Description

This chapter explores integrating pedagogical approaches for sustainable teaching and learning, emphasizing the capacity to meet present requirements without compromising the future. It highlights the merits of experiential, inquiry-based, problem-based, and project-based methods in sustainable practices in education. Experiential learning emphasizes practical application and reflection, whereas inquiry-based learning promotes inquiry and exploration. Problem-based learning immerses students in real-world sustainability challenges and interdisciplinary collaboration, whereas project-based learning enables students to take on leadership roles. Integrating these techniques offers a variety of options for addressing complex environmental issues. Future obstacles include integrating technology and ensuring equitable access. Integrated educational practices require learner-centred approaches, collaboration, and continuous feedback, empowering students to become proactive sustainability advocates and promoting positive change for a sustainable future. 2024, IGI Global.
