    Naji, Majda ...
    Higher education institutions (HEIs, are ideally positioned to make a critical contribution to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through their core academic functions of research and ... teaching. However, while sustainability research has accelerated in recent years, curriculum development has been limited in scope and impact, due to the complexities of ESD when applied within the existing academic structures and processes of HEIs. The field of ESD has the strategic aim of reorienting entire educational systems, which in HEIs means the challenging goal of achieving large-scale shifts of curriculum priorities, policy and pedagogy. The concept of ESD focuses on achieving human wellbeing and quality of life, pursued through the maintenance, care and equitable use of natural and cultural resources. Critical pedagogies oriented to futures and systems thinking, participatory and experiential learning, critical thinking, partnership working and values reflection, are all widely used in ESD. Two Slovenian cases of ESD good practice include one or more of the following innovative pedagogical approaches: changes to formal curriculum development processes and/or frameworks; actions to improve the graduate profile and student learning experiences; strategic enhancement activities to improve teaching and learning practice.
