This article first presents Environmental Life-Cycle Analysis (E-LCA) as a complete learning experience for university students of environmental science/engineering, enabling the acquisition of the four levels of knowledge, of the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy. The four steps of an E-LCA, interestingly, mirror the hierarchy of knowledge-levels defined by the SOLO taxonomy. In the light of the fact that it is generally difficult to accomplish this ascent from declarative knowledge to functional knowledge, in a systematic manner, in many university courses, the complete learning experience guaranteed by E-LCA must stand out conspicuously.

PL

W artykule przedstawiono środowiskową ocenę cyklu życia (E-LCA) traktowaną jako kompletne doświadczenie edukacyjne dla studentów uczelni wyższych kierunków nauki o środowisku/inżynieria, pozwalające na zdobycie wiedzy na czterech poziomach ze Struktury Obserwowanych Efektów Kształcenia (SOLO). Cztery kroki E-LCA, odzwierciedlają hierarchię poziomów wiedzy z klasyfikacji SOLO. Wobec faktu, że ogólnie rzecz biorąc trudno jest osiągnąć przejście z wiedzy deklaratywnej do funkcjonalnej, w kwestiach systematycznych, dla wielu kursów uniwersyteckich, pełne doświadczenie edukacyjne gwarantowane przez E-LCA zdecydowanie się wyróżnia.
