Achievement of ESD (Educational for Sustainable Development) through mathematics learning

Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is to know the concept of ESD, to know the perspective in ESD, to know the role of math teacher in ESD. Indonesia is a developing country which is actively doing national development from various sectors. This development has nothing but positive impacts or negative impacts. The positive impact is the development in Indonesia is good enough can be seen from improvements in the economic sector, education, infrastructure, and so forth. But the negative impacts come to the environment sector. Even environmental conditions in the last decade are getting worse. This is where the concept of sustainable development (sustainable development) is very important to be applied in order that development goes well without putting environmental interests aside.ESD (education for sustainable development) is a dynamic concept through education that has a noble value for the sake of the realization of a sustainable future. There are three main perspectives in ESD: Socio-cultural, environmental, and economic perspectives. Education as an approach used in ESD therefore the role of teachers and the learning process that is in it is very important. ESD can be instilled to learners one of them through learning mathematics.
