Through the employment of story itself as medium, the discussion examines how story is currently used in educational settings. The next step is to posit story as a learning tooland curricular heavy-lifter through an introduction to the theory of Imaginative Education as proposed by Kieran Egan. A few examples are then offered before the curtain falls.  \nLe présent article vise à examiner le rôle du conte dans l’éducation. Par l’emploi du conte à titre de moyen d’éducation, nous analysons les façons actuelles de seservir du conte dans des contextes éducatifs. Nous posons ensuite comme postulat la valeur incommensurable du conte en tant qu’outil d’apprentissage par une introduction à la théorie de l’éducation par l’imagination proposée par Kieran Egan. Nous présentons enfin quelques exemples avant la chute du rideau.  \nKeywords: story, imagination, environmental education  \nIt is a late summer evening on a northern lake. On a rocky point at the edge of the forest is a campsite. Three paddlers, who have arrived here separately, gather round a dancing fire.  \nSophie has been on the trail for two weeks. The natural world has always been a necessary part of her life; it is where things just seem more real and life falls into familiar, comfortable rhythms. She believes the more-than-human 1 world is a teacher, and it is the need to share this with others that has led her to dedicate herself to environmental education. This trip, then, is not just about pleasure; Sophie has returned to the wilderness to rediscover, ground herself, and find some answers. She is not achieving what she would like in her work, and she questions whether she is making a difference. How does an environmental educator, caught in an environmentally incompatible education system, hope to make any impression on a world where consumption, individualism, and alienation prevail?  \nNext to Sophie is Terry. He is trying to dry his clothes. This being only the fourth day of his first canoeing trip, Terry is still discovering the challenges of the wilderness, not to mention the torment of sore muscles. Yet he still feels a deep sense of personal satisfaction. Like many Canadians,2 Terry is unhappy about the state of the planet and the lives he and his urban friends are leading. To his credit he is doing something about it; he has taken to heart his own theoretical  \n170 Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 15, 2010  \nwork on the association of imagination to education, including ecological education, and decided to go on this trip to see what he can learn from a wilderness experience.  \nDavid has been here almost a week. He makes an annual pilgrimage to this spot, a place he first came to as a child. A week in the bush has always been special, filled with activity and reflection, a holiday, but also a time for memories, and a last taste of summer before returning to the classroom. He had always wanted to be a teacher and, until this year, felt pretty good about it. Recently, however, a sense of unease has been growing that he can no longer ignore. He was spending more and more time on crowd control, trying to force curriculum into kids who seemed less and less interested. Had education abandoned the goal of being interesting and empowering? And to make matters worse, when he had tried something innovative, he had encountered resistance at all levels. All he’d wanted to do was to get the kids outside for an hour every day. So, here he was at his favourite place, thinking about his future as a teacher, and sharing with two strangers the hearth he and his father had built years ago.  \nOur three educators have come together by chance. One wonders what they will find to talk about. Come! Get a little closer to the fire, and let us listen as they tell their stories, and as story itself takes o","cbCaic1gsfbhfDb1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic1gsfbhfDb1","pdf",526889,15,"English","# Abstract\n## Role of story in education\n## Imaginative Education theory (Kieran Egan)\n## Use of examples\n## Closing","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To explore the role of story in education, including how story is used in educational settings.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper explain story’s value for learning?\",\"answer\":\"It proposes story as a learning tool and a curricular support by introducing Imaginative Education theory.\"},{\"question\":\"What content is included after the theoretical discussion?\",\"answer\":\"A few examples are offered before the paper concludes.\"}]","Storying Environmental Education - Abstract - Exploration of the role of story in education | PDF",1792085141,38]
