Abstract

Higher Education is not excluded in realizing the effort of promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Hence a framework of learning should be introduced to the students which at least include elements such as lifelong learning, interdisciplinary approaches, systems thinking, partnerships, multicultural perspectives and empowerment. To have all of these elements in a course is quite challenging. This paper will discuss the framework of teaching and learning a course using Problem Oriented Project Based Learning (POPBL) in an effort to promote ESD. POPBL is developed as an intervention in an action research cycle. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
