Abstract

Education for sustainability demands transformative knowledge, which can be obtained through problem-based, project-organized learning (PBL). However, the integration of PBL and sustainability in higher education has not yet met the needs required due to the lack of application of a systemic perspective and strategy. In this literature review, we present an overview of research trends being developed with PBL in education for sustainability and how PBL is being used to educate students for sustainability. The scientific production of the last 22 years is analyzed, and we verify that the use of PBL as a methodology for education in sustainability is a rather recent innovation, with an emphasis on the environmental dimension. Learning assessment methodologies are based on summative approaches using traditional methods like scoring tests. There is an explicit preference to integrate PBL and sustainability in undergraduate and graduate courses, mainly in engineering. We observe that most of the time, the subject of interdisciplinarity is not discussed. We concluded that there are a few concerns with research on education for sustainability using PBL. Although PBL proposes an innovative form of education, its implementation in education for sustainability has not been fully explored to its full potential, especially concerning the development of sustainability skills, transformative and holistic education, but rather as a form of content-based assessment.
基于问题的学习和可持续发展工程教育
可持续发展教育需要变革性知识,而变革性知识可以通过基于问题的项目式学习 (PBL)获得。然而,由于缺乏系统的视角和策略,高等教育中 PBL 与可持续发展的结合尚未达到要求。在这篇文献综述中,我们概述了可持续发展教育中 PBL 的研究趋势,以及如何利用 PBL 对学生进行可持续发展教育。我们对过去 22 年的科学成果进行了分析,并证实将 PBL 作为可持续发展教育的一种方法是最近的创新,重点是环境层面。学习评估方法以终结性方法为基础,使用传统方法,如计分测试。在本科生和研究生课程(主要是工程学课程)中,人们明确倾向于将 PBL 与可持续性结合起来。我们注意到,在大多数情况下,跨学科的主题并没有得到讨论。我们得出的结论是,使用 PBL 开展可持续发展教育的研究存在一些问题。虽然 PBL 提出了一种创新的教育形式,但其在可持续发展教育中的实施还没有得到充分发掘, 特别是在发展可持续发展技能、变革性和整体性教育方面,而是作为一种基于内容的评估形 式。
