Abstract	According to the theory of situation cognition, the instruction for conceptual knowledge is most effective when it is embedded in a phycsical and social environment. It would be easier to introduce the concepts of sustainable development to students by facing outdoor real environmental problems. In this study, a mobile learning module was developed for sustainability education, which involves a field trip along a local historical ditch and a decision-making exercise. The participants of trial tests were 8 highschool teachers and 14 tenth-grade students divided into 2 groups. Each student was provided with a mobile learning device, which is a PDA with location-aware learning materials and GPS. Students were guided by the mobile device to visit 5 waypoints showing various land-use types upon the ditch. They were asked to collect field data and interview local residents to evaluate 3 scenarios regarding the future development of the historical ditch. The results show that both teachers and students affirmed this module helped them to understand the local environmental issues as well as the concepts of sustainable development. Students stayed highly motivated during the learning activities because they felt they could find the locations and solve the problems by themselves with the assistance of advanced technology.
