This volume contains a unique compilation of research and
reflections representing multiple vantage points stemming from
different parts of the world that can help science educators and
teacher educators in finding ways to meaningfully and purposefully
embed sustainability into teaching and learning. It is a rich
resource for exploring and contextualizing sustainability-oriented
science education. At this time we find ourselves in a situation in
which the earth’s ecological system is under significant strain
as a result of human activity. In the developed world people are
asking “How can we maintain our current standard of living?”
while those in the developing world are asking “How can we
increase the quality of our lives?” all while trying to do what
is necessary to mitigate the environmental problems. This volume
responds to these questions with a focus on educating for
sustainability, including historical and philosophical analyses,
and pedagogical and practical applications in the context of
science teacher preparation. Included are many examples of ways to
educate science teachers for sustainability from authors across the
globe. This text argues that issues of sustainability are
increasingly important to our natural world, built world, national
and international economics and of course the political world. The
ideas presented in the book provide examples for original,
effective and necessary changes for envisioning educating science
teachers for sustainability that will inform policy makers.
