Abstract:
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a crucial approach to integrating sustainability principles into educational practices, equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary to address the complex challenges of sustainable development. ESD is critical for creating a more sustainable and equitable future in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world. This literature review examines various dimensions of ESD, drawing from a broad pool of 120+ research articles published between 2022 and 2024. Key themes include integrating digital teaching materials, community-based learning and teaching, and using augmented reality in ESD. The review also explores the importance of teacher training, the need for adequate resources, and the potential of innovative teaching methods to enhance the effectiveness of ESD. Furthermore, it identifies gaps in current literature and offers recommendations for future research and practice.
