ENSI-SEED Conference • Szeged, 3–6 September 2003

Case studies

The twelve case studies from seven countries gave a picture of the teacher education activity of the participants. All the case studies dealt not only with the educational activity of the participants but also with reflection on environmental educational activities. In reflecting on environmental activities most case studies used the methods of action research. All the case studies emphasized the importance of essential permanent development of environmental educational activities at the level of schools as well as in teacher education or in educational policies.
