I was at the University of Vechta in Lower Saxony on Monday making a presentation at the start of a summer school on Empirical Research on Education for Sustainable Development – Themes, Methods and Trends. I was the warm-up act for what is a serious venture with some 35 PhD students from across Germany (and Switzerland). The 9 day programme includes sessions on:
- A taxonomy of topics, methodological approaches and objectives
- Qualitative-reconstructive teaching-learning research on education for sustainable development
- Measuring Affective Attributes in Education for Sustainable Development
- Triangulation approaches in research on education for sustainable development
- Transdisciplinarity and Transformation in Science: Implications for research on education for sustainable development
- Analysing competence development processes: overview of a heterogeneous field of research
- Transfer and diffusion research on education for sustainable development
- On the future of educational research in education for sustainable development
... together with a host of workshops and discussions. Die creme de la creme of German ESD research will be presenting. It's an impressive programme however you look at it, and very ably put together by Marco Rieckmann and Matthias Barth. I felt honoured to be included.
