1 Creating and testing educational theories and methods to promote Education tor Sustainable Development: OECDIENSI in Finland from A poster and handout in the thematic SEED/OECDIENSI conference School Development in ilse Light of Educutionfor Sustainable Deve!oprnent Chullengesfor Teacher Educailon und School, Sep 29 to Oct 3, 2004, Kassel, Germany Prof. Dr. Mauri Ahlberg Professor ofbiology and Sustainability Education Department of Applied Sciences of Education, University of Helsinki, FINLAND Address: P.O.ßox 9,00014 University of Helsinki, FINLAND mauri.ahlberghelsinki.fi Homepage: Since 1 960s 1 have followed international development of Environmental Education and tried to apply the best parts ofit to my own lift. From 1970s as a university teacher 1 developed own theories and own methods on basis of the best earlier one s 1 had found. In created a research group ofee. In 1997 our group bad a possibility to join OECD/ENSI project. lt was made possible by Professor Peter Posch, who bad in 1996 participated an international conference (Northem Call for the Environment), which we had arranged in Finland at University ofjoensuu, Savonlinna Campus. We have always wanted to leam from the best of each fleld, and in many ways OECD/ENSI was and is one of the best in the world. Learning from the best is an aspect ofmy high quality learning. Another aspect ofit is meaningftil leaming. 1 visited in 1993 at Cornell University, USA, to sttidy it and Vee heuristic, practice ofthem and their theoretical underpinnings for three months. Still another aspeet ofhigh quality learning is to construct own tentative theories on basis ofthe best earlier ones, to explicate them, to test them both theoretically comparing them to other theories and empirically in own practice. For all these purposes our research group has found concept mapping and Vee heuristics useflil tools. 1 have developed theories ofsustainable Development, integrating education, and high quality leaming. Methods 1 have developed in coopention with my researeh group include design experiments, integrating action research, an improved method of concept mapping, and an improved method ofvee heuristic. My research group has been tested them both theoretically and empirically since Ms. Vuokko Vienola was the first to have her PhD thesis in Mr. Markku Kankkunen bad his PhD thesis in After that the following persons have had their PhD theses: Mr. Raimo Pitknen 2001, Ms. Ilona Wilska-Pekonen 2001, Ms. Pirjo Änismaa 2002, Ms. Kaija Salmio 2004 and Ms. Vuokko Ahoranta Together from rny research group seven doctoral theses have been successftlly constucted. In was nominated as the first hill professor of Biology and Sustainability Education at Unversity of Helsinki, which is one of the ten leading research universities in Europe. 1 developed a new approach to Education for Sustainable development. 1 integrated my theory of Sustainable Development with theories of different capitals (natural capital, social capital, human capital etc.), and Professor Robert J. Sternberg s balanced theoiy ofwisdom, and accompanying theories of creativity and successhil intelligence. This project ofmy research group for the UN Decade ofeducation for Sustainable Development has been accepted into the Forum on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development, based at Harvard University, USA. 1.haiward.edu/bcsialfomm.nsf/proi/cultunllysd 1.harvard.edulbcsialforum.nsf/people/AhlbergMauri Some of the main ideas and tools are presented in the following figures.
2 arc needed to promote FIGURE 1. A theoretical framework for our research project to prornote the UN Decade ofeducation for Sustainable Development ( ). fle original figure was created by Professor Ahlberg in June 2004 during his visit at Yale Univesity, USA. This project has hill support of Professor Robert). Sternberg and his research group at Yale Univcrsity, USA. More international partners would be welcome. in
3 3 The Figurel shows only the main ideas what is needed to promote sustainable deveiopment in education. These ideas are more elaborated in the Table 1. Aspect ofsustainable Form of capital (accumulatcd work) Interests which ought tobe development balanced applying Sternberg s balanceil tbeory ofwisdom 1) Ecologically Natunl capital, accumulated work of Nature s interests, interests oflife, sustainable Nature, work of ecosystems and resulting ecosystems, biodiversity, protection development free services: cicaning of air, and water, ofnature, management ofnature fond, raw materials, biodiversity etc. 2) Economically Monemry capital, financial capital: lnterests of global, regional and local sustainable lnfnstrncmre, houses, factodes, roads, economy, interesis ofhouseholds, development money etc. interests of quality of life for individual and societies 3) Socially sustainable Social capital, social networks, family, lnterests of individuals, families, development friends, humankind, all who share societies and humankind for good life increasing and accumulating win-win thinking and acting 4) Culturally Cultural capital, in a new and broader Cultural interests, interest for sustainable sense: eveiyffiing worthwhile that education and leaming, developing development individuals, societies, organizations, abilities, competence and expertise, nations and humankjnd have leamt inlelligence, creativity and wisdom during history, including all developing abilities, competence and expertise, intelligence, creativity and wisdom. Culmral capital in this sense includes intellectual capital, creativity capital and a partofhuman capital. 5) Health-centered Heaith capital is an important pan of Health interests, interests for sustainable human capital which ought tb be taken obtaining anti maintaining optimal development care of. Good health is requirement Ihr all level ofhealth individualiy and other forms of human capital. socially, nationally anti for humankind 6) Politically Trust capital, political capital, e.g: Political interests, individual and sustainable Representatives of nations have signed group interests to promote common development many agreements to promote sustainable good as they understand it. Interest development. They have promised to promote lt. If the nations, municipalities, organizations anti individuals do not act as they have promised anti agreed on, thea they lose credibility, their trust capital, political capital. for obtaining am maintaining credibility, trust. Table 1. How different aspeets (components) ofsustainable development are related to different forms of Sustainable Development according to Ählberg (June 2004).

A concept map of concept mapping as a wrsatile tool for research. The most central concepts of this concept map based on the number of links with other concepts are concept maps and research methods both of which have live (5) links with other concepts.

Main ideas of integrating action research as a concept map. Originally Ahlberg (1994) developed the basic strategy, which has since then tested empirically in many doctoral theses.
7 7 Collaborative knowledge building as one ofthe main building blocks ofthe fourth phase of OECD/ENSI project in Finland Since the year 2000 we have experimented with coliaborative knowledge building using Knowledge Forum, a leading edge computer program deveioped for it. In visited three times at University oftoronto, Canada, to learn the method and its theoretical underpinnings from its developers professors Carl Bereiter and Marlene Scardamalla. We have mixed results after using the program for live years. Occasionally the use ofit may be veiy rewarding. For most participants it has been too time consuming.
