- Description: This paper describes part of a current international research capacity-building project in South Africa. In the project a research-based approach to professional development is adopted, one in which participants develop detailed case studies relating to their own changing practices in environmental education. It is argued that such an approach is consistent with the highly contextual nature of the field of environmental education. The article describes a central three-day 'moment' in the project, drawing on this experience to consider a number of issues concerning participatory research and the role of case study in professional development.

- Description: This edition of the SAJEE focuses on EEASA' s conference-and-workshops held in July 1995, at Kearsney College in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. ln the 1994 issue we invited readers to explore Progress and Paradox, as a conference theme reflecting a new perspective on education and environment. We received a very positive response and the conference featured an excellent range of papers. From amongst the many worthy contributions the reviewers selected those papers that addressed the theme most directly, for publication in this, arguably EEASA' s best journal yet.

- Description: In 1993 environmental education was looking forward to the first democratic election in South Africa - now it is in the midst of 'reconstructionand-development'. For many local environmental educators, this means a contrihution, in one way or another, to the new national curriculum. But the challenges of 1993 continue: processes of participative curriculum development are forcing us to clarify different orientations to environmental education in our efforts to shape a curriculum based on the best of our various visions.
