Leading organisational change in a catholic school community
This paper investigates the leadership dynamics of a large-scale amalgamation between two Catholic schools in Australia, using Kotter’s Eight-Step Change Model as the primary evaluative framework. Drawing on a mixed-methods case study, which includes stakeholder surveys, principal journals, and meeting minutes, the research explores how school leaders navigated structural reform, cultural integration, and stakeholder resistance within a faith-bas…
Philosophy of Education and Economics
Relatively little contemporary philosophy of education employs economic concepts directly. Even where issues such as marketisation of education are discussed there may be little clarification of underlying concepts. The paper argues that while much contemporary economic thinking on education may be philosophically naive, it is also the case that philosophy of education can productively engage with particular economic insights and perspectives. Th…

Developing sustainable development within the higher education curriculum
This paper explores a particular contemporary instance of the implementation of central government policy linking higher education and sustainable development. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE)'s strategic plan for Citation2006–2011 (HEFCE Citation2006) includes a commitment to establish a baseline assessment of the contribution of the higher education sector to sustainable development by 2008 and to make progress in this r…

Sustainable Development within UK Higher Education
In response to the various calls for sustainable development, a range of activities has been initiated by central and local government, business, NGOs and other institutions. In this paper, the authors focus on the important learning context of higher education. They review the agenda established at Rio and, through a critical examination of developments within the UK, comment on issues and challenges facing the sector

Rethinking the natural capital metaphor
One way in which the concept of sustainable development has been understood is through the metaphor of natural capital. This sees that the natural world has performing functions similar to those of economic capital. This metaphor is usually developed by applying to Nature standard economic techniques for capital valuation. However, where valuation of economic capital is complex, additional techniques are often used. One such technique is ‘real op…
Sustainable Development and Learning
This book examines the difficult and wide-ranging issues relating to how we understand our environment, our place in it, and how we choose to act. This comprehensive text provides an overview of these developing key issues, illustrating how - through schooling, higher education, professional training and development, and awareness-raising - people can bring about change, as well as engaging in debate and critique of issues. The book builds on exi…
Increasing the Value of the Environment
Academic debate continues about the meaning (or lack of meaning) of the terms 'sustainable development' and 'sustainability', and about the nature of any relationship these might have to education and learning. At the same time there are non-academic forums in which certain ideas about sustainable development (or sustainability) are becoming common currency. These are forums in which, typically, policy or compliance issues compel more or less pro…
Whose Gap? Whose Mind? Plural Rationalities and Disappearing Academics
The article recognises the usefulness of the model advanced by Kollmuss and Agyeman (2002), but argues for the need to recognise that the key term 'pro-environmental behaviour' is problematic. Also, a further problem with the model lies in its failure to account adequately for the role of the researcher in determining criteria for pro-environmental behaviour which then become a basis for evaluating educational success. Using an approach developed…

Adding Value
The integration of environmental education into business and management training presents serious difficulties. At the same time, there are persuasive reasons to attempt it. An approach is proposed which respects the concerns of both disciplines, while making environmental education for sustainability its central process. Appropriate frameworks for action‐based learning and evaluation of outcomes are drawn from the literature of environmental edu…
Environmental Education in a Region of Rapid Economic Development
Conflicts between developmental and environmental goals are reflected in differing approaches to education. Competing views of the origins of, and the potential solutions to, environmental problems have given rise to alternative theoretical approaches to environmental education. Sarawak, a State of East Malaysia, exhibits both rapid development and rapid environmental degradation. However, no existing theoretical approach to environmental educati…
