Abstract

Objectives This study aims to examine the experiences of prospective early childhood teachers in integrated children's movement activities centered around Education for Sustainable Development(ESD). The objective is to explore an integrated approach to ESD by analyzing these movement activity experiences.
 Methods To achieve this goal, 45 first-year students enrolled in the Department of Early Childhood Education at University A in Gyeonggi-do participated in early childhood movement education classes from September 1 to December 9 in the second semester of 2022. The curriculum focused on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Integrated children's movement activities were designed and implemented under the theme of ESD. Data collection involved qualitative analysis of each team's children's movement activity plan, movement activity ex-ecution report, open-ended questionnaires, and interview data.
 Results First, the themes of global environment, prosperity, people and peace emerged in that order among the five areas of the Sustainable Development Goals in integrated children's movement activities. Second, pro-spective early childhood teachers showed increased interest in, understanding of, and practical application of sustainable development through the composition of children's movement activities with ESD content. Third, the study confirmed the potential for an integrated approach to ESD as prospective early childhood teachers en-hanced their expertise in creating integrated movement activities based on the sustainable development goals.
 Conclusions The study proposes an integrated approach to early childhood movement education and sustainable development education as a means to enhance the sustainable development education capabilities of prospective early childhood teachers during their training. This approach aims to equip them with the necessary skills to effec-tively integrate ESD principles into their future teaching practices.
