Multiple Forms for Environmental Education

The beauty of education for every heart

Profound understanding can be a vibrant power for education, leading to a path for taking steps to protect positive environment protection

Communication among the scientists & the scholars of humanities

What is explanatory understanding?

Explanatory understanding and a secret for environment education

The term climate change (which change?)

Use of effective science terms to improve understanding

Making science concepts understandable for all

The art and science of making effective diagrams to convey science concepts

In a multilingual world – to reach all, needs of multilingual communication

Multiple forms of environment (considering physical environment, cognitive environment, social environment, language environment and other forms)

How this approach can facilitate multidimensional pathway for environment education

We  can consider – a pathway to make an impact !

                                      An idea for a possible invention by Dr. Altaf Qadeer

              { climate + watch = CLIMOWATCH  }

AN INVENTION {CLIMOWATCH} IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE AN IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT RELATED EFFORTS

AN INVENTION TO MAKE A TRACKING DEVICE / FREQUENTLY UPDATING DEVICE WHICH LIVES WITH US FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS

An idea of Altaf Qadeer (Ph.D., FRSA)

Inventing a model for environment awareness which can be in every home, car, cell phone and more

[ Although some information on environment issues is on various websites in an exponentially expanded form, however this proposed invention will bring many aspects in one place in a concise, attractive, real-time updates and constantly impacting our awareness with multiple ways, in many languages]

An attractive model which can be in every home/office/car/wearable jewellery  – a possibility to design a work of art with scientific updates – a device that can be invented which will consistently / frequently display the environment, climate changing information and weather information every moment from various parts of the world. It will have some current indicators for our weather and the environment. The information indicators or status of various changing factors will have some fact-based short quotes to give awareness to everyone. The device will give a choice of languages and the option to set the local specific weather conditions/warnings and more related information. Environment education with a touch of technology and artistic beauty along with an easy-to-understand approach for all. This invention may be connected to cell phones and possible Apps/ Wearable technology can be developed for this purpose too.  The growing world needs are obvious and a possibility for an invention that will introduce a new device for environment awareness and ongoing updates for everyone.

A plan for a possible invention that can do business and also help everyone about our environment. 

More details can be discussed.

Also, our understanding of the physical environment can be enriched with extending our thinking for the multiple forms of the environment.

The beauty of education for every heart can save the hearts of all environments – Dr. Altaf Qadeer

Multidimensional power for the protection of various environments

The environmental protection needs a multidimensional approach to enrich our efforts for a number of fields

The global momentum gearing for environment related fields

Many growing aspects indicate the importance of this issue

The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics was given for the work on complex physical systems and physical modelling of Earth’s climate. This step is also a reflection of exhibiting stronger links between climate change and solid science along with physical theory (cf. Nature 598, 246-247 (2021).

Reaching all hearts to consider all forms of environment

Considering all forms of environment

Cognitive environment

Psychological environment

Physical environment

Languages environment

Cultural environment

Visible environment

Invisible environment

Social environment

(And many more types)

In the year 1998 and 2000; Altaf Qadeer’s work on protecting our cognitive environment was highlighted

 Also a suggestion was given to start university level courses on this topic

(Various aspects of environment; cognitive environment, physical environment and other dimensions)

Expand your imagination and think of how many types of ‘NETS’ we have around us

WE LIVE IN MULTIPLE NETS

Cognitive-net

Social-net 

Brain-nets 

Interdisciplinary-nets

Linguistic-nets

Number-nets

Internet

Environment – nets

soft-nets

hard-nets

quasi-nets

visible-nets

invisible-nets

(And many more nets you can think)

Connecting the power of various environments

Thinking question:

How does scientific knowledge impact the opinion formation of people in relation to environmental issues?

 Marc J. Stern compared many theories of social science

“Despite what many people think, scientific facts don’t change people’s minds when cultural commitments are in play. In multiple studies, researchers have found that increasing scientific knowledge is not consistently linked to the acceptance of the existence of environmental risks”      Social science theory for environmental sustainability (Pg81)

We have many types of environments to consider for comprehensive research studies and EER (Environmental education research)

How well are we working on protecting various types of environments?

 Do we consider environmental protection in various fields?

                                                       [d]

                                         An approach  of Altaf Qadeer :

Human Intelligence Inspiring Education = HIIE 

Our curriculum in various schools/ universities/ other institutes can also start some component of learning about

Human Intelligence Inspiring Education (HIIE). 

 If human minds are inspired, they can also make impressive inventions. 

Think of this paradigm: With the highly effective pathways, human intelligence (HI) can also open doors for artificial intelligence (AI) to reach a new positive level to help all. 

On the other hand artificial intelligence (AI)  can facilitate human intelligence (HI) in a number of ways. 

Exploring best ways for both AI and HI.

