It focuses on the Wonder of Nature project, which is running in partnership with the National Trust. A key feature of the research is to explore ways of blending emotional responses to nature, such as sensing beauty and happiness and one\u2019s respect for nature, with cognitive aspects such as gaining knowledge about nature. Traditional ways of \u2018teaching facts\u2019 about nature can be off-putting, but when this knowledge is presented appropriately it can be as engaging and motivating as emotional approaches.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244scxw105153624\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244normaltextrun\"><b>What are the key messages of your talk?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244normaltextrun\">Emotional and cognitive engagement with the natural world are both important to us as human beings.\u00a0But\u00a0research about these two aspects tends to reside in two different bodies of literature.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0time to blend them together to give people a more fully rounded and satisfying experience of the wonder of nature!<\/span><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244scxw105153624\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244normaltextrun\"><b>What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244normaltextrun\">\u00a0We hope the findings from this project will help people discover ways to engage with nature in a more enjoyable and informed way.<\/span><span class=\"m_-7534923021549277244eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engaging people with nature: do we want to engage emotionally or cognitively?\u00a0 Tues 5th November 2019 Professor Marcus Grace (Southampton Education School), 12:00-13:00, 2097, Building 32, Highfield Campus.\u00a0 What is your talk about?\u00a0This talk looks at ways of helping people to become more\u00a0engaged\u00a0and connected with nature.
