Teaching, learning and assessment methods for sustainability education on the land-sea interface. 海陆交界处可持续性教育的教学、学习和评估方法。
IF 2.4 Q3 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Epub Date: 2023-01-19 DOI: 10.1007/s43621-023-00120-2

The Land-Sea Interface (LSI) is where land and sea meet, not only in physical terms, but also with regards to a large variety of ecological and societal aspects. The United Nations has proclaimed the period 2021-2030 the Ocean Decade, which entails striving for a sustainable use of the ocean and teaching and learning about ocean related issues. Teaching and learning about the LSI are also tightly connected with several Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals) such as Life Below Water, Zero Hunger and Sustainable Cities and Communities. Teaching and learning about sustainability lacks a uniform pedagogy, and it is probably wise to maintain that apparently adaptive diversity. In this globally relevant methods overview, we present a wide range of relatively new and/or successful and mostly largely learner-centered methods. We also discuss how effective and popular they are, and give examples on how most of these methods are already used in LSI sustainability teaching. There will probably not be any successful "one size fits all" model developing for LSI teaching and learning, and each module, course and programme will have to develop its own recipe for successful teaching and learning, possibly with support from one or several methods discussed in this paper.

陆地-海洋界面(LSI)是陆地和海洋的交汇处,不仅在物理方面,而且在生态和社会方面都有广泛的影响。联合国已宣布 2021-2030 年为 "海洋十年",要求努力实现海洋的可持续利用,并开展与海洋相关问题的教学和学习。有关 LSI 的教与学也与若干可持续发展目标(全球目标)密切相关,如 "水下生 活"、"零饥饿 "和 "可持续城市和社区"。有关可持续发展的教与学缺乏统一的教学方法,保持这种明显的适应性多样性也许是 明智之举。在这篇与全球相关的方法概述中,我们介绍了一系列相对较新和/或成功的方法,这些方法大多以学习者为中心。我们还讨论了这些方法的有效性和受欢迎程度,并举例说明了这些方法中的大多数是如何在 LSI 可持续发展教学中使用的。可能不会有任何成功的 "放之四海而皆准 "的LSI教学模式,每个单元、课程和项目都必须开发自己的成功教学方法,可能需要本文讨论的一种或几种方法的支持。

A relatively broad consolidated consensus has emerged among experts regarding the competencies that should be fostered through an education for sustainable development at the higher education level. However, there is little empirical support to aid in answering the question of which competencies should be promoted from the perspective of students and graduates. This was the main purpose for analyzing the corresponding results of the evaluation of the study programs in sustainable development at the University of Bern. In a standardized survey, students (N = 124), graduates (N = 121), and the supervisors of internships (N = 37) were asked, among other questions, how important they consider the fostering of the respective 13 competencies during their studies and for their professional activities. Overall, the results confirm the view of experts: the study programs should be designed for a comprehensive empowerment with respect of responsible and self-motivated participation in meeting the challenges of sustainable development. Even the students are of the opinion that competency-oriented education is important and that not only the acquisition, respectively the imparting of knowledge is relevant. Regarding the estimation of the promotion of competencies in the study program, the three groups agree that the competencies "Interconnected, foresighted, and thinking approaches in system-dynamic contexts" and "Recognizing on one's own perspective on a situation and problem, empathizing with other perspectives, and taking these into account when solving problems" are the most important. For the professional field, the competency "Communicating in a comprehensive and target group-oriented manner" is rated most important by all three groups. However, it must be noted that there are also differences between the varying perspectives of the students, graduates, and internship supervisors. The results indicate opportunities for improvement that can also be considered as recommendations in the further development of inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability-oriented study programs. Furthermore, lecturers should, especially regarding a multidisciplinary team, coordinate and communize the development of competencies across the different educational elements. Students should be well informed regarding how the various educational elements, i.e., teaching/learning arrangements and assessments, are intended to contribute to the overall development of competency. Finally, in order to ensure that lecturers align respective learning outcomes, as well as teaching/learning arrangements and assessments in their educational elements, there will need to be a greater focus on competency development across a program of study.

关于应该通过高等教育一级的可持续发展教育来培养的能力,专家之间已经形成了相对广泛的一致意见。然而,从学生和毕业生的角度来看,很少有经验支持来帮助回答应该促进哪些能力的问题。这是分析伯尔尼大学可持续发展研究项目评估结果的主要目的。在一项标准化调查中,学生(N = 124)、毕业生(N = 121)和实习主管(N = 37)被问及在他们的学习和专业活动中,他们认为各自能力的培养有多重要。总的来说,研究结果证实了专家们的观点:研究项目的设计应该是为了全面授权,尊重负责任和自我激励的参与,以迎接可持续发展的挑战。甚至学生也认为能力导向教育是重要的,不仅仅是知识的获取,知识的传授也是相关的。关于学习计划中能力提升的评估,三个小组一致认为“在系统动态环境中相互联系、有远见和思考的方法”和“在一个情况和问题上认识到自己的观点,同情其他观点,并在解决问题时考虑这些观点”的能力是最重要的。在专业领域,三个群体都认为“以全面和目标群体为导向的方式进行沟通”是最重要的能力。然而,必须注意的是,学生、毕业生和实习导师的不同观点之间也存在差异。研究结果表明,在未来发展的跨学科和跨学科的可持续发展为导向的研究项目中,改进的机会也可以被视为建议。此外,讲师应该,特别是对于一个多学科的团队,在不同的教育要素之间协调和交流能力的发展。学生应充分了解各种教育元素,即教/学安排和评估,是如何促进整体能力发展的。最后,为了确保讲师各自的学习成果,以及教学/学习安排和评估在其教育要素中保持一致,需要更加关注整个学习项目的能力发展。

