Background
and Objectives
Educational
Geological walk trails in the urban environment are proposed as a successful
interdisciplinary teaching approach to Geosciences in secondary education.
Geological walk trail through Palaio Faliro, using techniques entailed in the
scientific/educational methodology by inquiry, contributes in forming citizens
who are active, responsible and aware of contemporary environmental issues,
such as natural disaster management and natural resource exploitation
(Kontokostas et al. 2020).
The
designed geological walk trail is a practical endorsement in which the students
will use fieldwork skills to identify a variety of rocks and geological
materials in the built environment, as well as learn about geological features
in the area.
The
research area is located between Palaio Faliron and Alimos-Kalamaki, nearby
Pikrodafni stream, along the coastline from Athens to Vouliagmeni. In this area
the pre-Miocene basement of the HP metamorphic units of the lower plate and the
un- or weakly metamorphosed units of the upper plate are covered by Neogene
marine formations and Quaternary deposits (Papanikaloaou et al. 1999, &
Papanikaolaou et al. 2004).
Research
Methodology
This work
follows the research steps outlined by inquiry–based learning: a) trigger of
interest, b) reminding of basic knowledge/formulation of hypotheses, c)
experimentation/trials, d) formulation of conclusions, e)
applications/generalization according to learning (Bakopoulou et al. 2016). The
designed walk trail includes: Faliron War Cemetery - Estuary of Pikrodafni
stream - Riverbed of Pikrodafni (figure 1). We conducted our educational
research with an experimental group of students of secondary school of Attica
located near geolocially interesting areas.
Results and
Conclusions
The
findings of our study are compared to a control group of students from the same
secondary school in Attica as the experimental group. There is a remarkable
improvement in students’ comprehension, creativity, cooperation and critical
thinking. They learned about the Pikrodafni, they recognized white marble of
Pendeli, green Tinos’ marble, grey marble from Thasos, granite, Botticino
limestone and fossiliferous limestone. The most intriguing aspect of the study
was when the students realized that the complexity of the natural world is the
result of the combinations of few simple procedures.
