Abstract: 

This paper argues that teaching and learning for sustainable development requires a non-traditional methodology and explores the constructivist approach as providing a suitable methodology. In this exploration the paper shows the value of the constructivist approach but also indicates its limitations. The paper proposes, instead, a methodology that takes into account the usefulness of the constructivist approach, but extends it to one more anchored in community action.
