Od ideje održivosti / održivoga razvoja do odgoja i obrazovanja za održivi razvoj u školama
From the Idea of Sustainability / Sustainable Development to Education for Sustainable Development in Schools

Summary/Abstract: The postmodern time of today, a time of ambivalent values, points to a need for adopting new value paradigms within the educational system. We hold sustainable development to be a scientific concept, a modern man’s philosophy of living, and a development practice that achieves a balance of economic-social-ecological goals for the benefit of future generations. Today when universal human values are impaired, man is directed to cultivate responsible relationship towards the environment by accepting sustainable development as a philosophical approach and pragmatic action with a system of basic human values and actions. In that sense, implementing goals, tasks, and contents of sustainable development into the contemporary curriculum must become imperative for a modern school. The paper reflects on the role of education for sustainable development in a contemporary school by giving an overview of scientific views, along with a critical reflection on the problem.
