Sustainability in Teacher Education

2019

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will comprise a selection of papers addressing teacher education in sustainability. Teachers play an important role in promoting environmentally responsible citizenship. Teacher education in sustainability should be considered essential for introducing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in schools. However, for this education to be effective adequate training of pre-service and in-service teachers is needed. Higher education and other in-service training systems need to be reviewed to establish basic teacher′s competences in sustainability, as well as to analyze which pedagogic/didactic methodologies are the most appropriate to improve such competences.

This Special Issue focuses on studies evaluating and analyzing the relationship between ESD and teacher training. Authors from different disciplines, such as education, psychology, social sciences and other disciplines related to sustainable development issue are invited to submit their papers. Theoretical and applied research articles are welcome. Submissions for the Special Issue could relate, but are not limited, to the following topics:

Teacher training and ESD
Pre-service and in-service teacher education and ESD
Teacher Education Curriculum and ESD
Teacher evaluation and ESD
Teacher competencies in ESD
Policies for teacher training in ESD
Innovation of higher education institutions for teacher training in ESD
