Education, Scientific Design, and Energy Transition: Integrated Pathways Toward a Culture of Sustainability

The debate on sustainability and energy transition has intensified in the face of contemporary environmental andsocial challenges, calling on education to assume a strategic role in preparing critical individuals committed tobuilding a balanced future. The methodological pathway was designed to ensure coherence between thetheoretical framework, reflective analysis, and the formulation of integrated approaches to a culture ofsustainability. This qualitative study relied on theoretical references that emphasize the interpretation andunderstanding of educational phenomena in their human and contextual dimensions. Scientific Design served asthe guiding axis, supporting the analysis of the interrelations among education, science, and sustainability, andinforming the development of pedagogical strategies aimed at preparing socially responsible citizens. The study’soverarching objective was to examine how Education, supported by Scientific Design, can contribute to advancingthe energy transition and strengthening a culture of sustainability in the preparation of critical and sociallyresponsible individuals. The proposals presented at the end of the study outline concrete possibilities forincorporating energy-related themes into curricula and reinforce the view that education is a fertile field for theconsolidation of transformative practices.
