Este libro quiere entrar en la escuela para animarla a mirar con sumo interés e insistencia lo que ocurre en el medioambiente del que forma parte. Superada la separación entre lo natural y lo social, el medioambiente es cada vez más multidimensional: cercano y global, personal y colectivo, presente y futuro, causas y consecuencias, eventos y relaciones, utilitario y afectivo, imaginado y real, aprendido y vivido, condicionante y condicionado, libre y normativo, descrito y participado, etc. Para centrar esa inquietud propone al profesorado una mirada crítica colectiva desde la complejidad para que revise si existen unos saberes ambientales o son un invento, o se aprecian al resolver situaciones críticas; y si son más pertinentes unas metodologías que otras para motivar al alumnado a que transite desde los detalles al conjunto. Por eso en la segunda parte del libro se plantean sugerencias prácticas para la educación formal que abordan desde cuestiones del cambio climático, el ciclo de la vida de los productos, el uso de recursos y la generación de residuos, la gestión energética del centro escolar, las herramientas TIC en la percepción ambiental, etc., hasta llegar a las migraciones masivas, la ciudadanía global o los mapas del futuro del medioambiente dentro del contexto de unas escuelas ecosociales, tan necesarias en el momento crítico en el que vivimos.

As new technologies and professional profiles emerge, traditional education paradigms have to be adapted to new scenarios, creating favorable conditions for promoting transversal skills among students. Consequently, there is a growing demand for training in emergent skills to solve problems of different natures, distributive leadership competencies, empathy, ability to control emotions, etc. In this sense, one of the challenges that educators of all different educational levels and training contexts have to face is to foster these skills in their courses. To overcome these obstacles, innovative and disruptive methodologies, such as game-based learning activities like escape rooms, can be a great ally for teachers to work on transversal skills and specific knowledge at the same time. The Handbook of Research on Using Disruptive Methodologies and Game-Based Learning to Foster Transversal Skills gathers knowledge, skills, abilities, and capabilities on innovative and disruptive methodologies that can be applied in all educational levels to foster transversal skills. This publication contains different contributions focused on the description of innovative educational methods, processes, and tools that can be adopted by teachers to promote transversal skills such as creativity, critical thinking, decision-making, and entrepreneurial skills. This book is ideal for teachers, instructional designers, educational software developers, academics, professionals, students, and researchers working at all levels in the educational field and provides valuable background information to professionals who aim to overcome traditional paradigm obstacles and meet student needs by means of innovative and disruptive methodologies.

Including considerations of sustainability in universities’ activities has long since become mainstream. However, there is still much to be done with regard to the full integration of sustainability thinking into science and engineering curricula. Among the problems that hinder progress in this field, the lack of sound information on how to actually implement it is prominent. Created in order to address this need, this book presents a wealth of information on innovative approaches, methods and tools that may be helpful in translating sustainability principles into practice.
