“…• Evidence indicates that there are some serious games that fully contribute to the educational purpose of sustainable development (including the three dimensions, economic, social, and environmental). However, the use of serious games in sustainability is still incipient, and many of the games generated just include two out of the three aforementioned dimensions (i.e., generally both the social and environmental dimensions serve as a supporting feature while reflecting on the economic aspect) [94,95]. Considering its capacity of adaptation to different teaching methodologies and contents, it is mandatory to encourage a more integrative approach while considering the three dimensions.…”

The prevailing need for a more sustainable management of natural resources depends not only on the decisions made by governments and the will of the population, but also on the knowledge of the role of energy in our society and the relevance of preserving natural resources. In this sense, critical work is being done to instill key concepts—such as the circular economy and sustainable energy—in higher education institutions. In this way, it is expected that future professionals and managers will be aware of the importance of energy optimization, and will learn a series of computational methods that can support the decision-making process. In the context of higher education, this paper reviews the main trends and challenges related to the concepts of circular economy and sustainable energy. Besides, we analyze the role of simulation and serious games as a learning tool for the aforementioned concepts. Finally, the paper provides insights and discusses open research opportunities regarding the use of these computational tools to incorporate circular economy concepts in higher education degrees. Our findings show that, while efforts are being made to include these concepts in current programs, there is still much work to be done, especially from the point of view of university management. In addition, the analysis of the teaching methodologies analyzed shows that, although their implementation has been successful in favoring the active learning of students, their use (especially that of serious games) is not yet widespread.

This chapter explores the intricate socio-political-cultural factors affecting Thai design students' learning and examines the potential of games and gamification in sustainability learning as an unconventional design pedagogical approach in Thai higher education. This chapter's heart is an extensive participatory action research case study from the sustainable design course of two universities in Bangkok. The project allows students to learn from game design to raise awareness of sustainability-related issues and use the games to enhance their sustainability learning through peer interactions. Games and gamification can assist Thai design students in obtaining skills essential to education for sustainable development while reducing power distance and uncertainty avoidance among classroom members. Research findings also reveal the complex relationships between game-based pedagogical practice and cultural characteristics, such as fun-pleasure orientation and interdependence orientation.
