How to Create Sustainable Future through Curriculum in Higher Education
Sustainable Development has been the core concept of society development for the last decades. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has become the turning point in new global Sustainable Development framework. Education as a key instrument plays one of the important roles in promoting Sustainable Development philosophy including 17 Sustainable Development Goals among society to empower everyone to contribute to achieving the ambitious and crucial global Agenda. Integration of Sustainable Development Goals in educational and research programs allows to involve education representatives, policy makers, civil society actors and other stakeholders in raising awareness, generating knowledge and making decisions focused on three Sustainable Development dimensions – economic, social and environmental ones at different levels. The objective of this paper is to define inclusion of Sustainable Development aspects in curriculum in Higher Education Institutions and identify teaching tools and methods to motivate students to get new knowledge in Sustainable Development Goals, transform their behaviour for sustainable future and disseminate Sustainable Development values among wide range of stakeholders – business society, local and regional authorities and communities, etc. This paper presents a review of five year-experience in integrating Sustainable Development values and principles in curriculum accumulated by National Research Mordovia State University. The study is based on content analysis of Master’s programs curriculum, qualitative analysis of perceived values and challenges relating to Sustainable Development Goals in the view of Master students and their inputs to the goals achievements. The findings illustrate some measures that may be adopted in order to enhance methodology and develop teaching tools to integrate Sustainable Development philosophy in Higher Education Institutions’ curriculum. It also should be reinforced at different levels of University programs in different subject fields.
