Two-Eyed Seeing as a didaktik model in Education for Sustainability

Abstract

In this perspective article we argue that Two-Eyed Seeing (TES) can be seen as a didaktik model useful in Education for Sustainability (EfS). A didaktik model can be seen as a theory-based professional tool for teachers. As a basis for describing TES as a didaktik model we expand the theoretical background of TES by relating it to also other ideas, such as a comparison of Western modern worldviews with Indigenous knowledge, Confucian ecological ethics, and conceptulizations of eco-Bildung. The article includes also a practical example which can be regarded as TES in practice.
