An International Reconstruction of Teachers’ and Teacher Educators’ Perspectives on the Challenges of Education for Sustainable Development in Teacher Education

The study aims to discuss the challenges of teachers and teacher educators in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and how teacher education can support the implementation of the concept. Teacher education is a central part of higher education which plays a crucial role in supporting the sustainable future. The work is based on qualitative research with the help of group interviews during international online webinars. The findings point out challenges and needs at the stakeholders and policy levels. Educational stakeholders as well the policymakers need more knowledge and a better awareness of sustainable learning for the transformation in teacher education and to rethink educational programmes.
