The Future of Education
Geanina Magdalena Sitar
Institution: Doctoral School “Education, Reflection, Development”, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Babes-Bolyai University;
Country: Romania
Geanina-Magdalena Sitar holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master's degree in Ecology from the Faculty of Biology and Geology at Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Her academic background is rooted in entomological studies, with a particular focus on Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), a subject that continues to inform and shape her current scientific pursuits.
Since 2022, she has been undertaking doctoral studies in Education Sciences, with a research focus on the integration and impact of ecological education within Romanian primary and secondary school curricula. Her doctoral work explores the pedagogical potential of insect biodiversity as a vehicle for environmental education, aiming to design evidence-based instructional tools and teaching methodologies that support educators in incorporating entomological content into classroom practice.
Her research adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, synthesizing insights from biology, ecology, and educational theory. Through this approach, she contributes meaningfully to the refinement of environmental education frameworks and to the promotion of biodiversity literacy among students and teachers alike.
In addition to her academic work, Geanina-Magdalena collaborates with educators and educational institutions to develop resources that highlight native insect species and encourage experiential, inquiry-based learning. Her areas of expertise include insect ecology, environmental education, science communication, and curriculum development, all of which underpin her commitment to fostering ecological awareness through education.
Areas of expertise: Insect ecology, biodiversity education, curriculum development, science communication, entomology, environmental education
