Higher levels of material well-being lead almost inevitably to giving priority to
individualism and personal advancement, often at the expense of civic conscience. A proposal
for integrating sustainability into the curriculum is presented in the third year of the degree in Early
Childhood Education at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC). Projects on sustainable
food are planned and elaborated to this aim. This study seeks to apply a global and systemic
approach to solving socio-environmental problems and to check whether education for sustainable
development (ESD) helps to develop and encourage actions that promote sustainable development.
Quantitative research was conducted using a pre-test/post-test quasi experimental design separated
by a period of didactic training in the project method. The results presented in this article show the
students’ sustainability competencies (SC) improve after working on didactic proposals in a global
manner. It is concluded that elaborating competencies in education for sustainable development
enables an integrated approach of knowledge, procedures, attitudes and values in teaching through
promoting the project method in multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams, which enhances
future teachers’ sustainability competencies. |
