1. PLANTS AND ANIMALS BIOLOGY IN EDUCATION

Α. COURSE DESCRIPTIO

The course is the basic introductory course for the teaching of Botany and Zoology at the various levels of the country’s educational system. The course material aims to introduce the students to the basic concepts of the Sciences of Botany and Zoology in connection with the corresponding chapters that constitute the teaching material of the respective courses of the school levels. Due to the great heterogeneity of the students’ basic degree, basic principles and concepts governing the physiology and function of living organisms, both plant and animal, are taught. The course includes not only lectures but also laboratory exercises, during which students become familiar with the optical microscope and the process of observing organisms in it. Also, students practice simulation exercises so that they can use this teaching tool in the future. Various methodologies and techniques are proposed to the students, depending on the level of education they are involved in (Primary or secondary) in order to find the best

way to transmit knowledge and understand the various phenomena. Also, the students are assigned some thematic seminars after collaboration with the lecturers, in order to explore basic concepts and phenomena in the plant and animal kingdom, but also the ways in which they can encourage the students in the search for knowledge and the development of initiative as well as team spirit of cooperation. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: He has understood the basic characteristics of the plant and animal cell He has practiced how he should approach a subject in order to be understood by the student Develops the ways in which cells are organized into tissues and tissues into organs, for the purpose of the proper functioning of the plant and animal organism Understands and can refer to the basic categories of plant and animal organisms Understands and can develop the main functions of plant and animal cells Designs an organizational chart for teaching a specific thematic unit of Botany or Zoology chapters He collaborates with his fellow students for the creation and presentation of thematic seminars as well as the development of teaching sheets for thematic modules.

Α. COURSE DESCRIPTION

The cognitive objective of the course is to acquaint the students with the basic methods used in environmental education and in the information-awareness of citizens on environmental issues and in general environmental scientific literacy (environmental literacy), i.e. the understanding of the effect of each individual on environment (including climate) and the impact of environmental issues on the individual and society. An environmentally literate person: understands the basic principles of ecosystems, knows how to evaluate scientifically reliable information related to the environment and climate; communicates issues related to the environment and the climate crisis in a structured and reasoned way, is able to make informed and responsible decisions about actions that may affect the environment. Understanding the complexity and complexity of the relationships of organisms with each other and with their environment is a difficult but fascinating process, necessary not only for science but also for formulating proposals for rational sustainable management of the environment. In the era of global changes, in the era of the climate crisis, understanding the factors that lead to them but also the ways to avoid or at best adapt to it is extremely important. Students, upon successful completion of attending the lectures and collaborative activities of the course, are expected to have developed skills in collaborative inquiry/teamwork methods and practices for environmental and sustainability education, problem solving on key issues concerning deviations or even challenges to the ecological balance. In particular, they will familiarize themselves with the principles (PE as participation in/for the community, action orientation, the holistic approach, the fulfillment of the principles of the interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, the systemic approach to environmental issues, orientation to the development of values through their systematic analysis) and the methodology of Environmental Education and the teaching tools, conventional and digital (concept maps, academic debates, case studies, research, field, web 2.0 tools, etc.), which can be used for the implementation of a program pursuing aspects of environmental literacy goals.

Natural History Museums, including Zoology Museums, house rich collections of authentic organisms enabling students to observe and compare a range of species, as well as explore biological processes related to Biodiversity and Evolution. Thus, the exhibits could be used to clarify a range of biological concepts, always in collaboration with the school unit. Among the concepts that should be clarified is the degradation of biodiversity (in this particular case animal diversity) and the causes that lead to it. The majority of people do understand the problem of degradation, since it is a social-scientific one issue, does not react or participate in the various activities to save biodiversity due to incorrect information and education especially of children. The ways in which students can, through the exhibits, cultivate a

edures will be taught where children can make collections of animals that they can collect in their immediate environment. Children acting as researchers having the opportunity to be in a natural environment, will be able to look for specimens of butterflies, other insects and small living animals of all kinds. Upon completion of the course, the teacher will be able to open the doors of nature to the children without forcing them. It can provide the opportunity to explore nature and its substitutes in zoos or natural history museums. It will also have the potential to instill in children the understanding that all living creatures have the same home and that any disturbance or loss will lead to destruction. All under modern teaching approaches, in a way that is playful on the one hand and on the other hand creative and effective in terms of learning outcomes in the context of non-formal education.