A new step possible: Citizen Education Science    

 {citizen science } + {education} = citizen education science       

   
                    Everyone has data of some type – (formal data, informal data, qualitative reflections)
                                                 Giving voice to everyone in learning
                                                              
 Forming education nets from the living data of all hearts   
 MAKING A FIELD FOR ALL CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE, COLLABORATE, COLLECT DATA IN MANY WAYS with MULTIPLE LINKS IN VARIOUS FIELDS
Giving voice to everyone in the pedagogical journey — “Citizen Education Science” can become an effective new dimension for many fields of learning. 
A number of stakeholders have front-line living data with well-integrated interactions in the fields of theory, research and practice – and – this idea can perhaps make it well connected for ALL stakeholders in the world. Our metacognition at the individual level and at the collective level can form new dimensions in learning and for future research.
Meta Collective Intelligence in action.  Inclusion of all stakeholders and the citizen level data collection can bring large scale varieties of data to a more workable level and facilitate a global forum for education.  All stakeholders (including researchers and the public) can be a part of this form of data collection, feedback, interactions of small and large scale, various geographical and multilingual needs for a number of topics.  This possible new step can also help to develop techniques to improve the PSYCHOLOGY of SUCCESS & Self Learning Techniques, Inspiring Creativity of all, from the elementary grades to all next levels in life. This can be a dynamic and inspiring way to bring an impact for all learners & integrate various fields.  Using many new ways of learning and the expanding universe of the science of learning; all stakeholders can bring their ideas/data to citizen education science. 
How do we learn something in the best way? How do we inspire our creativity in the best way?  Citizen input with some examples can give hints for vibrant data collection.  
Every example can guide in developing ideas. 
New paradigms can be redefined by meta-connections of minds.

CISI = Creativity Inspired Science & Inventions

                                                                                                                                                                            by Altaf Qadeer (Ph.D.)

                            Creativity inspiring factors, making inventions, a journey of students’ accomplishments

– Do we consider a pathway to make “creativity & innovation” a vibrant workable factor in the student performance?

– Flourishing creativity and developing economic growth of a country

(as some experts also find a link between the two)

– Some important factors of this strategy – the design and application process

(Useful ideas for school level & beyond)

Although there is growing literature about creativity; perhaps the following strategies can provide a possible working model that combines certain pathways to show creativity in action with certain steps to make inventions. It can be hypothesized, there are numerous benefits of inspiring students to explore their potential for creativity.

(i)  Teaching along with some interactive sessions on learning about creativity.

Exploring, understanding & applying pathways to inspire creativity with multidisciplinary approach (what is creativity, how to inspire creativity, ideas from various subjects, stories of some famous inventors, building an attitude to be an inventor)

(ii)  Finding ways to inspire creativity can help to make inventions! History of inventions, explaining the process of making inventions

(In general, experiments and examples to see if an approach can help to make inventions. Understanding the connections between the economic growth & improving quality of life)

Making inventions can have an impact on the growth and progress of a country—incorporating this dimension from the early years can be inspiring for individuals and groups

(iii)  Finding ways to invent something new to help everyone

Combining themes, ideas, material, blocks & gadgets to solve a problem

Understanding and applying the power of making connections

Understanding certain problems/human needs and applying science & technology to find a solution

Considering the ongoing changing nature of inventions, constant improvements, analyzing feedback

(iv)     Theoretical Creativity

Making theoretical inventions

Creating freedom for the mind range to extend in various ways and reach new levels of problem solving to make inventions.

Finding the outcomes when various connections are formed between ideas, objects, dimensions & other entities

(In our trials various new items were invented by the participants; drawing on a piece of paper, analysis in groups, displaying work for feedback.)

(v)   Experimental Creativity

Making an initial model to show the working process

(vi)       Some examples of the inventions made include:

Some student ideas for an invention (elementary level students worked in the first stage)

“Elevators with foot operated buttons”

(Perhaps a useful idea in view of current needs)

“Circular roof bumpers”

For cars to protect passengers against rollovers and other accidents

(During a car rollover the roof structure can be supported so that it gives time for rescue)

“Clear view for drivers”

Pillars in front of the windshield may reduce the possibility for drivers to clearly see the outside people walking, especially while making turns, this technology reduces the thickness of the pillars so that drivers can see more clearly

“Clothes Iron with an extra outer layer to protect hand burning”

Additional protection for certain types of irons

“Wheelchair with an adjustable roof” ”

To provide protection against some weather conditions etc.

“Designing a connecting pipe flow system for the gas stations with facility to pump gas while staying inside the car”

A temporary pipe flow connector which can facilitate gas pumping in the car while the driver stays inside the car and payment can be made from the driver’s seat. Safety and hygiene can also be important factors to consider

It can also be useful to benefit from the following tips:

– Keeping track (maintain a file) of the elementary level students’ inventions from year to year also helps to co-create new ideas, inspire creativity journey and make evaluation beyond conventional marks

– It can be noted that “creativity” is not limited to just one subject or a specific field only, students display their creative work which can encompass various subjects/fields.

