Exploratory Study on the Competencies in Sustainability of Secondary School Students Facing Conflicts Associated with ‘Fast Fashion’
This exploratory study analyses the level of the development of the eight key competencies in sustainability of 237 students in the 7th–10th grades, when confronted with a real conflict situation associated with the production and consumption of ‘fast fashion’. Their responses were categorised into four levels, representing the degree of development of each competence. The results reflect a low level of competence development, with no significant…
ESD action competencies of future teachers
Purpose This study aims to analyse the self-perception of future secondary school teachers (FTs) of biology about their education for sustainable development (ESD) competencies and evaluate the competence profile they develop in their educational proposals. Design/methodology/approach A mixed methodological approach was used to analyse 162 FTs’ ESD action competencies as proposed by UNECE. Firstly, a six-point Likert-type scale questionnaire is u…
Do future teachers’ sustainability commitments really relate to action-oriented educational approaches
This work analyzes the educational proposals designed by 130 future secondary school teachers (FTs) to address socioecological problems -in this case, the presence of microplastics in the environment-, and the relationship with their own perceptions and commitments regarding these problems. The research design was mixed, with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data. Results showed that systemic thinking regarding the problems, with…
How Do Prospective Teachers Address Pupils’ Ideas during School Practices
This paper assesses the coherence between the conceptions of prospective teachers about pupils’ ideas and how these are used in their educational proposals for primary school classrooms. For this purpose, three dimensions were analysed: The nature, utilisation, and change of ideas. In addition, two instruments were used: A questionnaire, to find out what prospective teachers think about pupils’ ideas, and the educational proposals they designed d…
Trainee teachers’ perceptions of outdoor education
Getting pupils closer to nature seems essential, even more, after the pandemic. Therefore, schools and teachers have to take active part in this process trying to hold as many outdoor classes as possible. The implementation of this methodology requires well prepared teachers, which depends on teacher training institutions. In this regard, 551 trainee teachers from Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Spain and Norway were surveyed in order to analyse their …
Future teachers facing the problem of climate change
We explore the socio-ecological effects of meat consumption by assessing the impact of a didactical intervention. We focused on meat consumers’ profiles, their willingness to engage in pro-environmental actions and the allocation of responsibility for environmental issues. Using pretest-posttest-control methodology, a group of future primary-school teachers were surveyed before and after the intervention (TG, n = 95), together with a control grou…
The Opinion of Elementary School Teachers about the Use of ICT in Biology Classes in Four European Countries
In the 21stcentury pupils learn how to use technological devices from their earlychildhood. Therefore, the use of Information and Communications Technology(ICT) in teaching and learning processes seems obvious. For the purpose of thisresearch, 305 class teachers from four European countries (Serbia, Spain, Croatiaand Hungary) were asked about their experiences and opinions on the use of ICTin biology classes. The aim was to determine whether they…
Assessment of management measures for the conservation of traditional irrigated lands
An exercise in decision support modelling for islands
Decision support for island management must be based on quantitative tools able to integrate the natural, economic, and social environment, including the effects of recent climate change. In this context, a decision support framework is proposed, characterized by generality and flexibility, to be adapted to the specific characteristics of each island. The framework includes: (a) compilation of existing information and organization in a DPSIR fram…
Tools for sustainability assessment in island socio-ecological systems
An integral dynamic model, in combination with other methods (indicators, policy and scenario analysis), is presented as a tool for sustainability assessment in island socio-ecological systems (SES). The Fuerteventura sustainability model (FSM), tested for the 1996-2011, allows a better understanding of the dynamic interactions between sustainability indicators and other factors of this island. The FSM was first applied to analyse the vulnerabili…
