From Teacher-oriented to Student-oriented Education for Sustainable Development: Re-orienting Undergraduate Education at the University Campus

摘要

Author argues that the core of necessary re-orientation of undergraduate education at the university campus is from teacher-oriented to student-oriented education for sustainable development. The paper gives three examples of student-oriented education at the university campus, relating three human security themes and issues with three studentoriented methods: (l) peace and human security through fieldwork study; (2) development and poverty reduction through case teaching; and (3) international political economy and climate change through in-class debate. Author also argues that these practices of re-orientation enrich Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) at the university campus when they are combined with exchange of ideas in multicultural environment. The paper concludes with a proposal of bilateral or multilateral project among the East and Southeast Asian institutions that realizes this type of re-orientation in and out of the university campus.
