Abstract

The escalating planetary crises of human-induced climate change, the depletion of natural resources, and declining biodiversity call for urgent actions to be taken at all levels of society and by the global community. The current political strategy for a sustainable future that emphasizes economic and technological progress is insufficient to bring about the change required; an educational approach based on identities, values, ethics, and new worldviews is also needed. In this article Arto O. Salonen and his coauthors consider the kind of pedagogy that could support a transformation of the human conception of reality into a form that both recognizes the connections and interactions between people, society, and the planet, and imparts an ethical orientation to action that strengthens the health and integrity of all entities. A theory of planetary social pedagogy (PSP) is based on traditional social pedagogy, which provides a theoretical framework for formal, nonformal, and informal education. PSP aims at building a deep holistic understanding of the relationship between the individual, society, and Earth by integrating the fragmented human conception and experience of reality by uniting the three dimensions of a social-ecological worldview: spatial, temporal, and ethical. Moreover, PSP is a cyclical learning process that alternates between cognitive, metacognitive, and epistemic levels of learning. The ultimate goal of using PSP is to lay the foundation for a fundamental transformation of the ideals, values, and culture that shape human behavior in ways necessary for securing a sustainable future.

行星社会教育学理论
人为引起的气候变化、自然资源枯竭和生物多样性下降等全球性危机不断升级,要求社会各阶层和国际社会采取紧急行动。目前强调经济和技术进步的可持续未来的政治战略不足以带来所需的变革;还需要一种基于身份、价值观、伦理和新世界观的教育方法。在这篇文章中,Arto O. Salonen和他的合著者考虑了一种教学法,这种教学法可以支持将人类对现实的概念转变为一种既认识到人、社会和地球之间的联系和相互作用,又赋予行动一种道德取向,从而加强所有实体的健康和完整性。行星社会教育学(PSP)理论是在传统社会教育学的基础上提出的,它为正规教育、非正规教育和非正式教育提供了理论框架。PSP旨在通过统一社会生态世界观的三个维度:空间、时间和伦理,整合支离破碎的人类概念和现实经验,从而建立对个人、社会和地球之间关系的深刻整体理解。此外,PSP是一个周期性的学习过程,在认知、元认知和认知水平的学习之间交替进行。使用PSP的最终目标是为理想、价值观和文化的根本转变奠定基础,这些理念、价值观和文化以确保可持续发展的未来所必需的方式塑造人类行为。
