Abstract

The concept of sustainability has been gaining prominence due to its social, economic, and environmental implications. The urgency surrounding this issue continues to mount as we strive to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda. To achieve these goals, it is imperative to harness scientific knowledge and innovative educational approaches. Pedagogical approaches can be a powerful ally to behavioral change, playing a decisive role in educating sustainable communities. Concurrently, neuroscientific basis has been used as a relevant tool to foster knowledge on human behavior, namely value attribution and decision‐making. In this work, we emphasize the construction of 1‐day workshops with high school students, focusing on neuro‐based processes underlying sustainable choices. Several innovative pedagogical methods have been employed to encourage the development of critical knowledge and promote the adoption of more sustainable behavior. This article discusses the connection between sustainable consumption and neuroscience, highlighting the vital role of education in shaping the consciousness of responsible citizens. The diversity of educational activities, the stimulation of creativity, and critical thinking cannot only improve the acquisition of concepts but also contribute to the education of citizens who are informed and capable of making responsible and conscious decisions.
可持续发展教育:教育和神经科学的作用
可持续发展的概念因其对社会、经济和环境的影响而日益突出。随着我们努力实现《2030 年议程》中概述的可持续发展目标,围绕这一问题的紧迫性不断增加。要实现这些目标,必须利用科学知识和创新教育方法。教学方法可以成为行为改变的强大盟友,在教育可持续社区方面发挥决定性作用。同时,神经科学基础已被用作促进人类行为知识(即价值归因和决策)的相关工具。在这项工作中,我们强调为高中生举办为期一天的研讨会,重点关注可持续选择的神经基础过程。我们采用了几种创新的教学方法,以鼓励发展批判性知识,促进采取更可持续的行为。本文讨论了可持续消费与神经科学之间的联系,强调了教育在塑造负责任公民意识方面的重要作用。教育活动的多样性、对创造力的激发以及批判性思维不仅可以提高对概念的掌握,还有助于教育出有知识、有能力做出负责任和有意识决定的公民。
