Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-39365-5 (ISBN)
This book functions as a practical guide to support teachers and higher education institutions in the construction of their courses and programmes in light of the Anthropocene. It is divided into two complementary parts. The first part lays the theoretical foundations of what is a transition pedagogy and provides a pedagogical framework. It offers practical tools and didactic levers to be used by teachers and institutions to build a truly transformative pedagogy for students, with reference to universities already experimenting such alternative methods. The second part presents an analysis of the pedagogical tools and levers experienced in worldwide institutions, by teachers, as well as philosophers and experts of pedagogy.
The authors of this book advocate for an embodied pedagogy which not only gives students access to content but also to ways of thinking and acting in all conscience. A pedagogy of the Anthropocene epoch therefore encourages the mobilization of reason, emotions and senses as well as systemic reflection in the questioning of our lifestyles and the development of transversal skills. Based on internationally recognized research and practical experiences of institutions and teachers all over the western world, this book gathers the knowledge and experience of professors and researchers, coming from a wide variety of disciplines and cultural context. Their reflections have led them to develop a "head-heart-body approach" and a "6 Gates questioning method" to remodel pedagogy. This book is of interest to those working in the education sector.lt;p>Cécile Renouard is a doctor of philosophy and professor of philosophy and ethics. Graduate of ESSEC Business School, she holds a doctorate in political philosophy (EHESS) and wrote her dissertation on the ethical and political responsibility of multinational companies in developing countries. She has worked since 2006 on the evaluation and measurement of the contribution of companies to the quality of the social and ecological link, in different territories.
She teaches at ESSEC Business School and MINES ParisTech graduate school since 2008. Her long-term research and teaching experience in prestigious schools on ethics has led her to question the pedagogical practices applied in higher education. In 2017, she co-created the Transition Campus (Campus de la Transition), an inter-academic institution where students, professors and professionals are trained to fully understand and integrate the challenges of the ecological and social transition. The Transition Campus develops and experiments a transformative and interdisciplinary pedagogy, involving head, heart and body which has proven its consistence and is currently being disseminated in a wider specter of academic institutions in France.
