Cultural characteristics of different countries influence their understanding of sustainability
Early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS) is an emerging area of academic interest internationally. While it’s generally recognized that ECEfS can be effective in helping young children develop attitudes and behavior towards sustainability, research on how ECEfS is differently understood within different cultural contexts is limited. This study adds to the literature by comparatively analyzing sustainability concepts as expressed in early childhood curricular documents from two culturally distinctive countries (Australia and Korea).
