Title: | Beyond critical education for sustainable consumption: Rethinking dialogue in environmental education | Authors: | HO-CHIA CHUEH | Keywords: | Critical consciousness; Dialogue; Environmental education; Parental altruism; Sustainable consumption | Issue Date: | 2020 | Journal Volume: | 10 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Start page/Pages: | 97-117 | Source: | Language and Dialogue | Abstract: | This paper empirically supports environmental courses and activities based upon 'parental altruism' as an effective environmental education in developing citizen's pro-environmental values, attitudes, and behaviors. This is a case study of the Homemaker's Union Consumer Cooperation (HUCC), a prominent environmental consumer non-profit organization in Taiwan with over 70000 members. Re-examining Paulo Freire's critical dialogical pedagogy, this study uses Paul Stern's three levels of value orientation to investigate changes of HUCC members' consumption behaviors. The courses and activities with parental-care are efficiently received by members than those of critical knowledge with the environment in terms of developing pro-environmental behaviors. Parental altruism is the key in changing consumer's environmental values. This finding contributes to rethinking the meaning of dialogue in environmental education. © John Benjamins Publishing Company |
