Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a cross-curricular approach that needs to be accommodated in all subjects in the training of students as recommended by UNESCO. This South African case study of preservice geography students is presented for the purpose of understanding how they experienced systems thinking and a cooperative teaching strategy. A qualitative research approach was applied as the research design. Interpretation of the data was done through thematic analysis, which indicated that exposure to the pedagogic approach bore positive results. Teaching and learning strategies promoting the integration of ESD should form part of the training of geography students.  相似文献

城市群是国家工业化和城镇化发展到高级阶段的产物,是高度一体化和同城化的城市群体,城市群形成发育过程是一个各城市之间由竞争变为竟合的漫长自然过程,遵循自然发展规律。天山北坡城市群位于丝绸之路经济带核心区新疆的北疆地区,是国家“十三五”期间推动建设的19个城市群之一,也是重点建设的两个边疆地区城市群和丝绸之路经济带核心区建设的唯一一个城市群。本文分析了天山北坡城市群可持续发展的战略基础、发展机遇及存在问题,提出了天山北坡城市群可持续发展的战略定位、发展目标和空间布局设想。按照“创新驱动、开放带动、内外联动、重点撬动、兵地互动”的发展思路,未来可将天山北坡城市群建成丝绸之路经济带重要的战略支撑点、全国重要的战略资源加工储运基地、新疆城镇化与经济发展的核心引擎,边疆民族团结和兵地融合发展示范区;按照城市群内部干旱脆弱的生态功能区、产业集聚的生产功能区、城镇集聚的生活功能区三大功能分区管控要求,做实一带（丝绸之路经济带城镇化发展带）,做强一圈（乌昌五都市圈）,做通两轴（乌拉斯台口岸-准东-南疆库尔勒轴线、克拉玛依-奎屯-南疆库车轴线）,做精四区（包括奎独乌胡都市区、石沙玛都市区、克拉玛依都市区和吐鲁番都市区四大兵地融合型都市区）,形成由 “一带一圈、两轴四区”组成的“夫”字型兵地融合发展空间新格局。  相似文献
