50 Years of JBE: From Science and Environmental
Education to Civic Science
The challenges facing the world now seem very different to those we faced 50 years ago.
As a result, we need radically different forms of education and engagement, which
require a convergence of science education and environmental education as well as more
action-oriented participatory pedagogies. Back in 1967, in the first JBE editorial, Otto
Lowenstein identified one of the key roles of biological education as helping equip
humanity ‘for physical survival by means of entirely new methods of food production and
through biologically sound and safe population control’ (Lowenstein, 1967, i). The
challenges of the 1960s were seen, to use Fox and Gibson’s (2013) typology, as at best
simple and at worst complex.
