Sustainability for Secular and Spiritual Groups: A Framework from University and Community Education
Stillwell, Ashlynn
Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, v25 n3 p54-61 2021
Education around the concept of sustainability, encompassing the environment, economy, and society, presents challenges of context among diverse groups. I present a framework for sustainability education based on experience with educating secular groups in a university context and educating spiritual groups in a community context. This sustainability education framework highlights three drivers for student learning: passion, experience, and uncertainty. Examples from education of secular and spiritual groups illustrate the importance of projects, challenges, and dialogue. Sustainability education can reveal common ground between science and religion.
