Outlines
🌿 Sustainable Communities and Active Citizenship
The script discusses the importance of local sustainability projects, such as green spaces and renewable energy installations, using the example of a steel bridge project in Bangalore that was opposed due to environmental concerns. It emphasizes the role of active citizens in influencing government decisions. The script then introduces a middle school project where students are tasked with designing a model sustainable community, integrating various subjects and emphasizing the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The project requires interdisciplinary integration and group work, with each group focusing on different aspects of the community, such as energy, transportation, housing, or food systems, and ensuring their plans integrate seamlessly. The practical aspect involves designing and modeling buildings using sustainable design principles, possibly with recycled materials, and engaging with local experts for insights and feedback. The process encourages students to apply their knowledge practically and reflect on their learning experience, documenting their process and rationale behind their design.
📚 Interdisciplinary Learning and Real-World Application
This section of the script focuses on the benefits of interdisciplinary learning in the context of a project on sustainable communities. It highlights how students gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainability by exploring it through multiple lenses and acquiring real-world skills. The project encourages practical skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving, empowering students to make a difference in their communities. The script also discusses the importance of reflection and self-assessment, where students document their entire process, including the challenges they faced and how their understanding of sustainability evolved. The evaluation and feedback process involves peer and expert reviews, allowing students to refine their ideas and learn from different perspectives. The benefits of this approach include fostering a sense of responsibility, empathy, and global citizenship, ensuring students experience the complexity and interconnectedness of sustainability in a practical and engaging way.
🌱 ESD Pedagogies and Traditional Education Comparison
The final paragraph contrasts the pedagogies of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) with traditional education methods. It emphasizes the participatory and experiential learning methods of ESD, which involve hands-on activities, projects, and collaborative learning that connect theory with practice. In contrast, traditional pedagogies are described as teacher-centered, focusing on memorization and the acquisition of established knowledge without much emphasis on student engagement or interaction. ESD pedagogies aim to cultivate values and attitudes that support sustainable development, such as responsibility, empathy, and a sense of global citizenship, while traditional methods primarily focus on academic and cognitive development. The script also illustrates how ESD can connect local issues to global contexts, teaching students about the broader implications of their actions and the importance of global cooperation for sustainability.

you know local sustainability projects
like green spaces and renewable energy
installations for example in a busy
stretch in bangaluru a Steel Bridge was
proposed there were two kinds of people
who one who opposed the construction of
the bridge bridge and the others who
wanted it but the ones who opposed it
did it because there would be a severe
damage to the environment because it
would cause thousands of trees to be cut
finally that group won and the Steel
Bridge Project was shelved by the
government so this push and thrust came
from the citizens themselves active
citizenry is very important for any
country awareness is the key and we hope
hope to create generations of citizens
who are aware let us continue with our
project we started by saying there is a
middle school project where students are
asked to design a model sustainable
Community let us see how this project
integrates various subjects such as
science social studies economics and
languages and also emphasize the
interconnectedness of the the social
economic and environmental
sustainability we saw the first point
introduction and research so far now
moving to the second that is
interdisciplinary integration for the
project on sustainable communities we
require interdisciplinary integration we
can do it as a group work Learners can
be divided into groups each can be
tasked with focusing on a specific
aspect of the community such as energy
Transportation housing or Food Systems
each group must consider the
environmental social and the economic
factors while they are planning this is
a group project so definitely there
would be a lot of collaboration these
groups collaborate to ensure that their
plans integrate seamlessly with the
others you can't have Stand Alone one
group planning something it's like when
you're building a house you require
everybody whether whether it is a
designer or the person doing the wood
work or the person doing the plumbing
work everybody has to put their heads
together come up with a design which is
integrated similarly to here we have to
ensure that their plans integrate
seamlessly and they should reflect the
interconnectedness of a real Community
for example the housing group works with
the Energy Group to design homes that
uses renewable energy sources now the
Practical aspect effect of it how do you
design and model a building using
principles based on your research
students can design and build Scale
Models or simulation of their
sustainable Community these need not be
exact it just has to give them a focus
on how to if such a task is given how
should they go about it don't look at
the exactness of the whole thing they
could be a few rough edges never mind
but the joy is in doing and learning
students can use recycled materials
remember this is a sustainable community
so recycled materials apply the
principles of sustainable design you can
engage with local experts it's not that
students alone will know everything so
they can also take the help of people
from outside if they have know about
urban planners or environmental
scientists or Community leaders just
look around the school Community is
vibrant you may have parents relatives
of students who are there in each of
these different groups so they can get
inputs from them to gain an insight and
feedback on their own designs now this
step helps students understand the real
world implications and feasibility of
their ideas when they move to the real
world nobody is going to ask them Define
pressure define force Define weight
Define this Define that no what are the
10 things that you require to build it
is not going to be all Theory they have
to apply that knowledge what they have
learned in their practical life and that
is what you're trying to do even as they
are in their younger classes and then of
course allow them to reflect reflection
is a very important part of the
educational process students are able to
document their entire process whatever
they have done how they have gone and
got inputs from experts and the rational
behind their design all this becomes
part of their portfolio this can include
reports diagrams
multimedia presentations multimodel it
can be anything so then they present
their models and findings to the school
Community to the parents to the local
