“…Other scholars have critiqued and challenged the instrumental view on higher education by a call for revitalizing the concept of bildung within higher education. These scholars advocate the personal and cultural cultivation involved in higher education, as a way to counter the current situation with a narrow focus on efficiency, employability, and instrumental problem-solving (e.g., Karlsohn, 2018; Willbergh, 2015).…”

Sustainable development as a subject area and learning objective increasingly finds its way into the curriculum from pre-school to university level, and education and learning are emphasized as key drivers for sustainable development. At the same time, the sustainable development discourse has since its inception been met with critique, not least that it is a post-political discourse, which favours an instrumental view of knowledge and a simplified view of the relation between knowledge and action. In this article, we focus on the possibilities and challenges of teaching sustainable development in higher education. We argue that it is the formative role of higher education that is particularly important to explore in relation to the possibilities of education for sustainable development. In addition, we suggest that sociology can provide a good basis for both critical thinking and normative action, in ways that reaches beyond instrumental and narrow views of knowledge, human action and change.

Both Bildung and transformative learning theory focus on the transformative nature of education. Even though they have been developed in different continents and fairly independently of each other, they intersect, and at face value, they might appear to be very similar to each other. Both notions, though are perceived differently by diverse individuals, and even though these numerous perceptions do overlap at times, they also contrast on various points. This article gives a critical review of literature to help understand the similarities and differences between these two notions and outlines their importance in discourses surrounding education.
