase project sustainability (Colding & Folke 2001; Stringer et al. 2006; Reed 2008; Fazey et al. 2010). As a result, the contemporary idea of sustainability places a similar emphasis on the participation of stakeholders and the wider community as it does on environmental, social and economic integration (Pullin et al. 2004; Dovers 2005;
跨学科研究的一个潜在结果是,它可能建立更牢固的联系,不仅在研究人员之间,而且在研究人员和非学术从业人员之间(见表1)。这可以产生有益的结果,例如:(1)增加研究与实践和政策的相关性(O'Fallon&Dearry,2002);(2)通过明确研究重点来提高研究重点(Sutherland et al. 2006);(3)作为研究过程的结果,提高学习/适应能力(Fazey et al. 2005a;里德 2008);(4)促进研究成果的吸收和鼓励最佳实践(Carlsson&Berkes,2005)。在研究过程中,让从业者参与进来可以增强科学理解并提高项目的可持续性(Colding&Folke,2001;Stringer 等人,2006 年;里德 2008;Fazey 等人,2010 年)。因此,当代的可持续性概念既强调环境、社会和经济一体化,也强调利益相关者和更广泛社区的参与(Pullin等人,2004年;多佛斯 2005;

Stringer et al. 2006; Reed 2008). Public participation within research ensures relevance to real-world problems and is thought to encourage the uptake of research results by industry or other end-users (Bruce et al. 2004; Fazey et al. 2010).
Stringer 等人,2006 年;里德 2008 年)。公众对研究的参与确保了与现实世界问题的相关性,并被认为可以鼓励行业或其他最终用户接受研究成果(Bruce 等人,2004 年;Fazey 等人,2010 年)。

This paper provides the first analysis of environmental conservation research that defines itself as cross-disciplinary. We ask three main questions in relation to environmental conservation: (1) what are the characteristics of current cross-disciplinary research in environmental conservation? (2) can a standard definition for different types of crossdisciplinarity be used? and (3) if we use a standard definition what may the potential impacts of different types of crossdisciplinary research be on colleagues and practitioners? The paper is based on an evaluation of environmental conservation research papers that define themselves as cross-disciplinary and questionnaire responses from the authors of those papers. The results are discussed in relation to the questions they raise about the current incentives and disincentives for cross-disciplinary research in conservation and for broader environmental issues.
本文首次对将自己定义为跨学科的环境保护研究进行了分析。我们提出了与环境保护相关的三个主要问题:(1)当前环境保护的跨学科研究有什么特点?(2)是否可以对不同类型的交叉学科使用标准定义?(3)如果我们使用标准定义,不同类型的跨学科研究可能对同事和从业者产生什么潜在影响?该论文基于对环境保护研究论文的评估,这些论文将自己定义为跨学科和这些论文作者的问卷回答。对研究结果进行了讨论,并结合它们提出的问题,即目前对保护和更广泛的环境问题的跨学科研究的激励和抑制作用。

Overview
概述

The research included three key stages: (1) identification of cross-disciplinary conservation research; (2) review of the research papers identified (using three separate reviewers to ensure consistency); and (3) a questionnaire sent to authors of the articles identified (n = 96) to determine whether they felt they had correctly classified their papers in relation to the different forms of cross-disciplinary conservation research, and to determine the impact of the papers (as perceived by the authors).
该研究包括三个关键阶段:(1)确定跨学科的保护研究;(2)对确定的研究论文进行审查(使用三名独立的审查员以确保一致性);(3)向所确定文章的作者发送一份问卷(n = 96),以确定他们是否认为他们已经正确地对论文进行了与不同形式的跨学科保护研究相关的分类,并确定论文的影响(如作者所认为的那样)。

Assessing the characteristics of cross-disciplinary papers in conservation
评估跨学科论文在保护领域的特点

In order to identify the characteristics of current crossdisciplinary research within the field of conservation, Anna Evely (AE), Emily Lambert (EL) and Sarah Allen (SA) asked numerous questions of each publication. These included the number of authors involved in the publication, the disciplines of each author, and how many methods of data analysis or collection were used. Questions were identified through the examination of key texts (Stokols et al. 2003; Bruce et al. 2004; Lawrence & Després 2004; Tress et al. 2005a) and by reading a selection of 50 papers from those identified in searches.
为了确定当前保护领域内跨学科研究的特征,Anna Evely (AE)、Emily Lambert (EL) 和 Sarah Allen (SA) 对每份出版物提出了许多问题。这些因素包括参与出版物的作者数量、每位作者的学科以及使用了多少种数据分析或收集方法。通过对关键文本的审查确定了问题(Stokols 等人,2003 年;Bruce 等人,2004 年;Lawrence & Després 2004;Tress et al. 2005a),并从检索中发现的论文中阅读了 50 篇论文。

Identifying what the impacts of the papers were on peers and practitioners
确定论文对同行和从业者的影响

Lead or corresponding authors of papers were asked in a questionnaire to assess whether they thought their papers had (1) high impact, (2) moderate impact, (3) neither moderate nor low impact, (4) low impact and (5) no impact on colleagues and practitioners. We then conducted a bibliometric analysis (removing self citations) to compare average citations per year across categories of crossdisciplinary research (multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and non cross-disciplinary) to validate authors’ perceptions of their impacts on colleagues. Similarly,.we compared non-academic web citations (such as blogs, conservation e-magazines and websites) for each article in order to validate authors’ perceptions of their impacts on practitioners. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess which type of reclassified cross-disciplinary research.was associated with the perceived impacts on the above groups, as well as to compare citation rates.

在一份问卷调查中要求论文的主要作者或通讯作者评估他们是否认为他们的论文具有(1)高影响力,(2)中等影响力,(3)既不中等影响也不低影响,(4)低影响力和(5)对同事和从业者没有影响。然后,我们进行了文献计量分析(去除自我引用),以比较跨学科研究类别(多学科、跨学科、跨学科和非跨学科)每年的平均引用次数,以验证作者对其对同事影响的看法。同样,我们比较了每篇文章的非学术网络引用(如博客、保护电子杂志和网站),以验证作者对其对从业者影响的看法。多项式logistic回归用于评估哪种类型的重新分类的跨学科研究与对上述群体的感知影响相关,以及比较引用率。[…]

RESULTS
结果

The use of cross-disciplinary terminology in conservation literature has increased dramatically since the late 1990s […]. Of the 96 papers considered and originally classified by authors, 35.4% had been classed as multidisciplinary, 53.1% as interdisciplinary, 5.2% as transdisciplinary and 6.3% had confused terms and defined their work as both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary.

What are the impacts of a cross-disciplinary research approach on colleagues and practitioners?
跨学科研究方法对同事和从业者有什么影响?

We found a significant difference between type of crossdisciplinarity and impact on colleagues (χ2 = 17.11, df =6, p = 0.09) and practitioners (χ2 = 20.64 df = 9, p =0.01). Transdisciplinary papers, as redefined, were perceived by authors to have the lowest impact on colleagues, while papers which were non cross-disciplinary were perceived to have the highest impact (see Table 2). Authors’ perceptions of their impacts on colleagues were confirmed by bibliometric analysis comparing the average number of citations per year for each paper (m). We found that transdisciplinary papers (m = 1.5) generated significantly fewer citations per year than those which were non cross-disciplinary (m = 3.9) (χ2 = 12.11, df = 1, p < 0.001). We found transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary papers to involve significantly more public participation than multidisciplinary and non crossdisciplinary papers (χ2 = 47.42, df = 3, p < 0.001). Authors’ perceptions of their papers’ impacts on practitioners, suggested that transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary papers had a higher impact on practitioners than papers that were multidisciplinary or non cross-disciplinary (Table 2). Although this was more difficult to validate, we evaluated author perception of practitioner impact via web citations of papers. We found that transdisciplinary papers (m = 1.4) generated significantly more web citations than those that were non cross-disciplinary (m = 0.15) (χ2 = 25.09, df = 1, p <0.001).
我们发现跨学科类型和对同事(χ2 = 17.11,df =6,p = 0.09)和从业者(χ2 = 20.64,df = 9,p =0.01)的影响之间存在显着差异。重新定义的跨学科论文被作者认为对同事的影响最小,而非跨学科的论文被认为影响最大(见表2)。通过文献计量分析比较每篇论文每年的平均引用次数(m),证实了作者对自己对同事影响的看法。我们发现,跨学科论文(m = 1.5)每年产生的引用量明显少于非跨学科论文(m = 3.9)(χ2 = 12.11,df = 1,p < 0.001)。我们发现跨学科和跨学科论文比多学科和非跨学科论文更多地涉及公众参与(χ2 = 47.42,df = 3,p < 0.001)。作者对其论文对从业者影响的看法表明,跨学科和跨学科的论文对从业者的影响高于多学科或非跨学科的论文(表2)。尽管这更难验证,但我们通过网络引用论文评估了作者对从业者影响的看法。我们发现,跨学科论文(m = 1.4)比非跨学科论文(m = 0.15)产生的网络引用量明显更多(χ2 = 25.09,df = 1,p <0.001)。

The results suggest that research which gains recognition from peers does not necessarily have a strong impact on practice, and vice versa.
结果表明,获得同行认可的研究并不一定对实践产生强烈影响,反之亦然。

DISCUSSION

[…]

What are the impacts of a cross-disciplinary research approach on colleagues and practitioners?
跨学科研究方法对同事和从业者有什么影响?

