This research paper will describe the current process and practice of Education for sustainable development (ESD) implementation in Korean schools through a case study that was carried out in Tongyeong city. This study is based on a field study and empirical observation in South Korea (Tongyeong city), with the subject of research being 2 schools. The scope of this research focuses on ESD implementation within school which consists of curricular design, an extracurricular program, and learning and teaching model on ESD in the classroom. There were 2 elementary schools which were chosen in this case study in Tongyeong city. They are Inpyeong elementary school and Yongnam elementary school. The method of research through depth interview, observation, and document review on ESD and the analysis in this research includes the process and teaching strategy of ESD in schools. Other analysis includes extracurricular activities and school programs. The result of this research shows that ESD issues in Korean schools have strongly focused on eight areas; they are improving the basic quality of education, a sustainable and healthily lifestyle, equity, environmental ethics/education, sustainable consumption and production, democratic sustainably, children protection, cultural understanding. Specially, this research showed that Korean schools has a concern in a clean plate movement, environmental awareness, energy saving, and waste management. Meanwhile, in Indonesian schools the emphasis is on environmental awareness and cultural preservation and protection. Additional programs related to ESD implementation were found in extracurricular activities such as field trips, cultural preservation activities and club activities on environmental protection. Basically, two schools in Tongyeong City have implemented ESD in various activities before the term ESD was created. It is clear that ESD could develop and increase student’s awareness about the environment, life, and the future of the earth.

e-Learning has now been used widely as a teaching tool of the new era. Effective delivery of e-Learning could bring a better learning outcome in an effective and efficient way. Besides, mobile technology has enabled mobility in e-Learning, which could bring even a better e-Learning for all. However, there is not yet a model of best practice in e-Learning for Thailand, let alone for the world. This paper discusses most selected modes out of 22 modes of Integrative Delivery Methodology with Mobility for successful implementation of e-Learning in Thailand based on perceptions and experiences of the lecturers from Thailand Cyber University Project, the only national e-Learning institution at Higher Education level under the Ministry of Education. The findings revealed that Discussion group is the most selected delivering mode followed by Forum and Brainstorming(equally).

This two-stage project attempts to create a curriculum model of effective Education for Sustainable Development at the Cyber University level. Consider Stage 1 of this paper, the researchers present an overview of ESD in Higher Education, and then discuss the factors and relative qualities of ESD for e-learning purposes. The focus then shifts to developing a conceptual model of Cyber University learning as conceived by studying the education practices at Hanyang Cyber University, Seoul Korea. Using a mixed method approach, the theoretical model from this preliminary work is to be measured in a future research project named Stage 2 in terms of its support of proactive e-learning strategies for ESD. From conceptualizing the preliminary theoretical framework to formulating the model design, this project critically explores the potential contribution of the Cyber University for ESD.

본 연구는 지속가능발전교육 관점의 숲 체험활동이 유아의 환경보전지식과 환경 친화적 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 만 5세 유아 34명을 선정하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 독립표본 t검증으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 지속가능발전교육 관점의 숲 체험활동이 유아의 환경보전지식과 환경 친화적 태도에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결론적으로 지속가능발전교육 관점의 숲 체험활동이 유아의 환경보전지식과 환경 친화적 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다고 볼 수 있으며, 유아교육현장에서 지속적으로 전개된다면 유아의 환경보전지식과 환경 친화적 태도 발달을 향상시킬 수 있는 의미 있는 활동이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 화학과 지속가능발전교육 프로그램을 개발하는 것이다. 화학과 교육과정과 ESD 선행 연구를 분석하여 내용요소를 추출하였다. 그리고 프로그램에 대한 아이디어를 발상하고, 교과서를 분석하여 프로그램에 대한 아이디어를 구체화하였다. 그 다음 화학과 ESD의 연계 가능성을 평가하여 ‘오리엔테이션’, ‘안전’, ‘물’, ‘에너지’, ‘건강’ 총 5가지 주제의 프로그램의 주제를 선정하였다. 그 후에 교과서를 분석하여 교수-학습과정안의 형태로 프로그램을 구성하였다. 마지막으로 전문가의 교차검토를 통하여 타당성을 검증한 후 프로그램을 수정 및 보완하였다. 이 프로그램은 교육 현장에서 많이 활용할 수 있도록 차시를 보완할 수 있는 형태로 구조화하였다. 이 프로그램을 통하여 학생들로 하여금 화학이 지속가능발전에 이바지할 수 있는 과목이라는 인식을 갖고, 나아가 자신이 이러한 분야에서 활약할 수 있다는 의지를 가지는 데에 도움을 줄 것이다. 또한 화학을 배우는 학생들이 화학-환경-경제-사회의 상호관계를 폭넓게 이해할 수 있도록 도와줄 수 있다.
