Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global issues facing today's society, such as poverty, inequality, armed conflicts, and climate change, require a rapid transformation, which must be promoted by all social institutions, especially those of an educational nature.
Education and innovation have a common purpose: to form more aware people and societies capable of tackling environmental, economic, and social problems through scientific and technological advances. On the other hand, didactics, as a discipline in theoretical–practical pedagogy, plays a crucial role in education for sustainable development (ESD). Active teaching methods facilitate a deeper understanding of socioeconomic and environmental issues, encouraging students to reflect and act sustainably.
Innovation, didactics, and ESD are determined by teacher training in competencies such as critical thinking, system thinking, foresight, individual action, collective action, and collaboration. If teachers have these skills it will be possible to educate committed citizens who contribute to sustainability, and it will be possible to carry out responsible actions in favor of a just society, environmental integrity, and economic viability. It is, therefore, necessary to innovate educational practices by implementing, developing, and evaluating processes to improve the quality of learning.
Given the need to promote changes in the conception of the educational process, this Special Issue is published in collaboration with the "1st International Congress on Innovation, Didactics and Education for Sustainability" (CIIDES-2024). It is, therefore, open to participants in the Congress and any researcher or teacher who has not participated in this event and is interested in educational research at the theoretical and practical levels.
People from all areas of knowledge and educational stages can share their knowledge and experiences on education for sustainable development. Manuscripts with an emphasis on the following themes are invited:
- Educational innovation for sustainable development.
- Initial teacher training for sustainable development.
- Teacher training with a gender focus.
- Professional development/continuous training for sustainability.
- Leadership and educational management for sustainability.
- Key/transversal competencies for sustainable development.
- Specific competencies for sustainable development.
- Psychology and education for sustainable development.
- University curricula and sustainability.
- Evaluation and quality of education.
- Active teaching-learning methods for ESD.
- ICT and education for sustainable development.
- Inclusive education and sustainability.
- Innovative educational experiences for sustainability.
