Abstract

This article is aimed at theoretical comprehension of foreign and domestic experience in designing and implementing education for sustainable development and creating a technological model of advanced education in a technical university in the interests of sustainable development. Constructing a technological model that includes an integrated system of pedagogical technologies aimed at the formation of personal achievements and opportunities. Each student constructs and reconstructs their own capabilities based on reflection, which can act as a universal goal of using the models of anticipatory learning technologies, being also the result of anticipatory education. The analysis shows that the transition to sustainable development starts with forming a strategy implemented in education for sustainable development. The study considers the basics of the modern vision of sustainable development: the environmental component and education model. Moreover, the education model is considered from the perspective of the future as a forwardlooking education. The paper uses methods of analysis of philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical research and synthesis of theoretical ideas on the problem of conceptualization, design, and modeling, which allowed highlighting the main trends of scientific search in the world and domestic theory and practice of advanced education in terms of its sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development is considered from different positions of domestic and foreign researchers. Experience of education for sustainable development implementation both in Russia and other countries of the world shows that so far, sustainable development in education is represented in the environmental sense; therefore modeling of system concept of education for sustainable development and optimal ways of its implementation is actualized.

Highlights

  • Aggravation of global problems, as well as the increase of negative processes in socialecological and economic spheres in the modern world, may cause a catastrophe of planetary scale

  • Among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Goal 4 was singled out: "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all". This goal is presented as a new vision for world education to transform lives through education, recognizing the important role of education as a key driver of development and the other goals proposed by the SDGs

  • Summarizing our theoretical research, we consider Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as a new educational system proposed from the position of advanced education, designed to educate a person with a new type of thinking, which will allow bringing the rapidly developing world in line with the opportunities of the environment

Summary

Introduction

Aggravation of global problems, as well as the increase of negative processes in socialecological and economic spheres in the modern world, may cause a catastrophe of planetary scale. The methods and means of dealing with global crises should aim to anticipate or prevent the effects of local social, environmental, or economic problems in the world. In 1983, the International Commission on Environment and Development was established by a UN General Assembly resolution. As a result of the work of this commission, a sustainable development strategy was defined that integrated several components of the environment, namely nature, society, and ecology. The concept of sustainable development in its modern meaning was first formulated in 1987 in the report of the International Commission on Environment and Development "Our Common Future" (Brundtland Commission, chaired by the Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland). "Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". [1] This definition of sustainable development has become the most common since its actual adoption at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. [2]
