Emerging Technologies in Education for Sustainable Development

摘要: According to Brundtland (1987) and Gladwin et al.(1995), the core of sustainable development is “to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” We can also consider that today’s behavior will affect whether the needs in future can be met or not. For example, when a resource is used up by humans because of overconsumption (ie, behavior), the need of the resource will not able be met in the future. On the other hand, human’s behavior can also be considered as the result of learning. Therefore, education plays a key role in sustainable development in terms of changing human’s behavior. This entry aims to review how technologies can be used to support education for sustainable development purposes. More specifically, we will focus on how and what technologies can be used to change human behavior to achieve sustainable development goals and how the changes can be evaluated.