– Creativity across the curriculum is shown here in an initial form (considering theory, research and practice). Perhaps it can lead to some breakthrough models by further developing these seeds.

– It is observed that many students excel in their overall learning in all subjects:

(a) when they were inspired to see their own inventions working

(b) effort appreciation for inventions

(c) rewards for developing new ideas

(d) building confidence to make inventions

(e) experiencing success of the creativity journey as individuals and as a group (f) encouraging continued journey of finding the unknown with the help of the known

(g) students are not just making conventional models for science fairs but trying to bring a more creative factor in their work

Success sustaining education can have a lasting impact.

A pathway to think and explore more – if creativity inspiring pathways are combined with some multiple factors to make inventions; how it impacts on the growth of stakeholders – which outcomes are possible in various settings?

It is still a work in progress- more research is needed to develop further.

Breakthrough ideas influence all fields.

{11}

In our teaching and learning we make connections between a number of things (such as ideas, material objects, nets of numbers, nets of ideas, social-net, cognitive-net, internet and more), on the other hand there are many links made in our brains (neuron connections and more)—Is there any way to find if these connections made in the learning environment and in the inner world (Brain) have any effects on each other!

An interdisciplinary study can provide data to compare.

The need to start a new generation of literature

“Research Journals for Children”

Children also learn through the easy version of higher level books, such as Children’s Oxford Dictionary, Children’s Britannica etc.

 Have you ever seen children version of research journals?

 It is time to start this new generation of literature. Children’s Research Journals

(Simplified version, simple text, easy to understand pictures, less complicated math) can be published in many languages and in many subject areas to enrich our academic world.

 Imagine! Numerous benefits!

 The rationale is given in this article

 Why we need to introduce research journals for children?

A revolutionary step is possible

Cognitive-net, Social-net & Internet

(Please note- this idea is being presented for many years)

The need is very high and our current available resources may not be enough to meet all challenges in a short time.

One possible way to support world education (for all countries) is to consider the following (a humble idea):

–  Start a high quality, effective and multilingual online school with great teachers

The power of volunteer work can play an important role in this work.

This is perhaps one powerful solution to many issues that we want to address to promote peace and human rights through quality education.

A poem 

 by Dr. Altaf Qadeer 

Over the years of life

Over a changing time

The events of decades ago

Discovering the DNA of next memories

Memories shaping new memories

In an unknown moment of time

The DNA of memories re-shaped

The chromosomes of sadness silently re-defined

In the lab of love

In the lab of sad realities

In the expanding universe of human distances

Love is reshaping the journey of love

A world in home, re-discovering a home in the world

In the world of millions without a home

In a world of hunger, where some with billions in banks

Many children try to sleep without food

Where loving minds try to sleep with open eyes

Many children who can not write their names

With no pencil, no colors, no paper to draw a dream

In the long distances of dreams

Who is making an echoing scream!

Many languages not known to the world forum

The birds fly and cross the lands

Many birds, many songs keep hiding in many lands

With new obstacles on the roof of older barriers

Somewhere a heart is reaching their hearts

In a world with certainty of an economic uncertainty

In a world where an unforeseen crisis can come due to another crisis

Crisis multiplying crisis

Growing economic flowers in the silent lands of frictions

A silent global disaster getting ignition

My memories of memories are drying my oceans of tears

Many environments of feelings are changing with dryness

Many new environments are crying to get protected of new fears

Can we protect our cognitive environment and all environments!

Let’s protect those hearts losing hope for everything

How an unknown voice becomes the voice of your heart

How hearts translate hearts

Empower all hearts to flourish all hearts

Happiness, togetherness, with a feeling of nearness

The voice of a loving heart can impact all hearts

The beauty of education for every heart

{A Poem }

In the ocean of education

my last heartbeat 

sparked a new motivation.

The power of my last heartbeat…

Remembering the day of my very first heartbeat,

all my neurons connected to a new paradigm.

Reshaping the world of feelings with a new feeling!

I am going farther than any imagination……

not going to see you again but my message

becomes a logo in the unseen books.

Every heartbeat can beat the odds.

The beauty of education for every heart.

A creative idea to bring all young minds on a journey to success. 

An organization / university can pioneer this:

 a DIGITAL MUSEUM OF STUDENTS’ WORK   (school, college, university +)

As you know there are important visual indicators of the history of various works at your school system, in the schools and programs. Do we preserve them in some way for future use? ………. Such as pictures, posters, students’ made models and many more……..

                                                {22}

Starting a digital museum of careers,

changing job market, new professions, inner story of changes, enhancing understanding can make an impact
