Teknik, engelska och hållbar utveckling : En kvalitativ studie hur hållbar utveckling framträder i ämnena teknik och engelska i läroplanen

Sammanfattning: Currently the Education for sustainable development practices obtain a critical spot in Swedish education, owing to its prominent position in international educational policy. This qualitative analysis, based on the Pragmatism Theory, aims in the first place to investigate in what way Agenda 2030 relate to the Swedish curriculum, and how it has changed between Lgr 11 and Lgr 22. This is assessed by analyzing parts of Lgr 11 and Lgr 22 with a focus on the subjects technology and English. The results show no conspicuous connection between the Agenda 2030 and the Swedish curriculum as well as this connection has not changed between Lgr 11 and Lgr 22. We conclude the paper by discussing that it is difficult to cover the three dimensions of sustainable development (the economic, the social and the environmental.) with only one subject. Therefore, Education for sustainable development requires correlated cooperation between teachers of different subjects in order to develop and enhance the student's knowledge of sustainable development.
