目的尽管数十年来科学意识和政治努力都在实现环境可持续性,但人类在实现环境可持续性方面的尝试仍未成功。本文提出了一种新的概念,重点关注教育,为我们缺乏成功提供了更全面的解释,并呼吁人们关注替代方案。设计/方法论/途径作者首先批判性地回顾了用于实现环境可持续性的主流方法,然后介绍了一种被作者称为文化方法的替代方案。作者最后讨论了如何根据文化方法重新阐明教育研究。研究结果作者确定了三种主流方法——技术方法、认知方法和行为主义方法——所有这些方法都具有再现现代主流文化的作用。相比之下,文化方法将现代主流文化视为环境不可持续性的根本原因,并旨在重新阐明它。为了详细阐述文化方法,作者建议教育学者(1)关注文化在可持续发展中的作用,(2)确定可能有助于实现文化转变的教育实践,主要是在定性和定量研究之间发展更丰富的协同作用。原创性/价值与教育领域的许多先前研究不同,作者的叙述强调了当前用于当前全球教育政策制定的主流方法往往只是再现现代主流文化并加速环境危机。因此,它建议重新调整教育研究的方向,以实现文化转变,使人类社会能够超越可持续发展的令人欣慰的言辞,并面对生存的迫切需要。
PurposeHumans remain unsuccessful in their attempts to achieve environmental sustainability, despite decades of scientific awareness and political efforts toward that end. This paper suggests a fresh conceptualization, one that focuses on education, offers a fuller explanation for our lack of success and calls attention to alternatives.Design/methodology/approachThe authors first critically review mainstream approaches that have been used to achieve environmental sustainability, then introduce an alternative that the authors call the cultural approach. The authors finally discuss how educational research should be re-articulated based on the cultural approach.FindingsThe authors identified three mainstream approaches – the technological, cognitive approach and behaviorist – all of which function to reproduce modern mainstream culture. In contrast, the cultural approach assumes modern mainstream culture as the root cause of environmental unsustainability and aims to rearticulate it. To elaborate a cultural approach, the authors recommend education scholars to (1) bring attention to the role of culture in sustainability and (2) identify education practices that are potentially useful for enacting a cultural shift, primarily developing richer synergies between qualitative and quantitative research.Originality/valueUnlike many previous studies in the field of education, the authors’ account highlights how current mainstream approaches used for current global education policymaking often merely reproduces modern mainstream culture and accelerates the environmental crisis. It thus proposes to redirect educational research for a cultural shift, one that allows human society to move beyond the comforting rhetoric of sustainability and face the survivability imperative.
