The research is an attempt to understand the nature of «innovation» phenomenon of, to outline its essential features. The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that in the context of new globalization challenges, paradigm shifts and transformational processes, the concept of innovation acquires the meaning of the strategic imperative of education of the third millennium, and innovation is considered a prerequisite (conditio sine qua non) for higher education. The purpose of the article is to clarify the essence of the phenomenon of «innovation», its genesis in the development of domestic and foreign higher pedagogical education, outline and analyze the determinants that define innovation as a prerequisite for the development of domestic higher pedagogical education. To achieve this goal, theoretical methods were used: analysis and generalization of scientific sources to outline the genesis, essence and attributive characteristics of the phenomenon of «innovation»; terminological analysis to clarify the basic concepts of the study; analysis of normative-legal documents regulating the development of higher education in Ukraine to clarify the legal support of the imperative of innovation in the development of higher pedagogical education; generalization and systematization of existing experience on this problem to formulate their own views on the innovative development of higher pedagogical education in a modern university as a scientific category.The term «innovation» nowadays is perhaps the most used in the context of paradigm and legislative changes, standardization of higher education, transformation of the content and technology of training, changing approaches to the organization and conduct of training and more. Changes in education and science, their development and constant renewal are a necessary condition for the life of modern society, and innovation becomes its alter ego. Having come a long way in history, «innovation» is now often seen as a tool for transforming various areas of socio-cultural activity; as an innovation that is not yet widespread in social activities or production; as the end result of the introduction of scientific and technological progress for the sustainable development of society. This contradiction of interpretations of the phenomenon of «innovation», on the one hand, and declaring it as a key tool for building a society of sustainable development, highlighted the need to explore the nature of «innovation», understand its determinism and basic elements, outline conceptual approaches to modernization of higher education. principles.

Good teaching practices are developed in order to improve student learning. With technological and social development, educational practices increasingly demand the use of technology, so having good teaching practices with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is essential. At the same time, the Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations for the year 2030 is setting the principles of sustainable action for today’s society. In this context, the following objectives were proposed: to identify the good teaching practices with ICT that are being developed in Spanish higher education and to establish the relationship between good teaching practices with ICT and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). For this purpose, the method of systematic review of the literature based on the PRISMA protocol was used. A total of 27 documents published in the period 2008–2019 on good teaching practices with ICT in Spanish higher education were analyzed. Among the results, the emerging trend of good practices with ICT, the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as the main technology in good practices, and the majority of good practices in the development of SDG #4 (Quality Education) are highlighted. Finally, it is a challenge for teachers to include all these aspects in their classroom teaching.

This paper reports the findings of the perceptions and attitudes towards sustainable development among Malaysian undergraduates. The study was carried out involving 154 undergraduates from five universities in Malaysia. This research was conducted based on a survey whereby the respondents were given a questionnaire to gauge their perception and attitude towards sustainable development. The output of the analyses showed that the respondents have positive perceptions and attitudes towards all sustainability dimensions—environmental, economic, and social—except for economic and social bound issues. These findings suggest that the educators who are involved in sustainable development education need to focus on economic and social bound aspects. Overall, the findings showed that the sustainable development education in higher education institutions has cultivated an appropriate sense of responsibility towards sustainability among their undergraduate students. As such, this investigation serves as a cornerstone to which the current paradigm of sustainable development education can be examined for further improvement by related stakeholders.

Higher education must include training in sustainability to make all actors aware of the serious problems our planet is facing. Mathematics plays an important role in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and at the same time these allow working with real situations in the subject of mathematics, providing the student with active learning. Sustainability is used to make the student see the usefulness of mathematics while instilling values and attitudes towards it. A set of problems have been raised during the academic year that are solved with the developed mathematical techniques, and through a survey, the students’ perceptions about the usefulness of mathematics to reach the goals established in the SDG has been evaluated. The results show that, regardless of the student’s gender, the student’s assessment of the usefulness of this subject in solving real problems improved. It has been observed that this teaching methodology has helped to motivate students and even those who do not like this subject have improved their appreciation of it.

Sustainability, as a key concept in the education field, has submitted a relevant change during the last years. Thus, there is a growing debate about its meaning. It has undergone a crucial merging of significances from many fields: Ecology, environmental awareness, but also from politics, ethics or even spiritual approaches. All these fields have been co-involved in the building of such subject concept. In this sense, this article addresses the different ways of understanding sustainability as a polyhedral concept and how sustainability can be understood under the umbrella of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, it is proposed a conceptual framework to teach this UN Program at Higher Education, contributing to the training of undergraduate and postgraduate students from both a professional and a personal point of view. This framework is applied in a case study—in particular, in a course of Primary Teacher Degree called Didactics of Matter and Energy. This article finishes with practical consideration to build a change-maker University.
