A Study on Open Educational Resources for Sustainable Consumption of Mineral Resources
Abstract
Extensive attempts to extract limited mineral resources have degraded many environments and impeded living conditions on Earth. Hence, extraction, processing and consumption of such resources need optimized utilization to attain sustainability. The adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) in sustainable consumption of mineral resources could help educators to disseminate amongst key stakeholders, including students, knowledge and enhance understanding about the importance of utilizing mineral resources sustainability. However, despite the capability of reaching a wider audience unrestrictedly, existing OER seem to make limited contributions to the resource consumption domain. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted to understand the scope and explore the available literature, including open-access literature. The systematic review looked at only published material on open educational resources for sustainable consumption of mineral resources during 2014 to 2024 available in two prominent scholarly databases, Scopus & Web of Science. It adhered to the PRISMA framework. In this paper, we will explore further the rational underpinning of this study and discuss the findings of the systematic literature review. This work will complement the SDG in particular number 12: responsible consumption and production, in addition to demonstrating sustainable practices in the educational domain.
