A Survey-Based Study on Building a Sustainable Future through Teacher Education

Sustainable development has emerged as a global priority, highlighting the need for future teachers to be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to promote sustainability in educational settings. This paper explores the role of teacher education programs in fostering sustainable development, focusing on how B.Ed. programs can prepare future teachers to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. Through a mixed-method research approach, this study investigates the current state of sustainable development education in B.Ed. programs, identifies effective teaching strategies, and provides recommendations for integrating sustainability into teacher training. The findings highlight the critical role of teacher educators in shaping sustainable practices and suggest methods for improving sustainability awareness and action among B.Ed. students.
