Building bridges to sustainable education: Integrating AI and infrastructural capacities for eco-centric pedagogy

Abstract

Education plays a vital role in leading individuals towards an environmentally balanced future as part of the effort to achieve sustainable development. This study examines the required infrastructure needed to effectively deploy eco-centric pedagogy in various educational environments, focusing on the transformational impact of artificial intelligence (AI). This research used a mixed-methods approach, incorporating case studies from different geographical regions, to investigate the interaction between infrastructure, curriculum design, instructional practices, and community engagement. The study examines the essential elements of educational infrastructure that facilitate eco-centric teaching methods and assesses the capacity of AI to improve these endeavors. Hence, it argues for a comprehensive strategy for educational development that combines empirical facts and theoretical insights. It proposes leveraging technological improvements and eco-centric principles to foster environmentally conscientious learners. The results emphasize the need to develop and support the necessary infrastructure to drive substantial changes in educational systems, ultimately contributing to the worldwide effort to achieve sustainability.
