{"product_id":"education-for-sustainability-in-trades-von-rashika-sharma","title":"Education for Sustainability in Trades","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnited Nations has declared 2005-2014 as the Decade  of Education for Sustainable Development (United  Nations, 2002) with the anticipation that all  curriculums will be modified to reflect concepts of  sustainability (Parliamentary Commission for the  Environment (PCE), 2004). Sustainability concepts  are inconsistently incorporated into education with  coverage mainly at degree level (Stone \u0026amp; Baldoni,  2006) and little or no implementation at vocational  education (VET). Therefore a qualitative case study  research was conducted to determine the reasons for  the slow implementation of sustainability concepts  into the VET curriculum. Academics, industry  personnel and students were involved in the  research. Analysis showed that academics and  industry personnel considered sustainability as  irrelevant to VET and demonstrated a relatively low  awareness level about sustainability concepts.  However, in comparison students were highly  optimistic about the concept of sustainability and  considered it highly relevant for VET. This book  will be beneficial to academincs and curriculum  developers interested in education for  sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843363723\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA New Zealand Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843363723","offer_id":39497176875101,"sku":"9783843363723","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/dcae8a9f-80e1-43ee-a0d6-0b2a188f856a.jpg?v=1775887177","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/education-for-sustainability-in-trades-von-rashika-sharma","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
