Sustainable Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

The context of the European Higher Education Area requires the alignment of teaching degrees and research projects on offer at university level with social and labor market needs. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a sufficient base upon which scoring rubrics on teamwork and leadership can be established and/or expanded. Such rubrics will guide and assess not only what to do but also how must it be done. This approach will be built on both the classical Greek foundation of what constitutes action—praxis and poiesis—and on two areas of knowledge—management and ethics.
