PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES OF REALIZATION OF EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

The study identifies pedagogical technologies, which are effective for an implementation of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Strategy for education for sustainable development (ESD). An implementation of ESD principles takes place at the varying degrees on different levels of formal, non-formal and informal education; various pedagogical technologies are used. It is important to identify the most effective and promising technologies, taking into account national and cultural features of different countries, including Russia. Main purpose of our research is an identification and comparative analysis of ESD pedagogical technologies of different levels of education from different countries and justification of their potential application in Russian Federation. Based on the best practices of UNECE countries, we aim to justify an implementation of affordable and effective educational technologies; it will allow realizing ESD principles in practical work of educational institutions of different levels and types (kindergartens, schools, colleges, universities, organizations of additional education etc.) in Russian Federation. In the course of our study, we analysed national reports on the implementation of UNECE Strategy for ESD (phase III, 2011-2015) from 37 countries. We composed the list of suitable pedagogical technologies, have compiled their classification and ranking. We have revealed and classified pedagogical technologies which are used for an implementation of UNECE Strategy for ESD in the system of formal, non-formal and informal education. We have justified theoretical possibility of their application in Russian Federation.
