Description

Sustainability, Human Well-Being, and the Future of Education explores the key dimensions of a future education system designed to enable individuals, schools, and communities to achieve the twin twenty-first century challenges of sustainability and human well-being. The traditional Western education system, which prepared students for a predictable workforce, is no longer sufficient in today's rapidly changing world. The authors propose new approaches to preparing learners for a new frontier of the human experience, fraught with risks but full of opportunity. The book examines various aspects of learning and education system design through the lenses of sustainability and human well-being, using case studies from Finland and the US. The authors draw on their scholarly research and experience as practitioners to evaluate how our understanding and practice of education must transform in response to digitalization, globalization, and climate change. By exploring the intersection of education and sustainability, this open access book offers valuable insights into the future of education and the role it can play in shaping a more sustainable and human-centered world.