[…] Our results indicate that studies that were transdisciplinary were perceived by their authors to have the highest impact on practitioners and had more associated web citations, suggesting that the impact of transdisciplinary papers transcends academia and reaches a wider audience.
[…]我们的结果表明,跨学科的研究被其作者认为对从业者的影响最大,并且有更多的相关网络引用,这表明跨学科论文的影响超越了学术界,并接触到了更广泛的受众。

In attempting to evaluate the potential impact of cross-disciplinary research on practitioners, we found a direct link between public participation in the research process (transdisciplinary or interdisciplinary studies) and an increased impact of interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary studies on practitioners. In order for research to have any real impact on solving environmental problems, it must be accessible to practitioners (Fazey et al. 2004; Pullin et al. 2004). However, current studies show that research is time-consuming to locate, access and read (Pullin et al. 2004). If accessed by practitioners, academic papers may already be outdated (considering that publication of conservation research typically takes 3.9±0.13 years following the last year of data collection; Fazey et al. 2004) and may not be relevant to management (Kareiva et al. 2002; Fazey et al. 2005b). Our results indicate that when practitioners take a more active role in the research process, research is more accessible and practitioners are more likely to use the research and adapt their management strategies accordingly.
在试图评估跨学科研究对从业者的潜在影响时,我们发现公众参与研究过程(跨学科或跨学科研究)与跨学科或跨学科研究对从业者的影响增加之间存在直接联系。为了使研究对解决环境问题产生任何真正的影响,它必须为从业者所接受(Fazey 等人,2004 年;Pullin 等人,2004 年)。然而,目前的研究表明,研究的定位、访问和阅读非常耗时(Pullin 等人,2004 年)。如果从业者访问,学术论文可能已经过时(考虑到保护研究的发表通常需要在数据收集的最后一年后的 3.9±0.13 年;Fazey 等人,2004 年),可能与管理无关(Kareiva 等人,2002 年;Fazey 等人,2005b)。我们的研究结果表明,当从业者在研究过程中发挥更积极的作用时,研究更容易获得,从业者更有可能使用研究并相应地调整他们的管理策略。

Ways forward for cross-disciplinary research
跨学科研究的未来路向

Academics are responding to the calls for greater crossdisciplinary collaboration but, with the exception of a few studies, much of the current research falls short of integrating disciplinary methods at any depth or involving participants outside of academia. This paper therefore suggests: […]
学术界正在响应加强跨学科合作的呼吁,但除了少数研究外,目前的大部分研究都没有深入整合学科方法,也没有让学术界以外的参与者参与进来。因此,本文建议:[...]

Greater incentives be put in place to encourage cross-disciplinary research where it is thought to be important (for example for conservation, development and education.).
应制定更大的激励措施,鼓励在被认为重要的领域(例如保护、发展和教育)开展跨学科研究。

Teaching of cross-disciplinary courses be encouraged within universities, as well as greater collaboration between university departments, as a means to facilitate the dissolution of rigid university structures. Curriculum reform at the University of Aberdeen (UK) and University of Melbourne (Australia) has already begun to address such issues for undergraduates. For example, at the University of Aberdeen, the sixth-century courses (6CCs) are specifically designed to consider and contrast different approaches to knowledge and different methods of enquiry with a focus on building students’ skills in examining real-world problems. In the University of St Andrews (UK), the sustainable development undergraduate programme similarly draws on interdisciplinary modules, with the aim of providing students with the higher-order critical thinking skills and flexible epistemological thinking necessary to address complex sustainability-related issues. This also requires staff to engage more deeply in addressing different epistemological and
应鼓励在大学内部教授跨学科课程,并加强大学各部门之间的合作,以此作为促进解散僵化大学结构的手段。阿伯丁大学(英国)和墨尔本大学(澳大利亚)的课程改革已经开始为本科生解决这些问题。例如,在阿伯丁大学,六世纪的课程(6CCs)专门设计用于考虑和对比不同的知识方法和不同的探究方法,重点是培养学生研究现实世界问题的技能。在圣安德鲁斯大学(英国),可持续发展本科课程同样借鉴了跨学科模块,旨在为学生提供解决复杂的可持续发展相关问题所必需的高阶批判性思维技能和灵活的认识论思维。这也要求工作人员更深入地参与解决不同的认识论和

CONCLUSIONS
结论

As more complex cross-disciplinary projects are initiated, with ever increasing numbers of researchers, the need to address the challenges put forward in this paper becomes more pressing. Despite the early recognition of the need for cross-disciplinary research in conservation (Soulé 1985; Jacobson & Robinson 1990), there has been relatively little progress towards true integration. While cross-disciplinary research may improve understanding of complex systems and problems, it is important that cross-disciplinary research becomes better defined to enable its evaluation, and its likely demonstrable impact on practitioners. Such evaluation is imperative to justify the extra time it takes to establish an effective cross-disciplinary working team as compared with traditional collaboration within disciplines. Although explicitly defining cross-disciplinary research approaches may advance the efficiency and effectiveness of cross-disciplinary research, significant challenges associated with integrating philosophical and epistemological perspectives, world views and terminologies must be addressed (Evely et al. 2008; Miller et al. 2008).
随着更复杂的跨学科项目的启动,随着研究人员数量的不断增加,解决本文提出的挑战的需求变得更加迫切。尽管很早就认识到在保护方面进行跨学科研究的必要性(Soulé 1985;雅各布森和罗宾逊,1990),在真正整合方面进展相对较小。虽然跨学科研究可以提高对复杂系统和问题的理解,但重要的是,跨学科研究必须得到更好的定义,以便能够进行评估,并可能对从业者产生明显的影响。与传统的学科合作相比,这种评估对于建立有效的跨学科工作团队所需的额外时间是必要的。尽管明确定义跨学科研究方法可能会提高跨学科研究的效率和有效性,但必须解决与整合哲学和认识论观点、世界观和术语相关的重大挑战(Evely et al. 2008;Miller 等人,2008 年)。

What do the humanities have to do with the environment? As they are commonly understood, environmental problems are issues that manifest themselves primarily in the environment itself. Natural scientists research these problems and suggest solutions, aided by technology, economics, and policy; it was bioscientists who defined the modern usage of the concept of the environment after World War II. Ecologist William Vogt famously used it in his 1948 volume The Road to Survival: “We live in one world in an ecological—an environmental—sense.” He and others at the time thought of the environment as a composite of issues that had been in the making for some time— most prominently, population growth, which had been much discussed since the World Population Conference in Geneva in 1927, but also soil erosion, desertification (observed by Paul Sears in his famous 1935 book, Deserts on the March), pollution, food, poverty, and starvation.
人文学科与环境有什么关系?正如人们通常所理解的那样,环境问题是主要表现在环境本身的问题。自然科学家在技术、经济和政策的帮助下研究这些问题并提出解决方案;二战后,正是生物科学家定义了环境概念的现代用法。生态学家威廉·沃格特(William Vogt)在他1948年出版的《生存之路》(The Road to Survival)一书中说过一句名言:“我们生活在一个生态——环境——意义上的世界。他和其他人当时认为环境是一系列问题的综合问题,这些问题已经酝酿了一段时间,其中最突出的是人口增长,自1927年在日内瓦举行的世界人口会议以来,这个问题一直被广泛讨论,但也有水土流失、荒漠化(保罗·西尔斯在他1935年的著名著作中观察到, 行军中的沙漠)、污染、食物、贫困和饥饿。

In the public’s mind, environmentalism is still connected with the 1960s, from Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) to the foundation of the US Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day in 1970, but in reality, its start was earlier, and humanist thinkers were deeply part of the first phase of the environmental revolution. In France, a cohort of eminent historians started the journal Annales d’histoire économique et sociale in 1929, which became an outlet for a take on history as an interaction of humans with physical geographies. Aldo Leopold was as much a philosopher as an ecologist when he developed his concept of a land ethic in A Sand County Almanac (1949). When the important Princeton conference on “The Earth as transformed by human action” took place in 1955, Lewis Mumford, the planner and urban historian, was a notable speaker.
在大众心目中,环保主义还是与1960年代联系在一起的,从瑞秋·卡森的《寂静的春天》(1962)到1970年美国环境保护署和地球日的成立,但实际上,它的起步更早,人文主义思想家们深深地参与了环境革命的第一阶段。在法国,一群杰出的历史学家于 1929 年创办了《经济与社会历史年鉴》杂志,该杂志成为将历史视为人类与自然地理学互动的渠道。奥尔多·利奥波德(Aldo Leopold)在《沙县年鉴》(1949年)中提出了自己的土地伦理概念,既是哲学家又是生态学家。1955年,当普林斯顿大学召开关于“人类行动改变的地球”的重要会议时,规划师和城市历史学家刘易斯·芒福德(Lewis Mumford)是一位著名的演讲者。

However, the humanities presence faded quickly, and for half a century, there were few humanities scholars at the top levels of environmental science planning and as policy advisers. They themselves commonly accepted the outsider role.
然而,人文学科的存在很快就消失了,半个世纪以来,很少有人文学科在环境科学规划的高层和政策顾问担任。他们自己普遍接受了局外人的角色。

Now we seem to be in for a change. The background is the current inadequacy of the established science, policy, and economics approaches. In fact, despite all our efforts, most indicators of our future point in the wrong direction. As some of us, members of a team led by ecologist Johan Rockström, discussed in an article in Nature (2009, doi:10.1038/461472a), humanity is rapidly transgressing a set of planetary boundaries, including atmospheric carbon dioxide, biodiversity loss, and ocean acidity. We face both local and global coupled multiscalar crises of geopolitical instability, resource scarcity, economic collapse.
现在我们似乎要做出改变了。其背景是目前已建立的科学、政策和经济学方法的不足。事实上,尽管我们付出了所有努力,但大多数关于我们未来的指标都指向了错误的方向。正如我们中的一些人,由生态学家约翰·罗克斯特伦(Johan Rockström)领导的团队成员在《自然》(Nature 2009, doi:10.1038/461472a)上的一篇文章中所讨论的那样,人类正在迅速超越一系列地球边界,包括大气中的二氧化碳、生物多样性的丧失和海洋酸度。我们面临着地缘政治不稳定、资源稀缺、经济崩溃等地方性和全球性的多尺度危机。

Our belief that science alone could deliver us from the planetary quagmire is long dead. For some time, hopes were high for economics and incentive-driven new public management solutions. However, after the 20 years since the Rio Conference in 1992 of focusing policies on what Maarten
我们坚信只有科学才能将我们从地球的泥潭中解救出来,这种信念早已不复存在。一段时间以来,人们对经济学和激励驱动的新公共管理解决方案寄予厚望。然而,自1992年里约会议以来的20年之后,将政策重点放在什么上 马丁岛

A. Hajer in The Politics of Ecological Discourse (1995) termed ecological modernization, including
A. Hajer在《生态话语的政治》(1995)中将生态现代化称为生态现代化,包括

efforts for green and clean growth, ecoefficiency, decoupling, and the ever more sophisticated management of landscapes and species, the world seems to have come to a point where we must again determine pathways to sustainability.
在努力实现绿色和清洁增长、生态效率、脱钩以及对景观和物种进行越来越复杂的管理方面,世界似乎已经到了必须再次确定可持续发展途径的地步。

