This Master’s Thesis focuses on the design, development, and pedagogical documentation of a digital course in the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), primarily addressed to educators and adult education trainers. The study is grounded in a systematic mapping of existing international digital courses on sustainability and teacher professional development, through which both good practices and specific pedagogical and design gaps were identified, particularly in relation to targeted application, interactivity, and pedagogical alignment.
The proposed digital course was designed in accordance with the principles of constructive alignment, microlearning, and active and reflective learning. Its structure is organized into short, self-contained learning units with clearly defined learning outcomes, a variety of multimedia resources, interactive activities, and formative assessment and self-assessment tools. Special emphasis was placed on linking theoretical knowledge with practical sustainability applications and on gradually empowering learners as agents of educational change.
The course was implemented in an asynchronous digital learning environment, making use of contemporary educational technology tools to enhance flexibility, self-regulation, and active learner engagement. The quality of the course was examined through an analytical self-evaluation process based on a structured evaluation rubric, covering the stages of design, development, and implementation.
Although the digital course has not yet been implemented under real educational conditions, its strong theoretical foundation, systematic alignment of learning outcomes, activities, and assessment, as well as the integration of internationally recognized pedagogical principles, highlight its potential as a well-documented digital professional development proposal in the field of sustainable education. This thesis aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the design of quality digital learning experiences for Education for Sustainable Development, offering a framework that can be adapted and applied to similar educational contexts.