stakeholders explaining how their
designs address
sustainability from a social economic
and environmental point of view these
perspectives are very important for them
and then comes of course the evaluation
and feedback this is where your Ro go is
very important you can have a peer and
an expert review students receive
feedback from their own peers and also
from experts which allows them to refine
their ideas find out where they've gone
wrong find out where they can do better
learn from different perspectives and
reflection helps in their own self
assessment they reflect on their
learning experience they consider what
worked well for them what challenges
they faced and how their understanding
of sustainability has evolved over time
now what are the benefits of this kind
of interdisciplinary learning I'm sure
by now you would know it yourselves
students gain a comprehensive
understanding of
sustainability by exploring it through
multiple lenses and they getting real
world skills not science separately
social separately language separately no
they're able to mix everything use that
knowledge that they have gained and Gain
real world skills develop practical
skills they have done research they have
done collaboration they were able to
think critically they were able to solve
problems when there was one and this
makes students feel so empowered to make
a difference in their communities they
understand that their actions can
contribute to a more sustainable world
look at the amazing values and attitudes
which they give
it Fosters a sense of responsibility
that their voices are also important
empathy global citizenship because they
see as students they see the broader
impact of their work this holistic
approach ensures that students do not
just learn about sustainability in
theory but experience its complexity and
interconnectedness in a very very
practical engaging and meaningful way
this is what we mean by a holistic
approach in ESD pedagogies there is
something for everybody in the class we
spoke about the different kinds of
Learners if they are able to participate
in this kind of a collaborative activity
they would shine because you are trying
to tap into their strengths as opposed
to Mere root learning you give them
notes and say talk about 10 points how
do you build sustainable communities
then you give them 10 points they can
just go on doing a road memory exercise
and those are able to have a good
ability to recall come and re gurgitate
in the classes of what use is that
learning there is critical thinking and
problem solving in this kind of learning
they are able to reflect and also solve
problems and these are aimed at
addressing real life challenges because
this is what they're seeing in the
outside world they encourage these
students to question assumptions
consider multiple perspectives revisit
their own plan make changes nothing
wrong it's all in the development stage
and then find finally they develop
solutions for sustainable living in
traditional pedagogy unfortunately all
this is lost because it focuses only on
root memorization and the acquisition of
this established somebody's knowledge
somebody writes a textbook we want the
students to just mug that up and get it
by heart and come and give it in the
class they don't think what is their
role in it there is no innovation
there's no problem solving for example a
traditional physics lesson May question
a student students knowledge of the
definition on pressure define pressure
that's what most physics teachers at
least that's what my physics teacher
used to ask pressure is a force applied
per unit area on the surface of an
object and that is something that we had
to get it by heart instead explain how
pressure is experienced in everyday life
describe how a sharp knife Cuts better
than a dull one the sharp knife applies
the same force over a smaller area this
creates higher pressure making it easier
to cut through materials what is force
force is push or pull upon an object
resulting from the objects interaction
with another object many may not
understand illustrate it use Force by
talking about opening the door when you
push or pull the door you apply a force
which causes it to move different
amounts of force is required to open
doors of different weights now that gets
into the head very easily because you're
connecting it with daily relevance the
feeling of pressure on their feet when
they wear high heels that is something
all students will be able to relate to
what happens when you wear high heels
what happens when you wear flats there
is a pressure and this changes because
the surface area also changes similarly
with Force ask students to think about
activities which they do like playing
sports for example you kick a soccer
ball that involves applying a force to
the ball it causes it to bounce and
accelerate in the direction of the kick
so now you're trying to connect it to
ESD how can you connect it now that was
daily relevance how do you connect it to
ESD weather reports use barometric
pressure to predict weather changes high
and low pressure systems affect weather
patterns and this is very important for
forecasting if you have to plan
something you have to forecast so you
can also talk about the air turbulence
of for the last few days we've been
reading about it because of climate
vagaries how there is an air turbulence
cost there was even a death unfortunate
death in a Singapore Airline due to air
turbulence so this is caused by climate
patterns this is because of the pressure
systems so you're connecting about it
talk about car safety features like seat
belts and airbags which are designed to
manage forces during a collision
reducing the impact on passengers you're
trying to make them responsible citizens
you call this participatory learning
because ESD pedagogies they advocate for
active participatory and experiential
learning methods that's what we use
students engage in Hands-On activities
projects and Collaborative Learning
which connect Theory with practice
whereas in traditional pedagogies we
only rely on teacher centered approaches
whatever the teacher lectures students
listen and of course individual
assignments are given there is no
emphasis on student engagement or
student interaction and regarding values
and attitudes ESD pedagogies aim to
cultivate values and attitudes which
support sustainable development
responsibility empathy sense of global
citizenship the emphasize the importance
of ethical considerations and the impact
of individual and Collective actions on
the planet so every student feels that
he is wanted I must do my bit I must be
responsible whereas traditional
pedagogies may not explicitly address
these kinds of values and attitudes
instead they only focus on academic and
cognitive development it is just
stuffing the head with more and more ESD
pedagogies also encourage Learners to
connect local issues to Global contexts
understand the broader implications of
your own local action so whatever I do
if I throw garbage here it is definitely
going to have an effect remember during
covid times how whatever we did came
back to us so we stressed on hygiene
personal hygiene do not spit on the
roads be careful keep your surroundings
clean otherwise we would get affected it
was all Equitable Society no distinction
between the have they have not the rich
or the poor everybody gets affected so
these broader implications of their own
actions the importance of global
cooperation for sustainability are all
taught to the students through this kind
of handson on ESD pedagogy
