Sustainability education should not only strive for pedagogical excellence, but also the formulation of transformative pedagogies. Whereas sustainability education denotes the transmission of sustainability-related content, the pedagogical or praxis-oriented dimension of sustainability education involves the curation of a conducive learning environment supported by an educator’s teaching philosophy (Hegarty and Holdsworth 2015; Taimur 2020). For instance, the Sustainability Learning Lab at NIE has devised signature pedagogies for sustainability education that are informed by a critical philosophy and actualised vis-a-vis a three pronged approach, that of (i) inquiry-based learning (with a focus on taking action), (ii) place-based learning (including field work and/or field-based learning) and (iii) technologically-enabled learning (through the use of, for example, Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing).
