可持续性发展能力教育在地理学高等教育课程体系中的作用分析

Analysis of the Competencies of Sustainable Development in Geography Curricula of Higher Education

摘要: 培养学生可持续性发展能力是高等教育改革的核心议题之一。以13所“双一流”高校143门地理学硕士专业课为例，定性分析可持续性发展能力教育在课程体系中的作用，发现系统性思维能力、愿景能力、战略性思维能力、规范性能力和人际关系能力等已普遍应用于地理课程设计，但使用频次差异明显；认为多元思维、多元方法和自主学习等潜在可持续性发展能力应纳入课程设计优化环节；建议加强可持续性发展能力理论的应用途径分析，完善其对地理学可持续性学科功能的支撑作用，为地理学硕士课程改革提供理论参考。

Abstract: Cultivating the competencies of sustainable development is becoming a key issue of higher educa-tion reforms. We collected 143 geography curricula from the 13 famous universities in China, which are approved under the national “Double First-Class” Initiative, China’s “Excellence Initiative” for institutions of higher education. A comprehensive analysis was conducted to understand the impacts of competencies of sustainable development (CSD) on master’s curricula by using qualitative analysis method. The results showed that systematic thinking ability, vision ability, strategic thinking ability, normative ability and interpersonal ability have been widely used in geography curriculum design, but the frequency of use is obviously different. Diversified thinking, diversified methods and autonomous learning ability are also important competencies of sustainable education, which should be added in the optimization of curriculum design. Finally, we elaborated the application of the CSD for improving educational process and supporting the sustainability function of geography. The results in this study can be used as a referring discussion for the development of sustainable higher education in geography discipline.