It seems this time that our hopes are tied to the humanities. In February 2012, the Responses to Environmental and Societal Challenges for Our Unstable Earth (RESCUE) initiative, commissioned by the European Science Foundation and Europe’s intergovernmental Cooperation in Science and Technology program, presented its synthesis report. It gives a high profile to the humanities, arguing that in a world where cultural values, political and religious ideas, and deep-seated human behaviors still rule the way people lead their lives, produce, and consume, the idea of environmentally relevant knowledge must change. We cannot dream of sustainability unless we start to pay more attention to the human agents of the planetary pressure that environmental experts are masters at measuring but that they seem unable to prevent.
这一次,我们的希望似乎与人文学科联系在一起。2012 年 2 月,受欧洲科学基金会和欧洲政府间科技合作计划委托的“应对不稳定地球的环境和社会挑战”(RESCUE) 倡议提交了综合报告。它高度重视人文学科,认为在一个文化价值观、政治和宗教观念以及根深蒂固的人类行为仍然主导着人们生活、生产和消费方式的世界里,环境相关知识的观念必须改变。除非我们开始更多地关注地球压力的人类因素,否则我们就无法梦想可持续性,环境专家是测量这些压力的大师,但他们似乎无法预防。

Some of the shift toward the human sciences has to do with the fundamental shift in understanding that is represented by the Anthropocene concept, coined by Crutzen and Stoermer in 2000 (Global Change Newsletter 41: 17–18). If humanity is the chief cause of the ominous change, it must surely be inevitable that research and policy will be focused on human societies and their basic functions. After half a century of putting nature first, it may be time to put humans first. Some members of the RESCUE team have moved further and are publishing a lead article titled “Reconceptualizing the ‘Anthropos’ in the Anthropocene” for a special issue of Environment and Science Policy due out later this year.
向人文科学的一些转变与理解的根本转变有关,这种转变是由 Crutzen 和 Stoermer 于 2000 年创造的人类世概念所代表的(全球变化通讯 41:17-18)。如果人类是这场不祥变化的主要原因,那么研究和政策将不可避免地集中在人类社会及其基本功能上。在半个世纪以来,人们始终坚持将自然放在首位,现在可能是时候把人类放在首位了。RESCUE团队的一些成员更进一步,正在为今年晚些时候出版的《环境与科学政策》特刊发表一篇题为“重新概念化人类世中的'人类'”的主要文章。

Other initiatives point in the same direction. Considerable energies are going into the emerging concept of environmental humanities. This is a broad multidisciplinary approach that signals a new willingness in the humanities to forgo the primary focus on disciplines (as in, e.g., environmental philosophy, environmental history) for a common effort in which the relevance of human action is on par with the environmental aspect. Programs for the environmental humanities have already started to emerge in universities in Europe, Australia, and the United States, including at Stanford. The Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI), an assembly of more than 70 humanities centers worldwide, has its own Initiative Humanities for the Environment, which “serves as a network and resource for centers to develop (or extend) programming, research, and dialogue related to contemporary environmental challenges” (http://initiatives.chcinetwork. org/environment). The Transatlantic Environmental Research Network in Environmental Humanities links several universities in the United States and Canada with primarily German counterparts, including the recently set up Rachel Carson Center in Munich. Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study has devoted 2013 and 2014 to the environmental humanities as their chosen thematic field.
其他举措也指向了同样的方向。相当多的精力正在投入到新兴的环境人文学科概念中。这是一种广泛的多学科方法,标志着人文学科的新意愿,即放弃对学科(如环境哲学、环境史)的主要关注,转而共同努力,将人类行动的相关性与环境方面相提并论。环境人文学科的项目已经开始在欧洲、澳大利亚和美国的大学中出现,包括斯坦福大学。人文中心和研究所联盟 (CHCI) 由全球 70 多个人文中心组成,拥有自己的人文环境倡议,该倡议“作为中心开发(或扩展)与当代环境挑战相关的计划、研究和对话的网络和资源”(http://initiatives.chcinetwork org/environment)。跨大西洋环境人文学科环境研究网络(Transatlantic Environmental Research Network in Environmental Humanities)将美国和加拿大的几所大学与主要由德国的大学联系起来,其中包括最近在慕尼黑成立的雷切尔·卡森中心(Rachel Carson Center)。普林斯顿大学高等研究院(Institute for Advanced Study)在2013年和2014年将环境人文学科作为他们选择的主题领域。

A new journal, Environmental Humanities, will be launched this November; it is based at the University of New South Wales, where there is also an interdisciplinary environmental humanities program. Several scholarly environmental humanities networks are active in Scandinavia, and some of their work will appear a new volume, Defining the Environmental Humanities, derived from a recent conference in Sweden. After decades of very little interest in funding large-scale environmental work
一本新期刊《环境人文》将于今年11月推出;它位于新南威尔士大学,那里还有一个跨学科的环境人文学科项目。几个学术环境人文学科网络在斯堪的纳维亚半岛很活跃,他们的一些工作将出版一本新书《定义环境人文学科》,该书源自最近在瑞典举行的一次会议。几十年来,人们对资助大规模的环境工作几乎没有兴趣

in the humanities, funders have started to invite experts on human values, ideas, history, thinking, religion, and communication to bring their knowledge to bear on critical global issues. Norway has started the Cultural Conditions Underlying Social Change program. Among its highest-priority areas of interest are the environment and climate change.
在人文学科方面,资助者已经开始邀请人类价值观、思想、历史、思维、宗教和传播方面的专家,将他们的知识应用于关键的全球问题。挪威已经启动了“社会变革背后的文化条件”计划。其最优先关注的领域是环境和气候变化。

Some of the most remarkable work on the environment in recent years has already been carried out by humanities scholars. Lawrence Buell at Harvard sparked off the ecocritical movement in literary studies from the 1990s with a string of books, including his Writing for an Endangered World (2001). His colleague Ursula K. Heise at Stanford articulated the emerging idea of a global humanity with a planetary conscience in her book Sense of Place and Sense of Planet (2008). If this is an emerging idea, the outlook in a few generations may in fact be brighter than we think.
近年来,一些人文学者在环境方面所做的一些最引人注目的工作已经开展。哈佛大学的劳伦斯·布尔(Lawrence Buell)从1990年代开始通过一系列书籍引发了文学研究中的生态批评运动,包括他的《为濒危世界写作》(2001年)。他在斯坦福大学的同事乌尔苏拉·海斯(Ursula K. Heise)在她的著作《地方感和行星感》(Sense of Place and Sense of Planet,2008年)中阐述了具有地球良知的全球人类这一新兴理念。如果这是一个新兴的想法,那么几代人的前景实际上可能比我们想象的要光明。

In France, superstar sociologist–philosopher Bruno Latour is currently reconfiguring his country’s leading policy school, the Sciences Po, putting his ideas of a major environmental turn of the planetary enterprise at center stage. At the Science Policy Research department at the University of Sussex, Andy Stirling has invited us to consider what he calls directionality as we conceive research policy for economic growth in order to achieve real progress, not just more of the same destructive kind of growth. Literary scholar Rob Nixon at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, argues that a “slow violence” (part of the title of his 2011 book, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor) plagues the poorest people on Earth, who shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden when the rich outsource their ecological footprint—dumping waste, axing forests, or relocating dangerous workplaces.
在法国,超级明星社会学家兼哲学家布鲁诺·拉图尔(Bruno Latour)目前正在重组该国领先的政策学院——巴黎政治学院(Sciences Po),将他关于地球事业重大环境转变的想法置于中心位置。在萨塞克斯大学(University of Sussex)的科学政策研究系,安迪·斯特林(Andy Stirling)邀请我们考虑他所谓的方向性,因为我们构思经济增长的研究政策,以便取得真正的进步,而不仅仅是更多的破坏性增长。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(University of Wisconsin–Madison)的文学学者罗伯·尼克松(Rob Nixon)认为,“慢暴力”(他2011年出版的《慢暴力和穷人的环保主义》一书的书名之一)困扰着地球上最贫穷的人,当富人将他们的生态足迹外包出去时,他们承担了不成比例的负担——倾倒废物、砍伐森林、 或搬迁危险的工作场所。

Environmentally aware humanities scholars have already begun to challenge established truths. Although ecologists and economists have put considerable hope over the last two decades into the idea that we may be able to defend ecosystem services by translating them into monetary terms, several humanities scholars (in alliance with many skeptical scientists) have presented fundamental criticism of this approach. Uncritically applying the indiscriminately universalizing tool of monetized services risks doing more harm than good to the environment. In particular, it runs the risk of marginalizing social groups—and, therefore, civic values—as they try to articulate value-based agendas for defending nature and urban space.
具有环保意识的人文学者已经开始挑战既定的真理。尽管生态学家和经济学家在过去二十年中对这样一种观点寄予了相当大的希望,即我们可以通过将其转化为货币术语来保护生态系统服务,但一些人文学者(与许多持怀疑态度的科学家结盟)对这种方法提出了根本性的批评。不加批判地应用不加区别地普及货币化服务工具,可能会对环境造成弊大于利。特别是,它冒着将社会群体边缘化的风险,因此也面临着边缘化公民价值观的风险,因为他们试图阐明基于价值的议程来保护自然和城市空间。

The arrival of humanists to the environmental enterprise should be welcomed. It will mean new opportunities for bioscientists to collaborate with those in the humanities and vice versa, as is already the case in the deeply transnational International Geosphere– Biosphere Programme’s Integrated History and Future of People on Earth (IHOPE). It will mean deeper reflexivity and an increased competition of ideas and perspectives. It will also bring a sense of realism back to our work for the environment and sustainability. When even humanists have come to the point at which they consider the environment (almost) as important as people, there may—malgré tout—be reason for hope.
人文主义者加入环境事业应该受到欢迎。这将意味着生物科学家与人文学科的人合作的新机会,反之亦然,正如深度跨国的国际地圈-生物圈计划的地球人类综合历史和未来(IHOPE)中的情况一样。这将意味着更深层次的反身性和思想和观点的竞争加剧。它还将为我们在环境和可持续性方面的工作带来现实主义的感觉。当即使是人文主义者也认为环境(几乎)与人一样重要时,也许有理由抱有希望。

