Pfadwechsel in der Hochschullehre gestalten. Eine Toolbox als Wegweiser für nachhaltige Transformation
Wie lässt sich Nachhaltigkeit in die Hochschullehre integrieren? Die vorgestellte Toolbox zur Transformation der Hochschullehre bietet einen praktischen Wegweiser. Sie unterstützt bei der Analyse bestehender Lehrangebote, zeigt Entwicklungspotenziale auf und liefert Beispiele für transformative Lehr- und Studienformate sowie studentische Partizipation. Durch Vernetzungs- und Weiterbildungsangebote stärkt sie zudem den Dialog zwischen allen Hochsc…
Within‐city roads and urban growth
In this paper we study the role of within‐city roads layout in fostering city growth. Within‐city roads networks have not been studied extensively in economics although they are essential to facilitate human interactions, which are at the core of agglomeration economies. We build and compute several simple measures of roads network and construct a sample of over 1800 cities and towns from Sub‐Saharan Africa. Using a simple econometric model and t…
Transforming Curricula in Higher Education
The paper is part of the broader narrative of transforming curricula in universities in Zimbabwe and Austria. The landscape in higher education globally is inexorably shifting as a result of major global forces of change. For that reason, higher education cannot remain immune to these global challenges and changes. Rather, universities should be the agents of change. Higher education in Austria and Zimbabwe, in response to these global challenges…
Creating a virtual space for collaborative project planning using the future creating workshop process
This article describes our use of an online Future Creating Workshop (FCW) as a planning strategy to support our Global Climate Change Education Initiative (GCCEI). The GCCEI is an Educational Action Research project designed to provide the opportunity for students to discover how climate change acts to affect weather, health, economy, politics, and culture in their own communities and around the world by bringing young people aged eleven to four…
Action research for education for sustainable development
The goal of the university professional development course BINE is to encourage participants to address education for sustainable development (ESD) in a reflective way. The main aims are for the participants to learn about action research and to reflect and implement ESD in their work and institutions. This paper briefly describes the concepts of action research in relation to ESD and gives an overview of the structure of the course. The central …
(Weiter)Bildung und nachhaltige Entwicklung für Hochschullehrende
Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist angesichts der großen und dringenden globalen Herausforderungen eine für die gesamte Gesellschaft mehr denn je fordernde Aufgabe. Bildung ist ein Fundament zur Sensibilisierung, Bewusstseinsbildung und Entwicklung von Kompetenzen, die Menschen zukünftig befähigen, im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung aktiv zu agieren. Doch wie kommen die erforderlichen Kompetenzen in das Bildungssystem

Für Nachhaltigkeit bilden? Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung für Hochschullehrende an Universitäten in Österreich
Um die Sustainable Development Goals umzusetzen, ist es erforderlich, Nachhaltigkeit in alle Bildungsebenen und -formen zu integrieren. Dies gilt nicht zuletzt für die Weiterbildung der Hochschullehrenden. Die Verfasstheit des Nachhaltigkeitskonzepts ‐ sein normativer und transformatorischer Anspruch ohne die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung durch zu enge Vorgaben zu begrenzen ‐ stellt Bildungsprozesse vor besondere Herausforderungen, vor allem wenn…
Cities as spatial clusters
This article shows that Zipf’s Law for cities can emerge as a property of a clustering process. If initially uniformly distributed people chose their location based on a specific gravity equation as found in trade studies, they will form cities that follow Zipf’s Law in expected value. This view of cities as spatial agglomerations is supported empirically by the observation that larger cities are surrounded by larger hinterland areas and larger c…
Kompetenzen für Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung von Lehrpersonen
AuszugIm Auftrag des österreichischen Bildungsministeriums wird im Projekt „Kompetenzen für Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ (KOM-BiNE) ein Kompetenzkonzept für Lehrpersonen hinsichtlich Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) entworfen. Dieses KOM-BiNE-Kompetenzkonzept ist als prozessorientiertes, dynamisches Rahmenkonzept zu verstehen und stellt eine Alternative zu indikatorengestützten, quantitativen Modellen dar. Es beruht auf einem ein…
School development through Education for Sustainable Development in Austria
This article outlines the leading concepts which are being discussed in the current debate on education for sustainable development (ESD) in Austria, detailing their historic development and characteristic features, as well as the empirical experience gained in school development to date. These concepts are environmental education, development education/global learning and peace education. With the emergence of ESD and, notably, the launch of the…
The Potential of Education for Sustainable Development for Reform in Schools
Can the concept of education for sustainable development foster reform in schools? The discussion of this question is based upon some reflection on social challenges in education, on a brief presentation of three concepts of environmental education (OECD Project 'Environment and School Initiatives' (ENSI); Action Competence Model; Socio-ecological Environmental Education) and on a closer theoretical look at the term Education for Sustainable Deve…
Schools
This article explores the concept of 'ecologisation of schools' as a form of school development and is based upon a study commissioned by the Federal Austrian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs. On the basis of a material and literature search on models and experiences gained from school-based environmental projects in Central Europe and in England, some quality features for an ecologisation process of schools are suggested. These feature…
