The implementation of the Project will bring the quality of the educational process to a new level, ensuring the improvement of training and reorientation of teachers to ensure sustainable development.
Practical significance for the education system
For the first time, the theoretical and applied possibilities of recommendations for the design of educational programs and school textbooks that will contribute to the ideas of education for sustainable development will be substantiated; the algorithm of actions – for the first time, instructions for the design of geography programs and textbooks in the context of ESD will be given and methodological recommendations for practical teachers will be developed; coverage – the possibility of use in education and in society as a whole.
As a result of the work carried out:
– in 2022, criteria for evaluating the effectiveness and quality of training and retraining of geography teachers in the aspect of SD will be determined.
– in 2023, specific methodological recommendations will be developed for the implementation of the SDGs in the educational process of training and retraining of geography teachers.
– in 2024, a course of training and retraining of geography teachers will be developed to implement the tasks of ESD. A monograph on the topic “Theory and practice of SDG implementation in the training of teachers”, a textbook on the topic: “Methodology of teaching SDGs in geographical education”, a methodological guide for university teachers on the topic: “Implementation of SDGs in the educational process of training and retraining of geography teachers” will be published.