Welcome to the first volume of this new, international, open-access journal. Environmental Humanities aims to support and further a wide range of conversations on environmental issues in this time of growing awareness of the ecological and social challenges facing all life on earth. The field of environmental humanities is growing rapidly, both in research and teaching. In just the past few years, a number of research centres and undergraduate and postgraduate programs have emerged at universities all around the world: in the USA, the UK, Scandinavia, Taiwan and Australia, to name just a few places. In each area, this broad domain of scholarship is being taken up and developed in a distinct way.1 In general, however, the environmental humanities can be understood to be a wide ranging response to the environmental challenges of our time. Drawing on humanities and social science disciplines that have brought qualitative analysis to bear on environmental issues, the environmental humanities engages with fundamental questions of meaning, value, responsibility and purpose in a time of rapid, and escalating, change.
欢迎阅读这本新的、国际性的、开放获取的期刊的第一卷。环境人文学科旨在支持和促进关于环境问题的广泛对话,在这个时代,人们越来越意识到地球上所有生命面临的生态和社会挑战。环境人文学科领域在研究和教学方面都在迅速发展。在过去的几年里,世界各地的大学都出现了许多研究中心、本科生和研究生课程:美国、英国、斯堪的纳维亚半岛、台湾和澳大利亚,仅举几例。1然而,总的来说,环境人文学科可以被理解为对我们这个时代的环境挑战的广泛回应。环境人文学科借鉴了对环境问题进行定性分析的人文学科和社会科学学科,在快速和不断升级的变化时代,环境人文学科涉及意义、价值、责任和目的等基本问题。

The emergence of the environmental humanities is part of a growing willingness to engage with the environment from within the humanities and social sciences. While historically both fields have focused on ‘the human’ in a way that has often excluded or backgrounded the non-human world, since the 1960s, interest in environmental issues has gradually gained pace within disciplines, giving us, for example, strong research agendas in environmental history, environmental philosophy, environmental anthropology and sociology, political ecology, posthuman geographies and ecocriticism (among others). Indeed, in many of these fields, what have traditionally been termed ‘environmental issues’ have been shown to be inescapably entangled with human ways of being in the world, and broader questions of politics and social justice.
环境人文学科的出现是人们越来越愿意从人文和社会科学内部与环境接触的一部分。虽然从历史上看,这两个领域都以一种经常排除或背景非人类世界的方式关注“人类”,但自 1960 年代以来,学科内部对环境问题的兴趣逐渐加快,例如,为我们提供了环境史、环境哲学、环境人类学和社会学、政治生态学、后人类地理学和生态批评等方面的强大研究议程。事实上,在许多这些领域中,传统上被称为“环境问题”的问题已被证明与人类在世界上的生活方式以及更广泛的政治和社会正义问题不可避免地纠缠在一起。

But recent interest in the environmental humanities, as a field and a label, is a result of something more than the growth of work within a range of distinct disciplinary areas. Rather, the emergence of the environmental humanities indicates a renewed emphasis on bringing various approaches to environmental scholarship into conversation with each other in numerous and diverse ways.
但是,最近对环境人文学科的兴趣,作为一个领域和一个标签,不仅仅是由于在一系列不同学科领域的工作增长。相反,环境人文学科的出现表明,人们重新强调将各种环境学术方法以多种多样的方式相互对话。

In general terms, the approaches coalescing under the banner of the environmental humanities have explicitly rejected the way in which humanities work on the environment has frequently been cast as ‘non-science’, with the primary role of mediating between the natural sciences and ‘the public’. In addition, work in the environmental humanities has tended to eschew the focus of many of the approaches that have dominated the political uptake of social science and humanities scholarship on the environment that have their grounding in behavioural economics and cognitive psychology. As is increasingly being shown, at the core of these approaches is an impoverished and narrow conceptualisation of human agency, social and cultural formation, social change and the entangled relations between human and nonhuman worlds.2
一般而言,在环境人文学科的旗帜下融合的方法明确拒绝了人文学科对环境的研究方式,这种方式经常被塑造成“非科学”的,其主要作用是在自然科学和“公众”之间起中介作用。此外,环境人文学科的工作往往回避了许多方法的重点,这些方法在政治上主导了社会科学和人文学科的环境学术研究,这些研究以行为经济学和认知心理学为基础。正如越来越多的人所表明的那样,这些方法的核心是对人类能动性、社会和文化形成、社会变革以及人类与非人类世界之间纠缠不清的关系的贫乏和狭隘的概念化2。

Given this backdrop, the need for a more integrated and conceptually sensitive approach to environmental issues is being increasingly recognised across the humanities and the social and environmental sciences.3 The development of the environmental humanities might therefore be understood as a response to this need; an effort to enrich environmental research with a more extensive conceptual vocabulary, whilst at the same time vitalising the humanities by rethinking the ontological exceptionality of the human.
鉴于这种背景,在人文学科、社会科学和环境科学领域,人们越来越认识到需要对环境问题采取更加综合和概念敏感的方法。努力用更广泛的概念词汇丰富环境研究,同时通过重新思考人类的本体论特殊性来振兴人文学科。

The humanities have traditionally worked with questions of meaning, value, ethics, justice and the politics of knowledge production. In bringing these questions into environmental domains, we are able to articulate a ‘thicker’ notion of humanity, one that rejects reductionist accounts of self-contained, rational, decision making subjects. Rather, the environmental humanities positions us as participants in lively ecologies of meaning and value, entangled within rich patterns of cultural and historical diversity that shape who we are and the ways in which we are able to ‘become with’ others.4 At the core of this approach is a focus on the underlying cultural and philosophical frameworks that are entangled with the ways in which diverse human cultures have made themselves at home in a more than human world. In short, there is now a recognition that the whole world, at all scales, is a ‘contact zone’.5 The deepening environmental and social crises of our time are unfolding in this zone where the nature/culture divide collapses and the possibilities of life and death for everyone are at stake.
传统上,人文学科一直在处理意义、价值、伦理、正义和知识生产的政治问题。在将这些问题带入环境领域时,我们能够阐明一种“更厚重”的人性概念,一种拒绝对自足的、理性的、决策主体的简化主义描述的概念。相反,环境人文学科将我们定位为意义和价值的生动生态的参与者,纠缠在丰富的文化和历史多样性模式中,这些模式塑造了我们是谁以及我们能够与他人“成为”的方式.4 这种方法的核心是关注潜在的文化和哲学框架,这些框架与不同的人类文化在社区中融入家园的方式纠缠在一起。不仅仅是人类世界。简言之,现在人们已经认识到,整个世界,无论规模如何,都是一个“接触区”.5 我们这个时代日益加深的环境和社会危机正在这个区域展开,在这个区域,自然/文化鸿沟崩溃,每个人的生死可能性都处于危险之中。

Abstract
抽象

Background: The conceptions that children develop about environmental issues are likely to form the basis of how they comprehend such issues, influence their behaviour towards the environment and, ultimately, determine the way they address these issues. Being aware of children’s ways of thinking about the environment is, therefore, of paramount importance if educators are to provide effective and efficient teaching in this field of increasing global significance.
背景:儿童对环境问题形成的观念可能构成他们如何理解这些问题的基础,影响他们对环境的行为,并最终决定他们解决这些问题的方式。因此,如果教育工作者要在这个具有日益全球重要性的领域提供有效和高效的教学,那么了解儿童对环境的思考方式就至关重要。

Purpose: This paper presents an explorative study which sets out to identify the dominant conceptions held by a sample of 9-year-old students in relation to addressing, both collectively and individually, two environmental issues, namely forest destruction and waste.
目的:本文提出了一项探索性研究,旨在确定 9 岁学生样本在集体和个人解决两个环境问题(即森林破坏和浪费)方面所持有的主导观念。

Sample: The sample comprised 30 9-year-old students (15 boys and 15 girls), from 2 state primary schools with diverse socio-economic student populations, in a provincial city in central Greece.
样本:样本包括 30 名 9 岁学生(15 名男生和 15 名女生),他们来自希腊中部一个省级城市的 2 所公立小学,这些学校具有不同的社会经济学生群体。

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The interviews were analysed qualitatively, using a thematic approach.
方法:采用半结构化访谈法收集资料。采用主题方法对访谈进行了定性分析。

Results: Findings suggested that children’s conceptions about how to address environmental problems could be grouped into two broad conceptions: the first concerned proposing ‘direct actions’ for the short-term addressing of the problems, whereas the second related to a proactive approach for addressing the problem in the longer term, with an emphasis on sustainability. Furthermore, there seemed to be connections evident between the children’s conceptions in terms of their personal contributions and the thoughts they held about collective actions.
结果:研究结果表明,儿童关于如何解决环境问题的观念可分为两大类:前一种概念涉及提出短期解决问题的“直接行动”,而第二种概念则涉及在长期内解决问题的积极方法,重点是可持续性。此外,就他们的个人贡献而言,儿童的观念与他们对集体行动所持的思想之间似乎存在着明显的联系。

Conclusions: This study offers insights into children’s approaches to addressing the problems of forest destruction and waste. It was evident that the children believed that they could address the problems by applying whatever methods they are aware of. We argue that this suggests that an action-oriented and problem-solving strategy towards education would be beneficial. A transformative approach is suggested as an effective technique, drawing on hands-on, experiential and project-based activities, so that children can be educated with the aim of becoming competent at making decisions themselves and taking action as active participants and change agents for sustainability.
结论:这项研究为儿童解决森林破坏和浪费问题的方法提供了见解。显然,这些儿童相信他们可以通过采用他们所知道的任何方法来解决问题。我们认为,这表明以行动为导向和解决问题的教育策略将是有益的。建议将变革性方法作为一种有效的技术,利用实践、体验和基于项目的活动,以便儿童能够接受教育,目的是成为自己做出决定的能力,并作为积极的参与者和可持续性的变革推动者采取行动。

Introduction
介绍

It is acknowledged that a sustainable future cannot be achieved solely through political agreements, technological solutions and economic incentives (Fien 2004). Indeed, it requires changes in the way people think and act, and education can play a key role in bringing about this change (UNESCO 2013). ‘Education can empower children, youth, and adults to take action at a local, national and global level and cooperate in meeting current and emerging challenges in an increasingly interconnected world’ UNESCO 2014, 45).
人们认识到,仅靠政治协议、技术解决方案和经济激励措施是无法实现可持续未来的(Fien 2004)。事实上,它需要改变人们的思维和行为方式,而教育可以在实现这种变化方面发挥关键作用(UNESCO 2013)。“教育可以增强儿童、青年和成人的权能,使其在地方、国家和全球层面采取行动,并在日益相互联系的世界中合作应对当前和正在出现的挑战”,教科文组织,2014年,第45页)。

It follows that schools, then, should have a substantial contribution to make: appropriate teaching strategies to equip students with skills such as agency, critical thinking, action taking and problem-solving would empower children to act as agents of change, proactively tackling environmental issues. (Stuhmcke 2012, 34).
因此,学校应该做出重大贡献:适当的教学策略使学生具备能动性、批判性思维、采取行动和解决问题等技能,这将使儿童能够成为变革的推动者,积极解决环境问题。(Stuhmcke 2012,34)。

