Implementation of Transformative Sustainability Learning into Engineering Curricular
Highlights
The key terms, which describe the current processes in the education, are transformations and sustainability
Only due to educational means it is possible to change thinking and cognition mode towards sustainability. As it is stated in UNESCO (2010) Global Action Program on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), the international acknowledgment of ESD as an essential part of a quality education is a priority for the modern system of education
This connection allows speaking about transformative sustainability learning (TSL) as a separate pedagogical strategy, which employs transdisciplinary, experiential, and placed-based learning
Summary
The key terms, which describe the current processes in the education, are transformations and sustainability. It is obvious that the valuable outcomes of ESD can be achieved through reflection, dialogues, contemplation, and creativity It implies that universities are responsible for a shift from a traditional transition of skills and knowledge by teaching and researching towards social needs as well as by generating new educational concepts such as student-centered, cooperative and transformative learning. Transformative learning and pedagogy can provide the extent of changes regarding the development of analytical, context-related, interdisciplinary, holistic and reflective thinking skills in students. To integrate the ESD values and principles into higher education, we have to be aware of teaching approaches transformations which should be focused on the processes of learning and skills development rather than the knowledge presentation and accumulation
