| description | In the twenty-first century, social, environmental and technological
challenges demand new knowledge and educational innovations.
University has become an organization which has an objective to
operate more efficiently in relation to transformations to sustainability.
Businesses (in a wider sense: employers) and universities should
take specific steps in order to intensify the cooperation in producing
sustainability informed professional who will be able to engage with
the economic and social dimensions of sustainability. The purpose
of this paper is to conceptualize competence for sustainability as
the prevention of disbalance in higher education. The case of cooperation
while educating future law enforcement officers is at the
focus of analysis. The methodology of this study relies on two baselines.
Our first baseline for further analysis is the statement that
sustainability informed professionals may only be educated if a
sustainable education in higher education is an overarching reality.
Firstly, the concept of sustainability is explored using descriptive
methodology. Secondly, the forms of manifestation of sustainability
will be presented through the lens of examples: the case study of
Lithuania, illustrated by experiences of two Lithuanian universities.
The conclusions reached are as following: only the balanced education
of all the enumerated (and may be even more) sub competencies
may lead to a sustainability – informed professional. It is important
not to emphasize instrumental sub competence at the expense
of personal or social development of a student/future professional. |