If we consider that students’ mental models can shape the ways in which they solve problems (Halford 2014), it is essential for teachers to be aware of them so they can support children’s constructions of environmental knowledge and problem-solving skills accordingly (Shepardson et al. 2007). Any accomplishments in environmental education can have a direct as well as an indirect impact, whether the actions are collective or are executed as individuals. (Jensen 2002, 326; Jensen and Schnack 2006). In this study, we refer to the notion of ‘direct action’ as being an instant and short-term solution to an environmental problem, whereas ‘indirect action’ is considered to be a longer term addressing of the problem aimed at inhibiting the recurrence of the problem.
如果我们考虑到学生的心智模型可以塑造他们解决问题的方式(Halford 2014),那么教师必须意识到它们,以便他们能够相应地支持儿童对环境知识和解决问题技能的构建(Shepardson et al. 2007)。环境教育方面的任何成就都可能产生直接和间接的影响,无论这些行动是集体的还是作为个人执行的。(Jensen 2002, 326;Jensen 和 Schnack 2006)。在这项研究中,我们将“直接行动”的概念称为环境问题的即时和短期解决方案,而“间接行动”则被认为是旨在抑制问题再次发生的问题的长期解决。

In a review of the literature, Rickinson (2001) highlighted a limited number of studies focusing on students’ mental models of the environment, with the existing body of research in environmental education focusing on students’ factual knowledge about environmental issues. It is important that research in environmental education is conducted with the aim of identifying students’ mental models about various aspects of the environment (Payne 1998), as the conceptions held by students might shape the ways in which they understand environmental issues, guide their environmental behaviours (Loughland, Reid, and Petocz 2002; Rickinson 2001; Shepardson et al. 2007), and influence the way they solve these issues (Halford 2014). Wood and Walton (1990) strongly believe many environmental problems remain unsolved because people are unaware of these issues or they cannot provide a solution. Thus, we believe that it is helpful for educators to be aware of students’ mental models of environmental issues and how the students themselves think they could address them: this knowledge may prove useful in better curricular planning and more effective instructional design, which ultimately enhances curricular continuity (Driver et al.
在对文献的回顾中,Rickinson(2001)强调了数量有限的研究,这些研究侧重于学生对环境的心智模型,而现有的环境教育研究机构则侧重于学生对环境问题的事实知识。重要的是,环境教育研究的目的是确定学生对环境各个方面的心智模型(Payne 1998),因为学生所持有的观念可能会影响他们理解环境问题的方式,指导他们的环境行为(Loughland, Reid, and Petocz 2002;里金森 2001;Shepardson 等人,2007 年),并影响他们解决这些问题的方式(Halford 2014 年)。Wood和Walton(1990)坚信,许多环境问题仍未得到解决,因为人们没有意识到这些问题,或者他们无法提供解决方案。因此,我们认为,对于教育工作者来说,了解学生对环境问题的心理模型以及学生自己认为他们可以如何解决这些问题是有帮助的:这些知识可能有助于更好的课程规划和更有效的教学设计,最终提高课程的连续性(Driver et al.

1994).

With this background in mind, the present study aims to illustrate students’ mental models of collective and personal ways of addressing the specific environmental issues of forest destruction and waste.
考虑到这一背景,本研究旨在说明学生解决森林破坏和浪费等具体环境问题的集体和个人方式的心智模型。

Literature review
文献综述

Children’s thinking about environmental issues
儿童对环境问题的思考

There are some insightful studies of young children’s conceptions of the environment and environmental issues: for instance, some studies in environmental education have investigated children’s conceptions about nature (Keliher 1997; Payne 1998) or the environment as an ecosystem (Alerby 2000; Barraza 1999; Loughland, Reid, and Petocz 2002; Shepardson et al. 2007). Some literature focuses specifically on children’s conceptions of the environmental issues of ‘forest degradation’ and ‘waste’: these areas are discussed further in the sections below.
对幼儿对环境和环境问题的概念有一些有见地的研究:例如,一些环境教育研究调查了儿童对自然的观念(Keliher,1997年;Payne 1998)或作为生态系统的环境(Alerby 2000;巴拉扎 1999;Loughland、Reid 和 Petocz 2002;Shepardson 等人,2007 年)。一些文献专门关注儿童对“森林退化”和“浪费”等环境问题的概念:以下各节将进一步讨论这些领域。

Children’s perceptions of forest degradation
儿童对森林退化的看法

Most of the studies investigating children’s understanding of forest issues have focused on children’s conceptions of forests or rainforests as ecosystems (Bowker 2007; Palmer, Suggate, and Matthews 1996; Snaddon, Turner, and Foster 2008; Strommen 1995), or of human interventions within a forest ecosystem (Ergazaki and Andriotou 2010). However, a small number of studies have investigated children’s notions of either the collective ways of addressing forest destruction or of their personal contribution to the protection of forests. A pertinent study conducted by Barraza and Pineda (2003), with 108 students aged between 12 and 16 years-old, indicated that the students suggested technical and management solutions in the case of forest rehabilitation and that conservation activities such as tree planting, tree pruning and fire prevention campaigns should be employed. Interestingly, though, they neither considered themselves as being part of the problem nor as agents of change, even though they declared willingness to participate in forest protection and rehabilitation initiatives.
调查儿童对森林问题理解情况的大多数研究都集中在儿童将森林或热带雨林视为生态系统的概念上(Bowker,2007年;Palmer、Suggate 和 Matthews 1996;Snaddon、Turner 和 Foster 2008 年;Strommen 1995),或森林生态系统内的人类干预(Ergazaki 和 Andriotou,2010 年)。然而,少数研究调查了儿童对解决森林破坏问题的集体方式或他们个人对保护森林的贡献的概念。Barraza和Pineda(2003年)对108名年龄在12至16岁之间的学生进行了一项相关研究,结果表明,这些学生在森林恢复方面提出了技术和管理解决办法,并应采取诸如植树、修剪树木和防火运动等保护活动。然而,有趣的是,尽管他们宣布愿意参与森林保护和恢复倡议,但他们既不认为自己是问题的一部分,也不认为自己是变革的推动者。

A study exploring 30 6-year-old children’s conceptions of dealing with forest destruction, both collectively (i.e. how people, in general, can address the problem) and individually (i.e. how every single child can address the problem) (Iliopoulou 2016), revealed that the children suggested mostly (17 out of 19 responses) direct/short-term actions such as extinguishing a fire once it had begun. In contrast, only five of the responses proposed proactive/indirect/long-term actions (protection, management, prohibition, punishment). In terms of the children’s personal contributions, only 12 of the participants responded. Three of the total responses suggested direct action, whereas eight of them reflected their belief
一项研究探讨了 30 名 6 岁儿童处理森林破坏的概念,包括集体(即人们通常如何解决问题)和个人(即每个儿童如何解决问题)(Iliopoulou,2016 年),发现这些儿童主要(19 个回答中的 17 个)建议采取直接/短期行动,例如在火灾发生后扑灭火灾。相比之下,只有5份答复提出了主动/间接/长期行动(保护、管理、禁止、惩罚)。就孩子们的个人贡献而言,只有12名参与者做出了回应。在所有答复中,有3份建议采取直接行动,而其中8份则反映了他们的信念

that they can contribute proactively/indirectly by protecting the forest, with one response suggesting that people should be forbidden from damaging it.
他们可以通过保护森林来积极/间接地做出贡献,其中一项回应建议应该禁止人们破坏森林。

Children’s perceptions of waste
儿童对废物的看法

Studies investigating students’ thinking about waste (Glazar, Vrtacnik, and Bacnik 1998; Grodzinska-Jurczak, Stepska, and Nieszporek 2006) indicated that some of the solutions for reducing waste that the young children suggested were direct/short-term and some were proactive/long-term, with the proactive/long-term solutions being proposed mainly by the older students (11- to 12-year-olds). More specifically, Iliopoulou’s study (2016) indicated that, of 18 6-year-olds who responded, 10 considered actions such as throwing rubbish into the bin as being a solution for waste reduction, whereas 8 referred to proactive/indirect/longterm actions such as management (6 responses) and prohibition (2 responses). The 15 the children who responded to questions related to their personal contribution to waste reduction gave the following responses: the direct action of throwing it into the bin (7 responses), a proactive/long-term action of managing the waste (7 responses) or verbal admonition or prohibition (1 response).
调查学生对废物思考的研究(Glazar、Vrtacnik 和 Bacnik 1998;Grodzinska-Jurczak、Stepska 和 Nieszporek 2006 年)指出,幼儿提出的一些减少浪费的解决方案是直接/短期的,有些是主动/长期的,其中主动/长期解决方案主要由年龄较大的学生(11 至 12 岁)提出。更具体地说,Iliopoulou的研究(2016年)表明,在18名接受调查的6岁儿童中,有10人认为将垃圾扔进垃圾桶等行动是减少浪费的解决方案,而8人则提到了主动/间接/长期行动,如管理(6次回应)和禁止(2次回应)。15名儿童在回答有关他们个人对减少废物的贡献的问题时,给出了以下回答:直接将其扔进垃圾桶(7个回答),积极/长期管理废物的行动(7个回答)或口头告诫或禁止(1个回答)。

Malandrakis (2008) investigated 173 children’s conceptions (8- to 12-year-olds) of their personal contribution to waste reduction, and found that only 12% considered that they, personally, could contribute to waste reduction: the vast majority believed that it was someone else’s responsibility (e.g. the municipality, state). Some participants (41%) suggested mainly direct actions (i.e. throwing waste into the bin, picking up rubbish) for getting involved in waste reduction efforts and only 15% mentioned recycling, 5.3% organising or participating in group actions and 3% reducing consumption as methods of substantial personal involvement. The results indicated that proactive/long-term solutions, such as recycling, were proposed mainly by the older students (11- to 12-year-olds). The younger students (up to 9-years-old), on the other hand, suggested mainly direct actions, such as throwing waste into the bin.
Malandrakis(2008年)调查了173名儿童(8至12岁)对他们个人对减少废物贡献的概念,发现只有12%的人认为他们个人可以为减少废物做出贡献:绝大多数人认为这是其他人的责任(例如市政当局,州)。部分受访者(41%)建议主要采取直接行动(即将废物扔进垃圾桶、捡垃圾)参与减少废物的工作,只有15%提到回收再造、5.3%组织或参与集体行动和3%减少消费,这些都是个人积极参与的方法。结果表明,积极/长期的解决方案,如回收利用,主要由年龄较大的学生(11至12岁)提出。另一方面,年龄较小的学生(9岁以下)主要建议采取直接行动,例如将垃圾扔进垃圾桶。

