Sustainability Pedagogy

Our work with sustainability education and green transition in primary and lower secondary schools is based on knowledge created in close collaboration with students, teachers and school leaders, as well as with good colleagues across the country's educational and knowledge institutions.

The focus area, Sustainability Education, aims to create and disseminate knowledge about teaching that deals with climate, environment and sustainability. We focus on teachers‘ teaching and students’ learning, and we always work practice-oriented, i.e. in close and listening dialogue with students, teachers, managers, parents and other stakeholders in the ecology of each school.

This is to learn more about how schools' work with education for sustainable development (ESD) actually takes place in practice, and to refine and validate our empirical analyses from the practice perspective of the research participants.

We are particularly interested in how students and teachers experience the quality of climate, environmental and sustainability education in schools. This is in order to contribute research-based to the development of green didactic renewal of school subjects. In this context, we are interested in the learning and educational opportunities and barriers that students and teachers experience in the school's green teaching. Due to our work with practice-oriented participatory involvement, the experiences and voices of students and teachers form an empirical centre of gravity in our research.

Currently, in the research project ‘Green transition in primary schools’, we are working to investigate and develop pedagogical signs of quality green education that teachers, leaders, pedagogical consultants and municipal school administrators can use in their work with education for sustainable development.