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing domestic waste stream globally, continuously outstripping projections. With increasing ubiquity of complex computing, many non-renewables are contained in end-of-life electronics, creating a vast urban mine, potentially hazardous, depending on treatment. The aim of this study is to compare how Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy is applied in two case countries, Japan and Canada, the practical implications of EPR policy design on producer operations, and how EPR affects electronic waste management improvements in each case. These cases share international obligations for electronic waste management but employ contrasting EPR policies. These policies are widespread in both cases, yet are not presided over by larger, regional obligations. Therefore, country-level interviews with electronic waste management stakeholders focusing on how EPR regulation affects producer practice were conducted. The physical application of EPR, as seen in Japan, drives design changes by producers intending to simplify downstream treatment, while financial responsibility in Canada, creates greater concern with cost-savings for producers, complicating end-of-life processing. EPR implementation, along with specific geographical factors, also create contrasting resource recovery results between countries. Regulation primarily drives EPR implementation in both countries, which is consistent with the literature. This study presents new drivers and barriers, namely pre-emptive legislation, and no incentive to improve, classifying the Japanese and Canadian systems as suffering from externalities on an insular system, and lack of harmonization, respectively. This research addresses a gap in comparative studies across regions of physical and financial EPR effects on producer practice.

电子垃圾是全球增长最快的生活垃圾流,不断超过预测。随着复杂计算的日益普及,许多不可再生能源都包含在报废的电子产品中,形成了一个巨大的城市矿山,潜在的危险取决于处理方式。本研究的目的是比较两个案例国家(日本和加拿大)如何实施生产者延伸责任(EPR)政策,EPR政策设计对生产者运营的实际影响,以及EPR如何影响电子废物管理的改进。这些国家分担了电子废物管理的国际义务,但采用了截然不同的环保责任政策。这些政策在这两种情况下都很普遍,但没有更大的区域义务主导。因此,对电子废物管理利益相关者进行了国家级访谈,重点关注EPR法规如何影响生产者实践。如日本所见,EPR的实际应用促使生产商改变设计,以简化下游处理,而加拿大的财务责任则使生产商更关心节约成本,使报废处理复杂化。EPR的实施以及具体的地理因素也造成了各国之间资源回收结果的差异。在这两个国家,法规主要推动EPR的实施,这与文献一致。这项研究提出了新的驱动因素和障碍,即先发制人的立法,没有改进的动机,将日本和加拿大的制度分别归类为遭受孤立制度的外部性和缺乏协调。本研究解决了EPR对生产者实践的物质和财务影响在跨区域比较研究中的差距。

Could global norms enable definition of sustainable farming systems in a transformative international trade system? 全球规范是否能够在变革中的国际贸易体系中定义可持续农业系统?

This paper aims to support differentiation between sustainable and unsustainable agricultural production, with a view to enabling a transformative agricultural trade system by incentivizing sustainable agricultural production. We argue that transformative governance of corresponding global trade flows will need to provide support to the weaker participants in production systems, above all small-scale farmers in the global South, in order to support their food security and a path out of poverty as well as global environmental goals. The present article seeks to provide an overview of internationally agreed norms that can serve as basis for differentiation between sustainable and unsustainable agricultural systems. Such common objectives and benchmarks could then be used in multilateral and binational trade agreements. We propose a list of objectives, criteria, and benchmarks that could contribute to formulation of new trade agreements that strengthen producers who are currently marginalized in international trade flows. While acknowledging that sustainability cannot be easily measured and defined for all site-specific conditions, we posit that it is nevertheless possible to identify such common objectives and benchmarks, based on internationally agreed norms.

本文旨在支持区分可持续和不可持续的农业生产,以期通过激励可持续农业生产来实现农业贸易体系的变革。我们认为,相应的全球贸易流动的变革性治理将需要为生产系统中较弱的参与者提供支持,首先是全球南方的小农,以支持他们的粮食安全和摆脱贫困的道路以及全球环境目标。本文旨在概述国际商定的规范,这些规范可作为区分可持续和不可持续农业系统的基础。这样的共同目标和基准可以用于多边和双边贸易协定。我们提出了一系列目标、标准和基准,有助于制定新的贸易协定,加强目前在国际贸易流动中被边缘化的生产者。虽然承认可持续性不容易衡量和定义所有场址特定条件,但我们认为,根据国际商定的规范确定这种共同目标和基准是可能的。
