Resumen

La sostenibilidad es un tema que se ha reconocido como campo académico en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), especialmente universidades, a través de centros de sostenibilidad y programas ad hoc, desde los  cuales se lideran y coordinan esfuerzos al interior de los campus. Sin embargo, aún faltan acciones orientadas a infundir exitosamente este importante tema en las propuestas curriculares. Siendo una de las principales funciones de las IES la de educar para el presente y el futuro, estas instituciones se encuentran en una posición única para cubrir contenidos de sostenibilidad que preparen a sus estudiantes para liderar la sociedad y crear un  mejor futuro. En este contexto, el presente artículo explora el concepto de sostenibilización curricular en la educación superior chilena y propone algunas estrategias metodológicas que podrían ayudar a integrar este importante cambio de paradigma, desde una perspectiva metacurricular.
