Exploring Heuristics and Testimony in Education for Sustainable Development: Using the Visual Cues Approach to Disrupt, Discuss, and Deepen Introspection

Charlotte Holland

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Constructivism, Fast Thinking, Heuristics and Sustainable Development” by Hugh Gash. Abstract: I examine the opportunities and challenges in focusing on heuristics and testimony as a means to deconstruct thinking about sustainable development. Also, I posit the use of the Visual Cues pedagogic approach as a means to reveal heuristic thinking pathways, and to engage learners in deeper introspection of their own and others’ perspectives, beliefs, and ethical-values bases vis-à-vis sustainability.