The current study: aims and purpose
当前研究:目的和目的

The present article is part of a larger research study (Iliopoulou 2011) which aimed at identifying the children’s mental models of four environmental phenomena (forest, waste production, pollution and water/energy consumption), of their associated issues (deforestation, waste management, air and sea pollution and water/energy waste), and of their collective and personal actions. The primary aim of the larger study was to understand how these mental models interrelate within each issue and also to comprehend how the suggested solutions or actions for the environmental problem may match the mental models
本文是一项更大规模的研究(Iliopoulou 2011)的一部分,该研究旨在确定儿童对四种环境现象(森林、废物产生、污染和水/能源消耗)、其相关问题(森林砍伐、废物管理、空气和海洋污染以及水/能源浪费)的心理模型,以及他们的集体和个人行动。这项更大规模研究的主要目的是了解这些心智模型如何在每个问题中相互关联,并理解环境问题的建议解决方案或行动如何与心智模型相匹配

held. The purpose of the present paper is to explore a sample of 9-year-olds’ conceptualisations of the solutions to two issues – namely, forest degradation and waste, collectively and individually. The specific issues of forest and waste were selected because they are important environmental issues which children experience in their daily life and which are included in the Greek Primary curriculum (DEPPS 2003).
举行。本文的目的是探索 9 岁儿童对两个问题(即森林退化和浪费)的集体和个人解决方案的概念化样本。之所以选择森林和废物的具体问题,是因为它们是儿童在日常生活中经历的重要环境问题,并被纳入希腊小学课程(DEPPS,2003年)。

Methodology
方法论

The research reported in this paper was guided by two questions:
本文报告的研究以两个问题为指导:

(1) What kind of solutions do children propose in relation to forest degradation and waste? (2) What do children think their contribution should be in dealing with forest degradation and waste?
(1) 儿童在森林退化和浪费方面提出了什么样的解决方案?(2) 儿童认为他们在处理森林退化和浪费方面应该做出什么贡献?

The research reported in this paper provides results of one part of the study aimed at exploring: (a) young children’s (9-year-olds) mental models of collective and personal ways of addressing the issues of both forest destruction and waste; and (b) whether there are common factors in children’s thinking about the issues. A review of the relevant literature suggested that children have some knowledge about these issues, yet their understanding is, to some extent, imprecise and somewhat vague (Strommen 1995).
本文报告的研究提供了该研究的一部分的结果,旨在探讨:(a) 幼儿(9岁)处理森林破坏和浪费问题的集体和个人方法的心智模型;(b) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(b) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智模式;(c) 幼儿(9岁)的心智及(b)儿童在思考这些问题时,是否有共同的因素。对相关文献的回顾表明,儿童对这些问题有一定的了解,但他们的理解在某种程度上是不准确的,有些模糊的(Strommen,1995年)。

Participants
参与者

The students who participated in this study attended state schools located in a small city. The schools were selected because they were state schools with diverse socio-economic student populations, as is typical of state schools throughout Greece. Thirty 9-year-olds (15 boys and 15 girls) in the third grade of schooling participated in this research. This age group was selected because it represents the middle period of a child’s primary education in Greece, and also because these specific environmental issues are not covered in-depth, in an exclusively environmental way, other than being touched upon through the awarenessraising via the topics alluded to earlier, until the fourth grade. Therefore, it is less likely that the children would have substantial prior knowledge and understanding of the issues through their school education (although, of course, they may have some personal knowledge from other sources, such as the home context and the media).
参与这项研究的学生就读于位于一个小城市的公立学校。之所以选择这些学校,是因为它们是公立学校,拥有多元化的社会经济学生群体,这是希腊各地公立学校的典型特征。30 名 9 岁儿童(15 名男孩和 15 名女孩)参加了这项研究。之所以选择这个年龄组,是因为它代表了希腊儿童初等教育的中期,也因为这些特定的环境问题没有以完全环境的方式深入讨论,只是通过前面提到的主题提高认识来触及,直到四年级。因此,儿童通过学校教育对这些问题有充分的先验知识和理解的可能性较小(当然,他们可能从其他来源获得一些个人知识,例如家庭环境和媒体)。

Ethical considerations
道德考量

The Directorate of Primary Education granted the necessary permission for access to the schools. The teachers of the classes selected for the study were approached for consent, as were the parents of the pupils in their classes. The children involved were considered competent research subjects (Clark 2007) capable of agreeing or refusing to participate in
初等教育局批准了进入学校的必要许可。与被选中进行研究的班级的教师以及班级学生的家长进行了接触,以征得他们的同意。参与的儿童被认为是有能力的研究对象(Clark,2007年),能够同意或拒绝参与

the research (Farell 2005). Pseudonyms have been used throughout the paper, where necessary, to ensure the anonymity of the children.
研究(Farell 2005)。在必要时,整篇论文都使用了假名,以确保儿童的匿名性。

Data collection
数据采集

The researcher visited the school on two occasions to discuss and organise workshops on each environmental issue; namely, deforestation and waste. On the first visit, the pupils were asked to draw a picture related to ‘Deforestation’ and were subsequently interviewed individually. On the second visit, the same process was repeated for the theme of ‘Waste’.
研究人员曾两次访问学校,就每个环境问题讨论和组织研讨会;即森林砍伐和浪费。在第一次访问时,学生们被要求画一幅与“森林砍伐”有关的图片,然后进行单独采访。在第二次访问中,对“废物”主题重复了相同的过程。

The drawing activity was used in this part of the research primarily as a lead-in to the interviews. Consequently, analysis of these drawings was not considered at this point. The prompt given to the children to help them better express their ideas was a short and basic introduction to each issue. This ensured that the researcher would not influence their ideas before they drew the picture.
在这部分研究中,绘画活动主要用作访谈的引子。因此,此时没有考虑对这些图纸的分析。为了帮助他们更好地表达自己的想法,给孩子们的提示是对每个问题的简短而基本的介绍。这确保了研究人员在绘制图片之前不会影响他们的想法。

On completion of the drawings, each child was interviewed individually. A semi-structured interview was selected as the main method for the data collection process because it is ‘a flexible and adjustable way of finding things out ″ (Robson 1993, 229). The researcher can elicit more complete answers by asking sub-questions whenever children have difficulty in understanding what they are asked for. These interviews lasted approximately 15 min and were recorded by the researcher.
在完成绘画后,每个孩子都接受了单独采访。半结构化访谈被选为数据收集过程的主要方法,因为它是“一种灵活且可调整的发现方式”(Robson 1993,229)。每当孩子难以理解他们被问到什么时,研究人员可以通过提出子问题来获得更完整的答案。这些访谈持续了大约 15 分钟,并由研究人员记录下来。

Data analysis
数据分析

All the interviews were transcribed verbatim and qualitative analysis was undertaken using a qualitative analysis software programme; MAXQDA (2007). A second researcher was enlisted to read through all the transcripts. Double coding was applied to support reliability between raters (Miles and Huberman 1984). The interrater reliability coefficient was 0.80 to 0.89. Substantial searches were carried out in order to identify common patterns as well as marked differences.
所有访谈均逐字转录,并使用定性分析软件程序进行定性分析;MAXQDA(2007年)。第二名研究人员被招募来阅读所有的成绩单。应用双重编码来支持评估者之间的可靠性(Miles 和 Huberman,1984 年)。评分者间信度系数为0.80至0.89。为了确定共同的模式以及明显的差异,进行了大量的搜索。

A framework for the analysis of the data were provided by the two subject areas of ‘forest destruction’ and ‘waste’, which were used to code and disclose themes in the data. The responses collected from the children were analysed separately for each thematic area using content analysis in an inductive way (Cohen and Manion 1994). Core concepts (codes) were identified in the responses after the first reading and were subsequently revised after the second reading. Core concepts emerging from the responses were used to construct descriptive themes. Two sub-themes – ‘collective actions’ and ‘individual contributions’ – emerged. Essentially, these sub-themes were easily identified as they came from the responses to the two questions posed: namely, how people could address the problems and how the problems could be addressed by the children themselves. The codes
“森林破坏”和“浪费”这两个主题领域为数据分析提供了一个框架,用于编码和披露数据中的主题。从儿童那里收集的答复使用归纳方式进行内容分析,针对每个主题领域分别进行了分析(Cohen 和 Manion,1994 年)。核心概念(代码)在一读后在答复中确定,随后在二读后进行了修订。从答复中得出的核心概念被用来构建描述性主题。出现了两个子主题——“集体行动”和“个人贡献”。从根本上说,这些次主题很容易确定,因为它们来自对所提出的两个问题的答复:即人们如何解决这些问题以及儿童自己如何解决这些问题。代码

were put into categories and the categories were grouped into typologies reflecting the children’s mental models. This data were analysed for similarities and differences (Shepardson et al. 2007).
被分类,类别被分组为反映儿童心智模式的类型。对这些数据的相似性和差异性进行了分析(Shepardson 等人,2007 年)。

Subsequently, the responses with the corresponding codes were counted separately for each theme; every answer correlated to more than one code. Comparisons were made between the main thematic areas (i.e. forest, waste) and between the two sub-thematic areas (collective actions, individual involvement) within each theme. This meant that it was possible to identify potential connections and links regarding the children’s ways of addressing forest destruction and waste, as well as their personal contributions.
随后,对每个主题的带有相应代码的响应进行单独计数;每个答案都与多个代码相关。对主要专题领域(即森林、废物)和每个主题内的两个次主题领域(集体行动、个人参与)进行了比较。这意味着有可能确定有关儿童处理森林破坏和浪费问题的方式以及他们个人贡献的潜在联系和联系。

Results
结果

In the sections below, the main findings from the analysis are described. For both themes – i.e. ‘forest destruction’ and ‘waste’, findings are separated into the two sub-themes of ‘collective actions’ and ‘individual involvement’. Illustrative quotations, translated into English from the data, are included to illuminate key points.
在以下各节中,描述了分析的主要发现。对于“森林破坏”和“浪费”这两个主题,调查结果分为“集体行动”和“个人参与”两个子主题。包括从数据翻译成英文的说明性引文,以阐明关键点。

Issue 1: ‘forest destruction’
问题1:“森林破坏”

