German-Japanese Cooperation: DESD-Project The First Half of the Decade offers the opportunity for a mid-term review what is concerning the results of our common efforts in implementing ESD in education and how these have been formed and influenced by barriers and drivers. The community is still looking for doable approaches in implementing ESD. Considerable progress has been achieved in developing an ESD indicator framework at the national level, e.g. Asia-Pacific Guidelines for the Development of National ESD Indicators. Bangkok: UNESCO Bangkok, 2007. Website: http://www.unescobkk.org/fileadmin/user_upload/esd/documents/indicators/Guidelines.pdf But we are still lacking concepts focussed on integrative thinking in order to prepare students by real life situations for a sustainable future. Which are the reasons? Eight years ago we have tried to find answers by asking international experts on the difficulties with implementing the principle of sustainability in education: 1. Which are the OBSTACLES when doing so? 2. Which STUDENT QUALIFICATIONS will be necessary? 3. What priority steps should be taken next? The results have been published in Human Nature Articles - Vol. 5, No. 2, December, 2000, Three Questions on Education for Sustainable Development. The following survey will refer to some of these former results and look what has changed or what hasn't changed at all. At its best the survey will serve the community with an agenda focussed on the major goals of the DESD 2005- 2014. When the survey has been closed you’ll get the analysis report on demand. Until now the international votes have shown among other results that: a) the concept behind "sustainability" hasn't been explained sufficiently: most people still do not understand it. b) there is no real rethinking of education itself, only social aspects are added to EE Here is a link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Pz65qJJSmxiKIFOCGDrYgQ_3d_3d |
