Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Dutch term or phrase: Instituut voor (Ecologische) Pedagogiek
Dag allemaal,

Ik ben samen met de klant op zoek naar een mooie vertaling voor het Instittuut voor (Ecologische) Pedagogiek, en de bijbehorende master.

http://www.masters.hu.nl/AlleMasteropleidingen/Master Ecolog...

Ecologisch staat tussen haakjes, en verwijst niet naar 'het milieu' of 'duurzaamheid', maar naar de mens als product van processen, het volledige systeem rond een kind.
Dus het is in elk geval géén 'ecological education'.

Enig idee?

Dank!

Explanation:
Having looked at the course description, I wonder why Holistische Pedagogiek was not chosen as the title in Dutch. It is true that Holistics usually has a more medical connotation but at least that connotation brings to bear a focus on the individual person in relation to the whole, with the whole being more than the sum of its parts. In contrast, Ecological brings to mind waste products, soil cultivation, "clean" fuel, ozone layers and a host of other considerations which are focussed on the environment but not necessarily on the individual.

agree  Olly Pekelharing: Though I also wonder why they use 'ecologische'. Methinks it's a new buzzword in Dutch social science... I know what you mean, who could have dreamt we'd have to add 'ecologisch = holistic' to our glossaries!!

  -> Thanks, Olly - Do you think there's a hope they could change it?

agree  Tina Vonhof: I wouldn't add it to the glossary though....
