商品描述

This book shares with an international audience of teachers, scholars, and policymakers the experience of pedagogical practices to facilitate sustainability in the world. Sustainability is seen here as a journey toward the end state of sustainable development. Therefore, the authors contribute different roads to engage teachers and students with pedagogical discourse. Overall, the book demonstrates the value of powerful knowledge through action-oriented learning based on a bottom-up process. Consequently, pedagogical practices are understood as the instructional approaches based on a social constructivist model in which active learning is performed with student-to-student engagement.

Secondary teachers in social sciences and university professors in geography find the study to be a valuable source of stimulation for incorporating new ideas and resolving common problems in their learning and teaching environments. Education policymakers around the world also benefit from theonly publication that presents international perspectives on geographical knowledge related to sustainability.

The contributing authors are experienced scientists in the field of geography education who are giving special attention to pedagogical practices that promote new directions toward sustainable thinking.

This book is the first outcome of an international collaboration officially established in 2023 between the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Texas State University and the Department of Geography at the University of Bayreuth.

本書與國際的教師、學者和政策制定者分享促進全球可持續性的教學實踐經驗。可持續性在此被視為通往可持續發展最終狀態的旅程。因此,作者們提供了不同的途徑,以促使教師和學生參與教學話語。整體而言,本書展示了透過基於自下而上的行動導向學習所獲得的強大知識的價值。因此,教學實踐被理解為基於社會建構主義模型的教學方法,其中進行了以學生互動為基礎的主動學習。

社會科學的中學教師和地理學的大学教授發現這項研究是激發新想法和解決他們學習與教學環境中常見問題的寶貴資源。全球的教育政策制定者也從這本唯一呈現與可持續性相關的地理知識的國際觀點的出版物中受益。

參與的作者是地理教育領域的經驗豐富的科學家,他們特別關注促進可持續思維新方向的教學實踐。

本書是2023年德州州立大學地理與環境研究系與拜羅伊特大學地理系之間正式建立的國際合作的首個成果。
