Learning and Pedagogy
In terms of learning and pedagogy approach, the convergence of experiential, constructivist and transformative learning abbreviated as ExConTra learning paradigm discussed in earlier modules is of critical importance to the implementation process. Pedagogies like service-learning, problem-based and participatory, interdisciplinary and inquiry-based learning are inherent in the ExConTra learning approach. Effective sustainability-pedagogy ensures that students engage constructively in the teaching and learning process; encourages students’ active thinking and reflection; makes connections among various disciplines; provides students with multiple learning experiences and opportunities to practise what they learn, especially through community-based practicums.
