- Description
- There is no definitive or consensual Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) pedagogy but there is a suite of techniques which, if examined, will reveal similar features and principles. For example, in its ESD sourcebook, Unesco (2012) highlights pedagogies featuring question-orientated, analytical, critical and decisive skills, as well as relational pedagogies with features such as learner-centredness and participation. In its later Roadmap for Implementing the Global Action Programme for Education for Sustainable Development, Unesco calls for pedagogies that support the designing of ‘teaching and learning in an interactive, learner-centred way that enables exploratory, action-oriented and transformative learning’ (Unesco 2014: 12). An international collaborative group–ESD Expert-Net–highlighted the ‘active’ element of ESD arguing that ‘action’ or ‘doing’ elements of learning have traditionally been neglected, and that if ESD practice is to address local and global challenges ‘a strong action component’ is needed (Hoffmann and Rajeswari nd: 9). The notion of ‘active learning’has been of central interest in the Fundisa for Change project. This chapter describes its trajectory of development and use in South African ESD by outlining core features and principles for active learning. This is with a view to positioning the further chapters in this section of the book in relation to national and international research that has influenced the approach of Fundisa for Change. The chapter also serves to inform international interests in active learning.
