Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Education and Innovative Teaching Methods,” focuses on advanced methodologies and state-of-the-art research concerning the integration of sustainability in education and innovative pedagogical practices. It highlights how digital tools, artificial intelligence, and machine learning can revolutionize educational systems, enhancing both the delivery and substance of sustainable education.
The contribution topics of primary interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computational thinking in sustainable contexts;
- Computational science for environmental challenges;
- Educational robotics with a focus on sustainable development;
- STEAM approaches to integrating sustainability;
- Serious games and game-based learning for sustainability education;
- Digital tools and innovations promoting sustainable practices;
- AI and ML applications in environmental education;
- IoT and smart technologies for educational advancements;
- Remote lab technologies for distant learning on sustainability;
- Case studies on policy and practice in sustainable education;
- Contemporary pedagogical approaches to sustainability.
We are seeking submissions that not only propose new methods but also integrate these innovations within the framework of sustainability in education. Contributions may range from empirical research to theoretical models and case studies that address how these technologies can be effectively utilized to foster a sustainable future through education.
