Eilam, Efrat ORCID: 0000-0001-6076-6487 and Trop, Tamar (2011) ESD Pedagogy: A Guide for the Perplexed. The Journal of Environmental Education, 42 (1). pp. 43-64. ISSN 0095-8964

Abstract

The present article addresses issues regarding implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within the formal education systems. In particular, it aims at identifying the basic essential components of ESD pedagogy. We present a theoretical pedagogical framework based on accumulating theory and experience in the field. The framework aspires to encompass the majority of prevailing pedagogies within a simple set of four basic principles. It will be argued that the four principle pedagogies are basic and indispensable prerequisites for achieving the goals of ESD. As such, lack of one suffices to undermine the ESD's pedagogical construct.
