摘要

This research is an evaluation of the methodology used in the environmental programs in secondary education of Heraklion Prefecture of Crete in the frame of education for sustainable development （ESD）. An evaluation tool was applied on the application forms （AFs） and the final reports （FRs） of the school programs in order to assess how they promote sustainability and whether they satisfy the general guidelines and principles of the proposed methodology of ESD. The educational methodology, which was used in the programs, combined elements from the method of research essay and didactic research and was not rich in innovative educational techniques. Almost all programs, more or less, promoted the interdisciplinary approach, the teamwork with undertaking of responsibilities, division of roles, and promotion of self-action. Several activities took place outside the school on the field.