Children’s conceptions of collective actions for addressing the problem of forest destruction Every child involved in the research suggested at least 1 way of addressing forest destruction; there were 40 responses. The vast majority of the children’s suggestions were coded as proactive actions. From the inductive analysis of the data, we identified 14 codes or concepts that we grouped into 5 different categories of response. Next, we grouped the five categories into two typologies that reflected these students’ conceptions of the ways of addressing forest degradation (Table 1):
儿童对解决森林破坏问题的集体行动的构想 参与研究的每个儿童都提出了至少一种解决森林破坏问题的方法,共有 40 种答复。孩子们的绝大多数建议都被编码为积极行动。通过对数据的归纳分析,我们确定了 14 个代码或概念,我们将其分为 5 个不同的响应类别。接下来,我们将这五个类别分为两种类型,反映了这些学生对解决森林退化问题的方法的概念(表1):

direct action is needed in addressing the problem
在解决这一问题时需要采取直接行动

proactive actions are appropriate for facing up to the problem.
积极主动的行动对于正视问题是适当的。

Description of ‘direct action’
'direct action' 的描述

Children’s conceptions indicated that they felt that direct action would be taken by firefighters, or adults in general, and that these people would extinguish forest fires. This conception was based on a single category, ‘extinguishing the fire’, and reflected eight of the third graders’ responses. As one child commented, ‘firefighters can throw water and quench the fire!’
儿童的观念表明,他们认为消防员或一般成年人将采取直接行动,这些人将扑灭森林火灾。这个概念基于一个单一的类别,即“灭火”,并反映了八名三年级学生的反应。正如一个孩子评论的那样,“消防员可以泼水,可以灭火!

Description of ‘proactive actions’
“主动行动”的描述

Responses coded as ‘proactive actions’ reflected children’s conceptions that forest destruction would be addressed if we all behaved proactively. This notion consisted of four categories: (1) protection, (2) management, (3) prohibition and (4) punishment. The category of protection was reflected in 14 of the children’s responses and consisted of three codes: ‘ranger’; ‘fire truck’; and ‘camera’. One child commented that, ‘a camera should be put in the forest in order to record if anyone goes to harm it’. The category of ‘management’ was reflected in four of the children’s responses. This category comprised two codes: ‘rubbish collection’ and ‘thinning trees’. The category relating to prohibition consisted of five codes: ‘no camping’, ‘no cigarettes’, ‘no lighters’, ‘no litter’ and ‘no fire’. It was reflected in nine of the responses. The punishment category was reflected in three of the responses and comprised two codes: ‘prison’ and ‘fines’.
被编码为“积极行动”的回应反映了儿童的观念,即如果我们都采取积极行动,森林破坏问题就会得到解决。这一概念由四类组成:(1)保护,(2)管理,(3)禁止和(4)惩罚。14名儿童的答复反映了保护类别,由三个代码组成:“护林员”;“消防车”;和“相机”。一个孩子评论说,“应该在森林里放一个摄像头,以便记录下是否有人去伤害它”。“管理”这一类别反映在四个儿童的回答中。该类别由两个代码组成:“垃圾收集”和“疏伐树木”。与禁令有关的类别由五项法规组成:“禁止露营”、“禁止吸烟”、“禁止使用打火机”、“禁止乱扔垃圾”和“禁止火灾”。这反映在其中九份答复中。惩罚类别反映在其中三份答复中,包括两个代码:“监禁”和“罚款”。

Children’s conceptions of individual involvement for addressing the problem of forest destruction
儿童对解决森林破坏问题的个人参与的观念

The participants gave fewer responses (29) suggesting personal involvement. The content analysis of the data resulted in identifying 12 codes or concepts that we grouped into 4 different categories of responses. Next, we grouped the four categories into two conceptions
参与者给出的回答较少(29),表明个人参与。对数据进行内容分析后,确定了 12 个代码或概念,我们将这些代码或概念分为 4 种不同的响应类别。接下来,我们将这四个类别分为两个概念

that mirrored the two conceptions identified in ‘collective action’ above, i.e. ‘direct action’ and ‘proactive action’ (Table 2).
这反映了上述“集体行动”中确定的两个概念,即“直接行动”和“积极行动”(表2)。

Description of ‘direct action’
'direct action' 的描述

Direct action was reflected in students’ conceptions that forest destruction due to the fires would be addressed if the students called for the fire brigade, extinguished the fire by themselves or told somebody to extinguish it. This model was based on only one category: ‘extinguish the fire’, and consisted of four codes: (1) call the fire brigade, (2) tell an adult call the fire brigade, (3) tell an adult to extinguish the fire and (4) put it out by myself. Direct action was reflected in six of the responses.
直接行动反映在学生们的观念中,即如果学生呼叫消防队、自己灭火或告诉某人灭火,火灾造成的森林破坏就会得到解决。该模型仅基于一个类别:“灭火”,由四个代码组成:(1)呼叫消防队,(2)告诉成年人呼叫消防队,(3)告诉成年人灭火,(4)自己灭火。其中6份答复反映了直接行动。

Description of ‘proactive actions’
“主动行动”的描述

The proactive approach consisted of the same categories for the collective actions except that here there is no punishment category. The category of ‘protection’ was reflected in 14 of the responses and consisted of three codes: (1) ‘I don’t cut down the trees’, (2) ‘I keep the forest clean’ and (3) ‘I don’t kill animals’. The next category of ‘prohibition’ was reflected in eight of the responses. This category comprised four codes: ‘no litter’, ‘no cigarettes’, ‘no logging’ and ‘no fires’. The category of ‘management’ was reflected in one of the responses and consisted of one code: ‘recycling’.
积极主动的方法由集体行动的相同类别组成,只是这里没有惩罚类别。14份答复反映了“保护”类别,由三个代码组成:(1)“我不砍伐树木”,(2)“我保持森林清洁”和(3)“我不杀死动物”。下一类“禁止”一词反映在8份答复中。该类别包括四个代码:“禁止乱扔垃圾”、“禁止吸烟”、“禁止伐木”和“禁止火灾”。“管理”类别反映在一份答复中,由一个代码组成:“回收”。

Analysis of the data shows that the children seemed to believe they could contribute to addressing forest destruction even at a young age, but there was a difference. Although they suggested the solution to the problem – i.e. extinguish the fires – when they referred to their personal contribution, they suggested proactive actions such as collecting the rubbish or protecting the animals. Perhaps, this was because these actions were considered to be easier for them to do. We suggest that this finding could helpfully be taken into consideration when teaching this topic to young children and could be highlighted as a way of preventing forest destruction. Furthermore, in contrast with the findings that emerged in the study conducted by Barraza and Pineda (2003), it was apparent that the children considered themselves as agents of change. The translated discussion between the researcher (R) and 9-year-old Lydia (L) is given below and illustrates responses coded as ‘proactive actions’ (‘protection’, ‘prohibition’):
对数据的分析表明,这些儿童似乎认为,即使在很小的时候,他们也可以为解决森林破坏问题做出贡献,但两者之间存在差异。尽管他们提出了解决问题的方法——即灭火——但当他们提到自己的个人贡献时,他们建议采取积极行动,例如收集垃圾或保护动物。也许,这是因为这些行动被认为对他们来说更容易做到。我们建议,在向幼儿教授这一主题时,可以有益地考虑这一发现,并可以强调作为防止森林破坏的一种方式。此外,与Barraza和Pineda(2003年)进行的研究结果形成鲜明对比的是,儿童显然认为自己是变革的推动者。研究人员 (R) 和 9 岁的 Lydia (L) 之间的翻译讨论如下,并说明了编码为“主动行动”(“保护”、“禁止”)的反应:

R: What can be done to prevent the destruction of the forest?
R:可以做些什么来防止森林遭到破坏?

L: We have to protect the forest (protection); to forbid people from going into the forest.
L:我们必须保护森林(protection);禁止人们进入森林。

(prohibition)
(禁止)

R: What do you think you could do to address the problem of deforestation?
R:你认为你可以做些什么来解决森林砍伐的问题?

L: I can put a sign saying: ‘Hunting is forbidden.’ (prohibition). By not throwing litter down; keeping it clean (protection).
L:我可以挂一个牌子,上面写着:'禁止狩猎。 (禁止)。不扔垃圾;保持清洁(保护)。

Issue 2: ‘waste’
问题2:“浪费”

Children’s conceptions of collective actions for addressing the problem of waste
儿童对解决废物问题的集体行动的构想

In this category, fewer responses were given by the children (30 responses) compared with those given concerning ‘forest destruction’ (40 responses). This might be because the idea of the ‘forest’ was taught relatively more throughout the previous three years of schooling (kindergarten to second grade) and constitutes a major problem projected by the mass media in Greece, especially throughout the summer period.
在这一类别中,儿童的答复(30份)少于关于“森林破坏”的答复(40份答复)。这可能是因为在前三年的学校教育(从幼儿园到二年级)中,“森林”的概念被教授得相对较多,并且构成了希腊大众媒体所预测的一个主要问题,尤其是整个夏季。

As before, analysis of the data led to the identification of two conceptual categorisations: namely ‘direct action’ and ‘proactive actions’ (Table 3).
与以前一样,通过对数据的分析,确定了两个概念分类:“直接行动”和“主动行动”(表3)。

Description of ‘direct action’
'direct action' 的描述

‘Direct action’, was based only on one category: ‘throwing the waste into the rubbish bin’. It was reflected in 13 of the children’s responses. It is worth mentioning here that less than half of the third graders considered that the direct action of putting the rubbish into the bin rather than throwing it on the ground constituted a way of addressing the problem of waste. Clearly, this is a practice which, although it does not contribute to a reduction in the amount of waste, derives from the children’s everyday life experience.
“直接行动”仅基于一个类别:“将废物扔进垃圾桶”。这反映在13个儿童的回答中。值得一提的是,只有不到一半的三年级学生认为,将垃圾放入垃圾桶而不是扔在地上的直接行动构成了解决垃圾问题的一种方式。显然,这种做法虽然无助于减少废物量,但源于儿童的日常生活经验。

