Titre : Is teaching authority compatible with education for sustainable development? Philosophical approach Auteurs : Camille Roelens, Nicola Banwell, Revue : Educations Numéro : Issue 2 Volume : 6 Date : 2023/03/22 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2023.0962 ISSN : 2632-590X Résumé : This article is anchored in the philosophy of education combined with an interdisciplinary reflection that emerged from profound concern and an ethical reflexivity applied to teaching in the context of modern environmental challenges. We begin by showing that the awareness of the stakes of environmental sustainability makes it more necessary than ever to distance ourselves from the conceptions of legitimizing teaching authority that have traditionally been used, including in industrial modernity (1). We then outline a possible reconstruction of authority to render teaching autonomy durable in the face of such challenges (2). This involves, the revision of the very conception that the education institution may have of its responsibility in the face of present and future sustainability issues (3). Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
