One of the most difficult things to a better comprehension of EE nature is the character of social representation that acts on environment, and, when seen from other areas’ professionals, also on education. Researched persons revealed professional practices strongly connected to their representations. Environment means, for them, place of relations and the relations themselves. The representations act in their lives as engagement, meaning the search for acting on the supposed causes of environmental problems.
Biophilia - the innate tendency of human beings to focus on and to affiliate with natural life emotionally occurs spontaneously in school children. In this study we hypothesized that the development of biophilia is fa168 cilitated by an active silence training (AST). In AST silent observation is used as a means to achieve self-knowledge, while games are used as away of evoking fascination, i.e. to help directed attention to rest and to be restored. Therefore an experimental protocol was set up with aim to assess how effective the AST would be in restoring the attention of 120 children of a primary school in Aosta (Italy). The results show that the experimental group’s performance on the attention test improved as a result of the AST, without affecting neither systolic nor diastolic blood pressure. Hence, AST seems to be a good way to restore children’s attentional capacity.
