Research paper thumbnail of Integrated Approach to ESD towards Enhancing Knowledge on Sustainable Development

International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences, Nov 1, 2015

Sustainable Development (SD) is one the most discussed issue now days, which is gaining priority ... more Sustainable Development (SD) is one the most discussed issue now days, which is gaining priority day by day due to the exploitation of nature in a drastic way. It is from this apprehension that 'Education for sustainable development' (ESD) emerged with an immediate urge to preserve and conserve our nature and natural resources.The concept of ESD entangles the different countries and states across the world as a whole for a sustainable society, which merges the environment, economic and social dimensions. The paper discusses about the effect of integrated approach to education for sustainable development on the students'knowledge on sustainable development.The investigator developed acurriculum by integrating SD concepts into science and social science of VII standard of NCERT syllabus and various learning activities for their transaction by incorporating several pedagogical strategies that lead to constructing knowledge, developing social perspectives and analytical abilities.The study was of quasi experimental in nature withtwo group pre-test-post-test design, whereby the integratedcurriculum was taught to the experimental group for about five months and the control group was exposed to the conventional curriculum and methodology. It was found that there was a significant difference on the knowledge on sustainable development between experimental and control group. The experimental group had a higher mean knowledge score than the control group.On the basis of the findings from the study, it is concluded that there is a sheer need to highlight the importance of integration of SD components in pedagogy at all levels.

While projects including cars, vehicles and mobile robots are evidently appealing to young people, many other young people do not become fully engaged in these types of projects where development and usage of Educational Robotics (ER) are involved. By offering alternate pathways into robotics that can gain student's attention, we have a chance to engage a wider and more different people in new learning experiences. This paper explores approaches for exposing students to robotic technologies and ideas and explains the significance of implementing multiple ways into robotics, to ensure that there are entry points to engage people with diverse interests and learning styles.

The tasks included the different activities with robotic kits provided to the students in order to know the effectiveness of educational robotics on critical thinking skills in science. The research was carried out over 14 weeks period of time in elementary schools situated in Pune city of India.Two intact classes were taken for the study. The design of the study was quasi-experimentalwherein group was exposed to the robotics intervention while the other group, the control and was taught using conventional teaching method. The present study analysed posttest scores of students in the experimental group with students in a control group using analysis of covariance. After quantitative analysis of the findings, it was concluded that students in the experimental group with robotics intervention had a significant increase in mean scores on critical thinking in the posttest than the control group.

Rapid changes in technology, expansion of market, industrial policies of the Government, coming in of more multinationals due to liberalization have revolutionized the aspect of Vocational Education at present the object of vocational education can be achieved by adequate school management. When we talk about objectives of vocational education, we mean to prepare students for self-employment and develop them as skilled manpower. Vocationalisation of Secondary Education is important from the point of view of the economic development of the developing country like ours. Such an education will inculcate the habit of hard work and dignity of labor among the students. This programme will help to solve the problem of unemployment and prepare the way for self-employment. The Present paper is the outcomes of the study of vocational education in higher secondary schools of Bhopal division Bhopal Division comprises of Bhopal, Raisen, Vidhisha, Sehore and Rajgarh districts. Vocational Courses were introduced for the first time in 1988. According to the figures of 1996-1997 Vocational Courses introduced in thirty-one schools of Bhopal division. For study ten schools where vocational courses are running, selected by investigators randomly. Data collected with the help of various tools like questionnaire and interview schedules. Results of the study reveal that there is a need to strengthen vocational education in the region.

Literatures from various sources were reviewed to study the trend in the area. The reviewed literature and researches are categorized into i) studies on Environemental Education (EE) - one of the components of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), ii) studies related to issues on ESD, iii) studies on sustainable development, iv) studies on ESD and curriculum, v) studies on ESD and various learning approaches, vi) studies of ESD on the consequence variables like critical thinking, problem solving and values on ESD. From the studies, it was found that there is a huge gap between the theory and practice of sustainable development.
