A Sustainability Education Model: Schumacher College
Shumacher College was introduced as a model for sustainability education and discussed according to basic principles of sustainability education. The study was conducted within the context of a project (Ecological Literacy Education) that has been supported by TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Organization). Schumacher College was investigated by using the observation and interview techniques according to relevant learning paradigm, content, learning settings and practices. Shumacher College comes to the fore as a unique example in terms of sustainability education in the UK. However, it is far away from satisfying the basic principle of sustainability education with regards to content, learning settings and practices. Especially, it can’t be ignored that the operation of the related model looks inconsistent to the philosophy of Schumacher small is beautiful. Also, the study can contribute to the spread of the education models for sustainability in Turkey and around the World and to improving the efficiency of such models.
