在这篇文章中，我们概述了可持续发展教育（EFS）的主要原则，使我们能够质疑STEM（科学，数学，工程和技术）及其分支STEM教育的热情和不加批判的推广，作为环境可持续发展未来的关键贡献者。我们研究的STEM和STEM教育的框架，位于一个unproblematized，新自由主义的增长主义范式，在EFS的更关键的生态范式相比。我们的结论是，STEM，因此STEM教育，需要包括批判性反思和未来的观点，如果他们要与繁荣的经济，社会和环境的未来保持一致。我们为课堂提供例子来说明我们的论点。
Abstract In this article, we outline the key principles of education for sustainability (EfS) that enable us to question the enthusiastic and uncritical promotion of STEM (science, mathematics, engineering and technology) and its offshoot, STEM education, as key contributors to an environmentally sustainable future. We examine the framing of STEM and STEM education as situated in an unproblematised, neoliberal growthist paradigm, in contrast to the more critical ecological paradigm of EfS. We conclude that STEM, and hence STEM education, need to include critical reflection and futures perspectives if they are to align themselves with a flourishing economic, social and environmental future. We provide examples for the classroom that illustrate our contention.
