Description
Introduction The knowledge of sustainable development is multidisciplinary in its nature and is covered by various bodies of sciences. In recent years, 'sustainable development' has become a central theme of the world environmental discourse, while challenging academic, public, private and civil spheres. As a result, sustainable development poses a challenge for pedagogy in all fields. As for its nature, sustainable development should not be treated monolithically in the educational system but in a more holistic manner. Truly, Cortese (2006: p. 5) suggests, "Designing a sustainable human nature requires a paradigm shift toward a systemic perspective emphasizing interdisciplinary understanding, collaboration, and cooperation that must be led by higher education." Yet, a striking weakness of the scholarship on the subject is its lack of multifaceted theorizing and the fact that it typically overlooks the multidisciplinary and complex nature of sustainability. Therefore, this paper aims to present a conceptual framework for teaching sustainability in various disciplines. The framework is composed of various concepts, where all of them present a holistic view of sustainability. This paper suggests an interdisciplinary approach for learning sustainability.
