Le rôle des enseignants dans l’éducation et la démocratie: Impacts d’un projet de recherche sur la perception de futurs enseignants Year of publication: 2015 Author: Gina Thésée | Paul R. Carr | Franck Potwora Corporate author: McGill University. Faculty of Education Cet article étudie les réflexions suscitées par un questionnaire d’enquête portant sur les liens entre l’éducation et la démocratie. Un échantillon de 157 étudiants d’un programme de formation initiale des enseignants à Montréal a répondu à un questionnaire de suivi (seconde étude) après avoir rempli un questionnaire d’enquête (première étude) portant sur leurs perceptions et leurs expériences des liens entre l’éducation et la démocratie. La première étude révèle une expérience démocratique faible et un parcours éducatif pratiquement sans lien avec la démocratie, ce qui concorde avec les résultats d’études antérieures. Cependant, les résultats du questionnaire de suivi indiquent que la participation à l’enquête a suscité des réflexions d’ordre socioéducatif, épistémologique, pédagogique et méthodologique, qui pourraient avoir des retombées significatives sur leur perception du rôle de l’enseignant.

Accelerating Education for the SDGs in Universities: A Guide for Universities, Colleges, and Tertiary and Higher Education Institutions Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) The aim of this guide is to help accelerate the institutional process of mainstreaming ESDGs in universities, by helping stakeholders within and outside universities understand why they should pursue this goal, and how. It aims to expand, update and refine the information provided in the previous guide based on new resources, tools, thinking, and learnings from universities working to implement ESDGs, to consider what ESDGs mean for universities. The guide touches on the pedagogical aspects of ESDGs, in terms of how they affect institutional approaches to ESDGs, but does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of them. The Guide outlines the case for mainstreaming education for the SDGs at universities, what this does and could look like in practice, and the processes and activities universities can take to support implementation. It also provides practical guidance, resources, and case studies to inspire universities to take action and deepen their practice.

Implementing Pedagogical Approaches for ESD in Initial Teacher Training at Spanish Universities (Sustainability 2019; Vol. 11, No. 18) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Sílvia Albareda-Tiana | Esther García-González | Rocío Jiménez-Fontana | Carmen Solís-Espallargas Corporate author: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) Within the framework of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, four case studies of the degree in Primary Education at three Spanish universities are analyzed. The aim is to study the suitability of three different active teaching-learning strategies: problem-based learning (PBL), project-oriented learning (POL), and a cross-disciplinary workshop. Another goal is to promote the integration of education for sustainable development (ESD) and measure the level of acquisition of several competencies of sustainability and the change in consumption habits of future teachers after implementing those pedagogical approaches. Initial and final ecological footprint (EF) as well as a rubric to measure the level of acquisition of competencies of sustainability were used as data collection instruments. The conclusions related to the research objectives show that when sustainability is implemented in the curriculum through active teaching-learning strategies, future teachers acquire competencies of sustainability. They also reveal that said strategies contribute to a change in consumption habits as a reduction in the EF is observed. There exists a relation between EF reduction and high levels of acquisition of competency in sustainability.