Description of ‘proactive actions’
“主动行动”的描述

This consisted of two categories: (1) ‘management’, which was comprised of three codes: ‘reuse’, ‘recycle’ and ‘reduce’ (known as the three ‘R’s). Although nearly half of the responses seem to suggest direct action, 15 of the responses suggested proactive action as well. This indeed contributes to a reduction in waste; either by recycling/reusing (9) or by a reduction in consumption (6); and (2) punishment, which was reflected in only two of the children’s responses. This finding perhaps links to the way that children of this age tend to judge actions in terms of the severity of the consequence rather than in terms of motives.
它由两类组成:(1)“管理”,由三个代码组成:“再利用”、“回收”和“减少”(称为三个“R”)。虽然近一半的答复似乎建议采取直接行动,但其中15份答复也建议采取积极行动。这确实有助于减少浪费;通过回收/再利用(9)或减少消耗(6);(2)惩罚,这仅反映在两个孩子的反应中。这一发现可能与这个年龄段的儿童倾向于根据后果的严重性而不是动机来判断行为的方式有关。

Children’s conceptions of individual involvement for addressing the problem of waste Apart from two children who said they did not know, the majority conceptualised their personal contribution in alignment with the solutions they were aware of. Overall, there were 29 responses. As before, the data were analysed and this led to the identification of the responses as representative of ‘direct action’ or ‘proactive actions’ (Table 4).
儿童对个人参与解决废物问题的概念 除了两个孩子说他们不知道外,大多数孩子都把他们的个人贡献与他们所知道的解决方案相一致。总共有 29 份回复。与以前一样,对数据进行了分析,从而确定了代表“直接行动”或“积极行动”的回应(表4)。

Description of ‘direct action’
'direct action' 的描述

‘Direct action’ was based on only one category: throwing the waste into the rubbish bin (as reflected in seven of the responses). As one child suggested: ‘I can throw the waste into a rubbish bin’.
“直接行动”仅基于一个类别:将废物扔进垃圾桶(如七份答复所反映的那样)。正如一个孩子建议的那样:“我可以把垃圾扔进垃圾桶”。

Description of ‘proactive actions’
“主动行动”的描述

‘Proactive actions’ consisted of two categories: firstly, ‘management’, which encompassed what are known as the ‘3 Rs’ (i.e. reuse – recycle – reduce). This category was reflected in 13 of the responses. Secondly, the category we called ‘addressing figures of authority’ (e.g. adults, the municipality), was reflected in nine of the responses. It is interesting to note that, in this category, the children appeared to consider others (i.e. the municipality or adults in general) as responsible for addressing the problem. Even though this finding connects with the findings from other studies with older students (Malandrakis 2008), it is noteworthy that the rest of the children considered themselves as being agents of change (Iliopoulou 2011).
“积极行动”由两类组成:第一类是“管理”,包括所谓的“3R”(即再利用-回收-减少)。这一类别反映在13份答复中。其次,我们称之为“称呼权威人士”的类别(例如成年人、市政当局)反映在九份答复中。有趣的是,在这一类中,儿童似乎认为其他人(即市政当局或一般成年人)应对解决这一问题负责。尽管这一发现与其他针对高年级学生的研究结果有关(Malandrakis 2008),但值得注意的是,其他儿童认为自己是变革的推动者(Iliopoulou 2011)。

Excerpts from interviews with two children, Mary and Odysseas, are transcribed below, to illustrate their thoughts and indicate the coding (in brackets).Excerpt from interview with Mary (M):
下面转录了对两个孩子玛丽和奥德修斯的采访摘录,以说明他们的想法并指出编码(在括号中)。玛丽(M)访谈摘录:

R: What can be done to reduce waste?
R:可以做些什么来减少浪费?

M: We can recycle (management/recycle)
M:我们可以回收(管理/回收)

R: What do you think you could do to address the problem of waste?
R:你认为你能做些什么来解决浪费问题?

M: I have been recycling at home (management/recycling). I can help by not throwing the rubbish on the street (direct/into the bin) and the papers which I don’t need anymore, but if I need them for something I’ll take them and make something (management / reusing).
M:我一直在家回收(管理/回收)。 我可以帮忙,不把垃圾扔在街上(直接/扔进垃圾桶)和我不再需要的纸张,但如果我需要它们来做一些事情,我会拿走它们并做一些东西(管理/重复使用)。

Excerpt from interview with Odysseas (O):
摘自对Odysseas(O)的采访:

R: What we could do in order not have much rubbish?
R:我们能做些什么来避免垃圾的浪费?

O: Ehh …. to throw it (direct/into the bin).
O:呃....扔掉它(直接/扔进垃圾桶)。

R: What do you think you could do?
R:你觉得你能做什么?

O: I should not buy a lot of things (management/reduce consumption).
O:我不应该买很多东西(管理/减少消耗)。

Discussion and implications for teaching and learning
讨论及其对教学的启示

It is important to acknowledge that the descriptions of children’s conceptions presented in this paper are based on analysis of children’s responses as a group. It is of course possible
重要的是要承认,本文中提出的对儿童概念的描述是基于对儿童作为一个群体的反应的分析。这当然是可能的

that an individual student, in a different context, might express different conceptions (Shepardson et al. 2007). The descriptions presented in this study offer a general picture of the conceptions children have of both collective actions and individual involvement as possible ways of addressing particular environmental problems. It is hoped that this may support practice by providing practitioners with insight into ‘the varied ways in which students make sense of the environment’ (Shepardson et al. 2007, 342).
在不同的背景下,个别学生可能会表达不同的概念(Shepardson 等人,2007 年)。本研究中的描述提供了儿童对集体行动和个人参与作为解决特定环境问题的可能方式的观念的一般情况。希望这可以通过为从业者提供对“学生理解环境的各种方式”的见解来支持实践(Shepardson 等人,2007 年,342 年)。

The study indicated that, for both of the specific environmental problems (‘deforestation’ and ‘waste’) it was possible to differentiate the children’s responses according to whether they represented (1) ‘direct action’: – that is, concrete or short-term actions aimed at dealing with the problems once the problems exist or (2) ‘proactive actions’: in other words, the longterm/preventative actions aimed at addressing these problems in a sustainable way.
该研究表明,对于这两个具体的环境问题(“森林砍伐”和“浪费”),可以根据它们是否代表(1)“直接行动”来区分儿童的反应:即,旨在处理问题存在的具体或短期行动,或(2)“积极行动”:换句话说,旨在以可持续方式解决这些问题的长期/预防性行动。

In terms of their conceptions of ‘collective actions’, it was possible to subcategorise the proactive actions into the notions of ‘protection’, ‘management’, ‘prohibition’ or ‘punishment’, as these were suggested by the children as ways of preventing the problems in order to create a more sustainable environment. It is interesting to note that the children tended to focus on ‘prohibition’ and ‘punishment’ as ways of deterring others from causing problems. This may perhaps be due to their level of maturity and understanding of the world and it would be interesting to determine how this might develop as they mature.
就他们的“集体行动”概念而言,可以将积极行动细分为“保护”、“管理”、“禁止”或“惩罚”等概念,因为儿童认为这些是预防问题的方法,以便创造一个更可持续的环境。有趣的是,孩子们往往把重点放在“禁止”和“惩罚”上,以此作为阻止他人造成问题的方法。这也许是由于他们的成熟程度和对世界的理解,确定随着他们的成熟而如何发展将是有趣的。

Personal contribution
个人贡献

In terms of individual actions, the children in our sample seemed to believe that they were able to reduce waste through their daily habits. However, this was not the case with the forest issue. The pupils felt that deforestation was not something they could deal with; it was unlike that of the problem of waste in that it was not something they had experience of on a daily basis. The analysis of data also suggested that the solutions the students had, and suggested, for addressing the environmental problems were also considered by them to be ways of personally dealing with the problems. In terms of teaching and learning, this highlights the potential benefits of a problem-solving and action-oriented curriculum, which children can directly apply their thinking to concrete experiences. In this way, the children can learn how they can become competent at making decisions and taking action as active participants (Jensen 2002). […]
就个人行为而言,我们样本中的儿童似乎认为他们能够通过日常习惯减少浪费。然而,森林问题并非如此。学生们认为森林砍伐不是他们能够处理的事情;这与浪费问题的不同之处在于,这不是他们每天都经历过的事情。对数据的分析还表明,学生们为解决环境问题而提出的解决方案也被他们认为是个人处理问题的方式。在教学和学习方面,这突出了解决问题和以行动为导向的课程的潜在好处,孩子们可以直接将他们的思维应用于具体的经验。通过这种方式,孩子们可以学习如何成为积极的参与者,有能力做出决定和采取行动(Jensen 2002)。[…]

An implication of the present study is that that the children displayed an insufficient understanding of the specific problems (‘forest destruction’ and ‘waste’): as some were not able to suggest important ways of addressing the problems (such as rubbish collection and forest thinning for fire protection, or consumption reduction for addressing the waste issue). We would argue that it would be beneficial, therefore, to teach environmental topics
本研究的一个含义是,儿童对具体问题(“森林破坏”和“浪费”)的理解不足:因为有些儿童无法提出解决这些问题的重要方法(例如为防火而收集垃圾和砍伐森林,或为解决废物问题而减少消耗)。我们认为,因此,教授环境主题将是有益的

holistically and systemically, starting in kindergarten and increasing in sophistication and abstract levels of thought year by year as the cognitive maturity of children increases with age.
从整体性、系统性上看,从幼儿园开始,随着儿童认知成熟度的提高,思维的复杂程度和抽象程度逐年提高。

Limitations and suggestions for further research
局限性及进一步研究的建议

This research was conducted with only a small sample and concerned two-specific environmental topics. Consequently, there is a need for further research covering other environmental issues as well, and involving a broader sample in order that conclusions can be drawn in terms of some socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, school, and place of residence or socio-economic conditions. Longitudinal studies of how students build mental models would be valuable to determine the influence of schooling and sociocultural interactions on students’ conceptualisations of environmental topics.
这项研究仅使用一小部分样本进行,涉及两个特定的环境主题。因此,有必要对其他环境问题进行进一步研究,并涉及更广泛的样本,以便能够根据性别、年龄、学校、居住地或社会经济条件等一些社会人口因素得出结论。对学生如何建立心智模型的纵向研究对于确定学校教育和社会文化互动对学生环境主题概念化的影响很有价值。

Conclusion
结论

This small-scale study offers a contribution to the understanding of children’s conceptualisation of crucial environmental problems. It is hoped more broadly that the insights can be used to support the development of education programmes, with the aim of better preparing students to become competent citizens who can tackle the environmental challenges of the present and future.
这项小规模的研究有助于理解儿童对关键环境问题的概念化。更广泛地说,希望这些见解可以用于支持教育方案的制定,目的是使学生更好地培养成为有能力的公民,能够应对现在和未来的环境挑战。
