Synopsis

This work analyses the relationships between technology education (TE) and technical, vocational education and training (TVET) at the secondary school level in terms of empowering students for addressing issues of sustainable development in a responsible manner. It considers the contribution of TE and TVET in terms of education for sustainable development and lifelong learning. In this context ESD is conceptualised through moral, aesthetic and practical perspectives. Issues such as advancing girls through the use of particular projects, creating equal educational opportunities via use of ICT and enhancing employability and social responsibility are examined throughout the book. A number of practical strategies are proposed for meeting young peoples’ needs and to help in developing their social responsibility. A case study of Russia analysed the ‘Russian’ approach to sustainable development and education for sustainable development, illustrating processes relevant to TE and TVET.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The ways education for sustainable development can be addressed in teaching and learning are among the most urgent challenges for modern educational theory and practice. This book explores the unique contribution technology and vocational education can provide to meet these urgent needs. Part 1 examines various concepts from different areas of knowledge that are used to develop a comprehensive understanding of the ways sustainable development, education for sustainable development and empowerment are related and can be conceptualised. Practical strategies are suggested and a model for pre-service teacher training programs is developed. Part 2 explores how general issues are reflected in local norms, values and behaviours within the Russian context. The case study illustrates the importance of understanding the political and sociocultural context of a country in order to develop empowerment strategies that work for that particular society as they reflect specific local histories, values and traditions.
