Sustainability is a broad discipline that provides opportunities to teach several aspects of our planet, business, technology, various cultures and communities to learners of all ages. Students gain the knowledge, skills, and abilities in the areas of hard and soft sciences while contributing to the process of attaining a sustainable future through collective efforts of humanity. The Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) followed by Global Action Programme (GAP), mainly led by United Nations and member states, seeks to accelerate progress toward sustainable development (SD) by extending good examples of ESD. Reorienting existing educational programmes to address sustainability sets ground for pioneer examples of instruction to get a foothold for further implementation. During DESD (2004-2014) many countries and stakeholders took part in reorienting education at all levels of their education system and carried out curriculum development activities.

AN ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM IN TERMS OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A CASE FROM TURKEY Turkmen, C.; Teksöz, Gaye; Boz, Yezdan (2017-01-01) Sustainable development (SD) has been one of the overarching objectives of the United Nations. Member countries and stakeholders are reorienting education at all levels of the system to overcome the environmental, social and economic challenges that the world faces, and to achieve a sustainable future. There has been a strong increase in the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into secondary education; however, research is needed to assess the relevance of the curriculum to meet the e...
An analysis of course characteristics, learner characteristics, and certification rates in MITx MOOCs Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Çelik, Berkan (Athabasca University Press, 2020-01-01) Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), capable of providing free (or low cost) courses for millions of learners anytime and anywhere, have gained the attention of researchers, educational institutions, and learners worldwide. Even though they provide several benefits, there are still some criticisms of MOOCs. For instance, MOOCs' high dropout rates or predominantly elite participation are considered to be important problems. In order to develop solutions for these problems, a deeper understanding of MOOCs is ...
Developing the systems thinking skills of pre-service science teachers through an outdoor ESD course SEMİZ, GÜLİZ KARAARSLAN; Teksöz, Gaye (2019-11-08) The purpose of this study is to explore the development of pre-service science teachers' systems thinking skills through an outdoor education for sustainable development (ESD) course. The study was composed of four stages, which are defining systems thinking skills, designing an outdoor ESD course, developing measurement tools, and implementation. Twelve systems thinking skills were determined within the ESD and science education context. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and systems thinki...
Analysis of science curriculum and textbooks in terms of sustainable development goals: a case study Tatlılıoğlu, Eda; Teksöz, Gaye; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019) Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will provide individuals to gain the perspectives of value, ethics, foreseen and long-term decision making on our future. Necessary knowledge and behavior related to Sustainable Development (SD) can be acquired with the help of education. Curriculum, on the other hand, can help students gain competences related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as guide them to achieve the goals of SD. Accordingly, equipping individuals of the future citizens with co...
