Beyond critical education for sustainable consumption
Rethinking dialogue in environmental education
Ho-chia Chueh | National Taiwan University (Taiwan)
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.
Keywords: parental altruism, dialogue, critical consciousness, environmental education, sustainable consumption
