Both Cooperative Learning (CL) and Project-Based Learning (PBL) enhance student emotions and knowledge of sustainable development goals. CL fostered greater responsibility, while PBL improved communication skills.
Area of Science:
- Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
- Science Education
- Environmental Education
Background:
- Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) utilizes transformative, action-oriented pedagogy.
- Affective-emotional aspects significantly impact the teaching-learning process.
- Active methodologies are crucial for engaging students in ESD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the influence of Cooperative Learning (CL) and Project-Based Learning (PBL) on student emotions and learning.
- To assess the impact of CL and PBL on students' awareness of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- To evaluate the effectiveness of active methodologies in science education for ESD.
Main Methods:
- A comparative case study was conducted with fourth-secondary level students.
- The study involved an innovation project (e-WORLD) focusing on SDGs 7 and 13.
- Surveys and statistical analyses (ANOVA, Tukey's tests) were used to collect and analyze data.
Main Results:
- Both CL and PBL improved students' skills and knowledge regarding climate change and energy.
- Both methodologies positively influenced student emotions.
- CL enhanced individual and group responsibility more than PBL, which fostered communication skills.
Conclusions:
- Active methodologies like CL and PBL are effective in promoting ESD and positive student emotions.
- CL and PBL contribute differently to skill development, highlighting the need for varied pedagogical approaches.
- Further research is needed to optimize student engagement and foster socio-sustainable life changes.
