Why is it important?
Contribution to the literature • Previous studies have scarcely addressed the acquisition in sustainability of teachers and student teachers, and there are only a few studies on the inherent competencies of classroom teachers in sustainability. • This study responds to this research gap by examining key competencies for sustainability education among student teachers in the dimensions of sustainable developments based on their spontaneous written answers. • Study results show that sustainable development competencies and useful teaching methods to teach these skills should be accurately described in the teacher education curricula for fostering student teachers' thinking skills that are essential for understanding sustainable development.
