【 摘 要 】

This work contemplates on the possibility of the development of theecological paradigm through the process of learning in authentic naturalenvironments. The support to the development of the ecological paradigm isgiven by the current reformatory processes in schools that increasinglypromote the openness of schools and the transfer of the stuffy process intoinformal environments, natural and social surroundings. Natural surroundingsare filled with new challenges and comprise a challenging environment forstudents where they can explore, experiment, realize the relationshipsbetween objects and occurrences in nature. Authentic natural surroundings area new kind of lecturing situation where they are given a chance forsituational, cooperative and studying through experience. Being in touch withnature has effect on the cognitive, affective and psychomotoric developmentof the students, also on the building of a new kind of attitude towardsnature based on the interconnection and mutual condicionality.
