ABSTRACT

There are increasing pressures within the higher education sector to incorporate digital pedagogies into teaching and learning, a trend amplified by recent extensive recourse to online delivery within the sector. This trend carries with it both opportunities and challenges in effectively fostering those graduate competences that a converging consensus identifies as essential for sustainability education to nurture. The challenge for educators is to design programs capable of fostering a range of competences fit for wicked sustainability problems. The principal objective of this paper is to review the literature regarding the competences that would adequately equip graduates of sustainability coursework programs with substantial online delivery components for a professional environment of uncertainty, complexity, and wicked problems. From the review of scholarship focused on competences for online experiential learning, sustainability education and wicked problems solving, we assemble a set of precepts to guide the design of effective learning outcomes, settings and pedagogies for an approach to sustainability education that better prepares students for such a challenging environment. While the precepts apply to sustainability education generally, we argue that they provide particular guidance for educators concerned with e-learning. We also present educational, social and technological enablers to underpin design, development and delivery processes.

摘要

高等教育部门内将数字教学法纳入教学的压力越来越大，这一趋势因该部门最近广泛采用在线交付而放大。这一趋势在有效培养毕业生能力方面带来了机遇和挑战，一致的共识认为这些能力对于培养可持续发展教育至关重要。教育工作者面临的挑战是设计能够培养一系列适合严重可持续性问题的能力的计划。本文的主要目的是回顾有关能力的文献，这些能力可以为可持续性课程项目的毕业生充分配备大量在线交付组件，以应对充满不确定性、复杂性和棘手问题的专业环境。从专注于在线体验式学习、可持续发展教育和解决棘手问题的能力的奖学金审查中，我们汇集了一套准则来指导有效学习成果、环境和教学法的设计，从而为可持续教育方法更好地为学生做好准备。充满挑战的环境。虽然这些戒律普遍适用于可持续性教育，但我们认为它们为关注电子学习的教育者提供了特定的指导。我们还展示了教育、社会和技术推动因素，以支持设计、开发和交付流程。可持续教育方法的设置和教学法，使学生更好地为这种具有挑战性的环境做好准备。虽然这些戒律普遍适用于可持续性教育，但我们认为它们为关注电子学习的教育者提供了特定的指导。我们还提供教育、社会和技术推动因素，以支持设计、开发和交付流程。可持续教育方法的设置和教学法，使学生更好地为这种具有挑战性的环境做好准备。虽然这些戒律普遍适用于可持续性教育，但我们认为它们为关注电子学习的教育者提供了特定的指导。我们还展示了教育、社会和技术推动因素，以支持设计、开发和交付流程。
