Integrating Sustainability Aspects into Computer Science Education
This paper explores the integration of sustainability into computer science ed-
ucation through the course Selected Topics in Computer Science with Didac-
tics at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana. The study examines
how project-based learning with digital technologies (Micro:bit, LEGO Mind-
storms, Scratch) fosters sustainability competences among pre-service teach-
ers. A qualitative case study was conducted with five master’s students, com-
bining written interviews with analysis of nine projects. Findings show that
students valued practical engagement, creativity, and interdisciplinary collab-
oration within STE(A)M contexts, while key challenges included limited time,
prior knowledge of electronics, and restricted access to equipment. Suggested
improvements involved longer project cycles and introductory modules. Re-
sults confirm that project-based learning effectively supports key UNESCO and
GreenComp competencies – including systems thinking, anticipation, critical
reflection, and strategic action – and aligns with the 4E cognitive framework.
The study provides evidence that integrating computational thinking and sus-
tainability fosters transformative teacher education.
Keywords: sustainability competences, computational thinking, project-based
learning, 4E cognitive framework, teacher education
