The teaching and learning methods for promoting sustainability in geography have not been thoroughly studied. This qualitative study examined articles on geography teaching and SD. The material was selected using keywords related to geography education. The study describes 17 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals from 2008 to 2018. The focus group varied from primary to higher education. The proportion of teaching and learning methods were determined. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The foci of the analyses were the teaching and learning methods, topics, goals, and levels of thinking skills. Additionally, features of the teaching methods used in geography education, including outdoor education, to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) were investigated. Different teaching methods used together and interactive learning were the most often preferred. Group work and teachers’ presentations were mentioned in 12 articles, and inquiry-based learning and argumentation in half of the articles.

Sustainable development is included in various ways in the Educating for Gross National Happiness Training Manual (GNH TM) developed by the Ministry of Education of Bhutan in 2013. GNH-focused education aims at developing students’ respect and critical thinking for the well-being of human beings and the environment. The article provides an overview of 26 selected articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals from 1991–2021. Altogether, 12 sustainable development-focused transformative education articles were analyzed in detail using qualitative content analysis. The results of the study show that transformative education is reflected in many ways in the teaching goals, objectives, contents, and methods introduced in the GNH TM units. Consequently, transformative education and teaching have become part of teaching in Bhutan’s schools, with an emphasis on sustainable development and protection of the environment. However, for a sustainable future, active student-centered teaching and learning methods should be used in a more diverse way.

A new quality of learning and teaching in general, is an absolute priority for education. The teachers are not only sources of information, they are also meant to lead managers and teaching so as to develop the interaction among students and training/development of key social personality traits. The students want to understand natural phenomena, to know scientific truths and to acquire knowledge to be applied in practice and for these reasons they are dissatisfied by the traditional education. The teachers and students, in most universities that have used the traditional lecture in courses, have revealed the limited effectiveness in both teaching and learning. The teacher must use methods to encourage discovery learning, heuristic and research methods. Dynamic and communicative teaching methods, also called interactive teaching methods, constitute the basic elements of a recently developed process to motivate learning, so that the students and future engineers develop a critical position about the taught content. Using interactive techniques and strategies, the students become more engaged in learning; retain more information, thus becoming more satisfied.

Education plays a very pivotal role for human beings in achieving social welfare, without any discrimination, including children with special needs. The existence of inclusive schools becomes a solution in fulfilling special needs children’s right to education. It is due to the fact that they can learn and socialize with physically and mentally healthy children in inclusive schools. This present study aims to explore the learning concept of Islamic education applied for teaching children with special needs at SD Semai Jepara, one of inclusive schools in Central Java-Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was designed in this research. The findings promote that the implementation of Islamic education at SD Semai Jepara was similar to the one in regular schools. It indicates that the materials taught to the students were just the same. Nonetheless, the teaching methods used in delivering the materials were different. One of the teaching methods employed in teaching Islamic education for the special needs children was parody. Additionally, in certain materials, the children were divided into two learning groups, namely: large and small ones, to enhance the teaching and learning processes. This study also exposes that the teachers are supposed to be as creative as possible in creating appropriate learning atmosphere in teaching Islamic education since there are lots of students with the variety of backgrounds who possess special needs.
