Education and Learning for Sustainable Futures : 50 Years of Learning for Environment and Change
Responding to growing interest in the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and global concern over climate change, this volume provides an analysis of how our understanding of the relationship between environment and education has evolved during the past 50 years. Spanning from the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment through to the present day, chapters examine whether our approach to education about environmental sustainability is enacting effective change.Examining the evolution of educational approaches to environmental learning, contexts, and themes, this book moves through the decades, from the 1970s until the 2020s, tracking the impact of historical events and shifting sustainability discourses within education.Through historical, research-based analyses, this book recognises patterns, trends, and countertrends that help critically (re)assess the potential of education in creating a world that is more sustainable than current scientific predictions estimate. Proposing a set of key considerations for the future of environmental education, this accessible book will be of value to scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working within sustainability education, environmental research and policy, and teacher education more broadly.

Learning from the COVID-19 Pandemic : Implications on Education, Environment, and Lifestyle
COVID-19 is a highly contagious viral illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome SARSCoV-2.It has had a devastating effect on the world’s demographics with high morbidity and mortality worldwide.After the influenza pandemic of 1918, it has emerged as the most consequential global health crisis.After the first cases of this predominantly respiratory viral illness were first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in late December 2019, SARS-CoV- 2 rapidly disseminated across the world in a short span of time, compelling the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.The outbreak of COVID-19 has proven to be a worldwide unprecedented disaster.It has physically, psychologically, socially, and economically afflicted billions of people across the globe.Its transmission is significantly high. Serious postrecovery has been noticed in a large number of people.The virus is highly mutable and new and new strains are appearing, and many of them such as delta, BA1 and BA2 subvariants as well as their hybrids have been considered by the WHO as concerning.The virus has exhibited deleterious impacts on bodily systems other than the respiratory system (primary target) such as the brain, hematological system, liver, kidneys, endocrine system, etc.Right after its declaration as a pandemic by the WHO in March 2020, governments in various countries declared lockdowns to combat the spread of disease, causing major disruption to the lives of billions of people. Besides the impact on health and healthcare systems, education was changed with the introduction of online and or hybrid systems to help students continue to learn.Though the pandemic has subsided now, the emergence of new variants continues and lifestyle changes such as online learning and work from home have continued. Researchers who successfully mitigated the negative impact of social media and effectively used it for acceptance of medicinal or non-medicinal measures during pandemics by developing a realtime information sharing system and assembling a multidisciplinary team of experts to collect and analyze data from a variety of social media platforms across the global diaspora to better understand people’s perceptions and attitudes, as well as to spot early warning signs of error and correct them before they proliferate.They also emphasized the necessity of addressing people’s perceptions in order to increase awareness and education, so that social media may be used to promote public trust collaboration, and improved adherence to epidemic control measures.In totality the pandemic affected the environment and ecosystem as a whole positively due to a decrease in vehicles on roads and less movement of persons from one place to another.However, medical waste was increased and new measures were needed to handle it.People have had to change their habits in everyday life in order to live with the pandemic and protect themselves and others. This volume focuses on the implications of COVID-19 on education, environment, and lifestyle.It includes chapters on the transformation of education systems and introduction of hybrid modes of education, impact on environment, management of solid wastes, and development of innovative gadgets and architectural designs to help deal with the pandemic.Other chapters cover diet, family systems, and adoption of new norms in pandemic times. This book will be a valued resource for students, teachers, and researchers of social science and science as well as public health workers.

Teaching Practices in a Global Learning Environment : An Interdisciplinary Take on International Education
This book examines teaching practices in international education, focusing on two significant meanings of the notion of ‘practice’: the concrete activities used by university lecturers and the role of education as a platform for transferring particular skills or approaches.In addition to discussing techniques involved in programme design, curricular development, course activities, multicultural teamwork and examination, the author explores the idea of the lecturer as an actor communicating practices, considering the role and responsibility of academic staff in the development of successful international education.With attention to the importance of the context of internationalisation, the book draws on research from two major research projects, presenting extensive interview material with teaching staff engaged in international education and projects of internationalisation.Combining the approaches of ‘pragmatism’ and practice theory, as developed by Bourdieu and Schatzki, among others, Teaching Practices in a Global Learning Environment addresses themes including the international-ness of academic disciplines, the biographies of international educators, and language issues emerging in international education.As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and policy makers with interests in pedagogy, internationalisation and higher education.

How does learning occur in interaction with the environment?
Learning occurs in interaction with the environment through a process of observation, exploration, and experience. When individuals engage with their surroundings, they are able to gather information, make connections, and develop an understanding of the world around them. This interaction allows for the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, and behaviors as individuals adapt and respond to the stimuli present in their environment. Additionally, feedback and reinforcement from the environment can further shape and refine the learning process, leading to the acquisition of new information and the development of cognitive and behavioral abilities. Overall, learning in interaction with the environment is a dynamic and ongoing process that is essential for individual growth and development.

What exactly are the learning environment and self-regulation, and what are the differences between them in education?
The learning environment refers to the physical, social, and emotional context in which learning takes place. It includes factors such as the classroom layout, resources, teacher-student interactions, and peer relationships. Self-regulation, on the other hand, refers to the ability of students to manage their own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in order to achieve their learning goals. It involves skills such as setting goals, monitoring progress, and adapting strategies to meet challenges. The main difference between the learning environment and self-regulation is that the learning environment refers to the external factors that influence learning, while self-regulation refers to the internal processes that enable students to take control of their own learning. The learning environment sets the stage for learning, providing the resources and support necessary for students to engage in self-regulated learning. In essence, the learning environment creates the conditions for self-regulation to occur.
