Arends [84] emphasises the need to implement several learning practices so as to make learning profitable and more efficient, considering the learning objectives, the environmental conditions and the traits of both students and teachers.…”

“…The role of Sociology of Education is very important in deconstructing representations that do not match reality, in a learning and teaching process that promotes sustainability in higher education, which tends to be extraordinary difficult [64,90,101]. Furthermore, there is the need to also consider in this process the traits of students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities [102,103].…”

Sustainability, sustainable development and education for sustainable development are increasingly central concepts, both in social practice and in the field of scientific knowledge. Sociology, and in particular Sociology of Education as a specialised Sociology, can provide relevant contributions in its promotion. This article aims to explore the importance of Sociology of Education in promoting sustainability literacy in higher education, using the Sustainable Development Goals and key competencies (United Nations and UNESCO) as the central reference in this field, and intends, thus, to become an added contribution for this discussion. The article seeks to demonstrate that the learning of sustainability literacy would benefit from the use of a sociological stance throughout this whole process that considers dimensions that are often not directly emphasised and articulated between each other, such as: interconnection of scale levels, sociological imagination, multi-paradigmatic nature, heuristic interdisciplinarity, reflexivity and use of Sociology for action.

“…Doyle and Davies, 2013). Kersten et al (2014) highlight the role of participatory methods, such as workshops. As Lähteenoja et al (2013, 1) point out, however, a 'lot of imagination is needed to understand how the shift from the current overconsumption can be turned into sustainable lifestyles for all.…”

“…On the basis of these ideas, each household created a roadmap detailing measures and pathways towards halving their material resource use. Previous studies (e.g., Kersten et al, 2014) have shown that such participatory methods are both valuable and empowering. The roadmaps served as the basis for the experimental part of the project.…”

, +358 50 448 0940) Highlights • A new methodology for studying sustainability transition at household level • The methodology covers assessment, vision development, experiments and upscaling • Measuring and reducing material footprints according to the MIPS concept • Households developed their own roadmaps towards sustainable resource use • Relevant experiments were tested and future services simulated Abstract This paper presents a new household-level methodology for transition towards sustainability. The methodology includes measuring the resource use of households on a micro level, testing relevant measures towards a one-planet resource use, and developing mainstreaming options in cooperation with households and providers of services, products, and infrastructures. We use the MIPS (Material Input Per unit of Service) method to calculate the use of natural resources and concentrate on the material footprint as an aggregated indicator for the overall use of material resources. With HST (Household-level Sustainability Transition) methodology, we extend the material footprint methodology from just measuring household resource use to developing visions, conducting experiments, as well as learning and upscaling, all of which contribute to the whole Transition-Enabling Cycle. Results from the first application of the HST methodology on five households in Jyväskylä, Finland, show that it is possible to achieve a significantly more sustainable level of consumption by a relatively few changes in everyday living. Achieving a one-planet use of material resources, however, also requires systemic changes.

“…Among these five criteria, stakeholder participation in the development of an eco-label appeared to be the most challenging to achieve. The participatory process is particularly important in empowering users as collaborators, deepening understanding of user experiences and perceptions as well as contributing to improved choices for pro-environmental interventions and stimulation of behavioral changes to produce long-term effects [19,20].…”

Participatory Environmentally Friendly Message Design: Influence of Message Features and User Characteristics

Labels and declarations are one of the tools of environmental management aimed at improving human behavior with regard to the environment. The development process of environmental labels and declarations has been strongly recommended to include participatory consultation with users. Research studies on participatory design of environmentally friendly messages, however, have never been seen. The purpose of this study was to examine participatory environmentally friendly message design with consideration for the effects of message characteristics and user factors. Forty Hong Kong Chinese people adopted a participatory draw-and-tell approach by drawing 26 environmentally friendly messages related to eco-products, energy conservation, and recycling and waste management, and then verbally described their design drawings. The results showed that environmentally friendly messages which were familiar, concrete, easy to visualize, and contained clear context were favored by users, and users with high object imagery preference benefited most from the participatory design through the draw-and-tell approach. This study fills the gap in the literature about participatory design in environmental labels and declarations which are used for promoting eco-friendly behavior in daily life. The findings should help facilitate the participatory development process of environmentally friendly messages for conveying pro-environmental actions.
