Description

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and values for a sustainable future, yet remains limited in science curricula. This study explores: What are science teachers' views on student competences in ESD? How do they prioritize or dismiss these competences in their teaching? Using Q methodology and KADE software, we identified three factor arrays. Across all arrays, critical thinking and systems thinking were valued, though to varying degrees, while political agency was consistently seen as less important. Understanding these perspectives is crucial for shaping effective policies and frameworks.
