“…Taking into account the diminishing non-renewable resources of our planet, there is an urgent need to incorporate sustainable development topics in the education of engineers, including computer science engineers [25]. This is even more important in the former Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries, where little attention has been paid to sustainability both during the times of communism, as well as during the economic collapse that followed soon after [26].…”

With increasing awareness of the advantages of game-based learning, there is a growing number of studies showing its application to both computer science education and sustainable development education. In this paper, we describe, with the example of the Eco JSity application, how both of these areas can be combined into a single tool. The presented evaluation results showed that despite incorporating the sustainable development topics into both the theme and mechanics of the educational game, both the usefulness and ease-of-use of the application were still assessed positively by students. We also identified three clusters of students depending on their attitude towards combining education on computer science and sustainable development. We concluded that game-based learning provided a capable means of incorporating sustainable development topics into teaching of unrelated technical skills.

Research shows that the global society as organized today, with our current technological and economic system, is impossible to sustain. We are living in an era in which human activities in highly industrialized countries are responsible for overshooting several planetary boundaries, with poorer communities contributing the least to the problems but being impacted the most. At the same time, technical and economic gains fail to provide society at large with equal opportunities and improved quality of life. This paper describes approaches taken in computing education to address the issue of sustainability. It presents results of a systematic review of the literature on sustainability in computing education. From a set of 572 publications extracted from six large digital libraries plus snowballing, we distilled and analyzed the 89 relevant primary studies. Using an inductive and deductive thematic analysis, we study (1) conceptions of sustainability, computing, and education, (2) implementations of sustainability in computing education, and (3) research on sustainability in computing education. We present a framework capturing learning objectives and outcomes as well as pedagogical methods for sustainability in computing education. These results can be mapped to existing standards and curricula in future work. We find that only a few of the articles engage with the challenges as calling for drastic systemic change, along with radically new understandings of computing and education. We suggest that future work should connect to the substantial body of critical theory such as feminist theories of science and technology. Existing research on sustainability in computing education may be considered rather immature as the majority of articles are experience reports with limited empirical research.
