    In the scope of our ongoing research we’re investigating the relation of 3rd and 5th grade students to environment, nature and well being since 2013 within the confines of an educational package. Differences revealed by annually held primer and secunder measurements validate the improvement potential of the package and underline the possibilities of developing environmental awareness by utilizing experience-based learning techniques. In my research I compare the results of the previous year with the year before that, thus demonstrating how 3rd grade participants of 2015/16 improved by the time they were in 5th grade. We show if there are significant differences in specific areas of knowledge between those who did and those who didn’t utilize such activity-based educational packages and how experience-based, differentiated environmental-awareness education can be facilitated within the scope of everyday learning. The actuality of the topic lies in our daily life, since students hear from the media, the teachers, on the internet that we shall be environmentally aware, protect the nature, minimize waste yet up-to date results show that information which is not confirmed by emotional effects or basic cognitive experience has no long-term effect. Within this research we are looking for methods to improve everyday environmental-awareness education of children

    The article is focusing on how the application of an environmental educational package affected 3rd and 5th-grade students' relation to environment, nature and well-being. The possibilities of developing environmental awareness using an environmental education package based on experience- centred learning techniques is being demonstrated by the results of annual assessments. The effectiveness of the environmental educational package was investigated by a longitudinal study what compared the result of a study group against a control group. The performance of 3rd-grade participants of 2016/17 were compared to their own results in 5th grade in 2018/19. The result demonstrates the effectiveness of experience-based, differentiated environmental-awareness education within the scope of everyday learning. That there are significant differences in specific areas of knowledge between the study group and the control group. Among the examined topics the group utilizing the education package outperformed the control groups over a long timeframe. Experience-based methods are shown to be beneficial based on their utilization and tracking of the results

    A few educational packages about environmental awareness had been developed in Hungary in the past couple of years focusing on sustainability, environmental awareness and transferring knowledge about these which would be useful in the everyday life. Each of these packages might employ different techniques in order to present diversity for teachers therefore helping children gaining the essential knowledge to approach environmental awareness. In my research I’d like to introduce you some of these educational packages, their approaches, what age-groups are they focusing on, what goals they’re set to achieve and what are the differences between them

    Middle Holocene Environment on the Ozark Margin in Southeast Missouri: Deciphering a Testudine Testament

    Turtle taxa represented at Lepold site 23RI59 in southeastern Missouri, USA provide a record of environmental conditions spanning the Middle Holocene. Identified turtle taxa show that open water was present between 7500 and 4000 radiocarbon years ago. Aquatic resources seem to be more intensively exploited beginning about 6300 years ago, about 1200 years after intensive occupation of the site had begun. The observed turtle taxon composition is consistent with the presence of a floodplain with shallow, seasonal, overflow ponds, but with riverine and upland habitats also being represented

    Changing Sociocultural Systems During the Late Prehistoric Period in Southeast Michigan. (Volumes I and II).

    Change in late prehistoric sociocultural systems in the Great Lakes Region is analyzed in terms of the operation of an adaptive system. This study focuses on societies of southeast Michigan during the Late Prehistoric Period, which is the interval after A.D. 500 and before A.D. 1600. Long-term directional changes observed in the archaeological and ethnohistorical records of the Great Lakes Region are analyzed as transformations in a hierarchy of regulatory subsystems. These subsystems operate on both a local and regional level to channel exchanges of matter, energy and information which serve to buffer uncertainty in the social and physical environments. The hierarchy of regulatory subsystems ranges from local mechanisms, which are easily initiated and rapidly executed, to structures of a regional scope which encompass a much wider population, greater expenditures of energy, and which could persist over long periods of time. In southeast Michigan after A.D. 800 maize agriculture became an increasingly important subsistence activity. Since corn productivity is subject to uncertainty in both time and space, its increased importance in the diet should be associated with changes in social organization consistent with the increased operation of higher-order regulators within and between communities. Ecological and information theory are used to relate this transformation of the regulatory system to predicted changes in ceramic style variability, settlement pattern and mortuary treatment observable in the archaeological record. Stylistic information carried by ceramics is used to monitor group boundaries and intensity of interaction among subareas. Change in the size and distribution of communities is used to investigate intra- and intercommunity social organization. Mortuary data are used to assess the size of groups participating in mortuary ritual through time. Stylistic, settlement and mortuary data confirm that the expected changes in production, social organization and regulatory systems commenced after A.D. 800 in southeast Michigan. However, the large multicommunity alliances seen among the early historic Iroquoian groups to the east, if present in southeast Michigan, did not appear before A.D. 1400.Ph.D.ArchaeologyNative American studiesCultural anthropologyUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/159764/1/8402308.pd
