Resource usage : time as a resource : images and objects : active methodology toolkit 4

Abstract

This resource entitled Resource Usage - Time as a Resource Images and Objects Active Methodology Toolkit 4 is a result of contributions, reflections and development work carried out by the PERL Work Group 4a (Active Learning Methodologies). The toolkit is part of a series of ‘toolkits’ on the theme of sustainable development and responsible living. The toolkit is designed to support and encourage teachers, tutors and lecturers to integrate some of the concepts of sustainable development into teaching and learning. It takes a holistic approach to the use of resources for future responsible living and involves learning how to anticipate the consequences of actions, envision a sustainable future and create the steps needed to achieve the vision. A sustainable future will be built on the choices that are made, and the actions taken, by individuals in their families and local communities and extend to affect national, international and global resources. The toolkit focuses on using a range of active teaching and learning approaches and strategies to explore the themes of: - the inter-relationship between environmental, economic, social and political resources in everyday life - time as a resource and the ability to think of the future - critical analysis, planning and decision making in determining personal action.
