Competences in Education for Sustainable Development
This volume highlights key moments and movements in this "competence turn" in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and explores the different ways in which competences have been conceptualized and implemented. By marshaling a dialogue between chapters and sections, the book provides a coherent whole that will become a key source on ESD competences. The contributors develop a conceptual map against which to chart existing (and future) ESD competence frameworks, offer new critical case studies that explore the implementation of educator competences in ESD at different structural levels in different European contexts, explore the link between pedagogy and educator competence through hit...
High-Quality Outdoor Learning
This open access book reviews evidence and case studies on the effects of outdoor learning on teachers and learners. It shows how real-world learning outside the classroom contributes to unlocking the full potential of learners, demonstrating its benefits for academic learning, social competencies, personal and emotional development, psychological well-being, and physical activity and health. In addition, the book highlights how outdoor learning nurtures environmental awareness and helps learners to tackle current sustainability challenges. Its focus on high-quality learning makes it a unique contribution to the implementation of SDG 4. Aimed at lecturers at teacher training universities, teachers, professional educators, coaches, and multipliers who train staff of educational NGOs, as well as decision makers on all levels of education systems, this book is of interest to all those who seek a more in-depth understanding of the future of education.
Teacher Education in the 21st Century
How can teacher education prepare future teachers for their work in increasingly diverse classrooms? How does the concept of plurilingualism inform language educational policy in different countries? What are the current opportunities and challenges in the domain of internationalisation in teacher education? The contributions to this volume address these questions from different theoretical perspectives, and with a strong emphasis on the actual practices in various classrooms. At a time when simplistic, essentialist, biased, and discriminatory ideologies and practices see a rebirth in public discourse, and represent a risk to education, the contributors here take stock and describe some wort...
Environmental Ethics
This well-constructed, and highly original, sourcebook integrates educational materials for teaching environmental ethics with theoretical reflections. The book is set to contribute immensely to its aim of taking ethics out of philosophy departments and putting it into the streets, into villages, and on the Earth—to make ethics an everyday activity, not something left to experts and specialists. Context-based activities are presented in almost every chapter. While it acknowledges foundational theories in environmental ethics, and the work that they continue to do, it wholeheartedly embraces a growing body of literature that emphasises contextual, process-oriented, and place-based approache...

Sustainable Development in International Law Making and Trade
This timely book provides an accessible insight into how the concept of sustainable development can be made operational through its translation into legal terms. Understood as a multidimensional legal principle, sustainable development facilitates coherent international law making. Using this notion as an analytical lens on the WTO Agreement on Agriculture, the book considers the unresolved question of what a sustainable and coherent agricultural trade agreement could look like.
Empirische Forschung zur Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung – Themen, Methoden und Trends
Die AutorInnen geben einen Überblick zu Schwerpunktthemen, Methoden und Trends in der empirischen Forschung zu Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) – einem Bereich, der sich in den letzten Jahren immer weiter ausdifferenziert und verfestigt hat: Inzwischen ist die BNE innerhalb der Bildungsforschung als eigenständiges Feld mit eigenen Strukturen, Publikationsorganen und Netzwerken etabliert.
Lokale Bildungslandschaften auf Nachhaltigkeitskurs
Steffen Hamborg bietet kenntnisreiche Einblicke in die kommunale Governance des BNE-Transfers im Kontext der UN-Dekade ‚Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung‘ (2005-2014). Im Sinne einer kritisch-reflexiven Governance-Forschung zielt seine Arbeit auf die Rekonstruktion der Muster, die das Zusammenwirken der an der Verbreitung und Verankerung von BNE beteiligten Akteure prägen. Mittels einer komparativen Diskursanalyse identifiziert und kontrastiert die Untersuchung formalstrukturell-legitimationssuchende, subsidiaritätsorientierte und distinktionsorientierte Modi der Aneignung und Koordination von BNE in lokalen Bildungslandschaften.
