Includes bibliographical references

This case study explored a teacher's beliefs regarding the objectives for environmental education as described by the Tbilisi Declaration and identified structures that hindered or assisted the educator's attempt to realize those objectives. Data gathering involved subject and community interviews, artifact examination, and observations. The process of triangulation served to verify subject interview accounts. Questioning strategies included the semistructured interview using an interview guide approach. Data analysis involved the use of indigenous concepts and thematic analysis.

520 $a This case study explored a teacher's beliefs regarding the objectives for environmental education as described by the Tbilisi Declaration and identified structures that hindered or assisted the educator's attempt to realize those objectives. Data gathering involved subject and community interviews, artifact examination, and observations. The process of triangulation served to verify subject interview accounts. Questioning strategies included the semistructured interview using an interview guide approach. Data analysis involved the use of indigenous concepts and thematic analysis.
520 $a The study occurred in a school district located in a small Northwestern logging community. The subject was a female secondary science teacher identified by environmental education professionals as exemplary. She taught human ecology in an integrated program titled "Connections and Consequences" with English and history teachers.
520 $a Findings revealed that college education greatly influenced the teacher's beliefs and practice. Although the subject's knowledge of environmental education literature was limited, her college experience, grounded in action research and problem solving, translated to teaching beliefs and practices supportive of and complimentary to the Tbilisi objectives. Critical educational questions were raised involving teachers' beliefs and the effectiveness of specific environmental education strategies associated with the Tbilisi objectives.
520 $a Findings regarding teacher support revealed critical concerns for environmental education. The subject believed that her school's science department failed to provide sufficient support due to gender bias and the social political aspects of environmental education. Findings involving the subject selection process and teacher support suggested that teachers' and their supporting community possess little knowledge of environmental education's objectives. Recommendations involve the critical examination of environmental education within the context of diffusion of innovation models.
