19. Environmental sciences comprise the
scientific disciplines, or parts of them,
that consider the physical, chemical,
and biological aspects of the
environment.
From:Encyclopedia of Ecology,2008

20. Environmental Science as a discipline understands the interactions of the
life-support system and the human sphere. Students in the Environmental
Science learn how humans interact with the environment,
particularly on issues and concerns with the aimreducing stress and
degradation of our life-support system –our environment.

21. Students in the Environmental Science are constantly challenged and
interested in the issues and problems confronting our environment.
Subjects in the Environmental Science always emphasize on what
causes these problems and how to respond to it applying the
Environmental Science discipline.

Science (Source: Miller and
Spoolman, 2009)

support system

34. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE APPROACH
⬧Multidisciplinary-contributes ideas or acts according
to his/her discipline without a clear interaction with the
work of other members of the team
⬧Interdisciplinary-integration of contributions from
various sciences for a holistic understanding of the
problem
⬧Transdisciplinary - does not recognize boundaries of
disciplines but a way of blending and collaboration of
different disciplines to understand a real-world problem

38. Perspectives (views)
⬧ANTHROPOCENTRISM -a human-centered perspective
on environment, i.e. non-human components of the
environment instruments or means to satisfy the needs
and wants of the humanity
⬧BIOCENTRISM - life-centered view of the environment
that puts equal importance on biological components,
i.e. are interdependent with other components of the
environment
⬧ECOCENTRISM -environment-centered or nature-
centered view, i.e. all these components are
interconnected.
