Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of elementary and secondary school teachers on sustainable development education and to provide educational implications for "Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)" execution in schools. The two hundred fifty five elementary and secondary school teachers from all over the country were participated in the survey. The questionnaire consisted of queries about the necessity of ESD, the possibility of ESD to resolve problems caused by public education, the willingness to execute ESD, the value of ESD, the prerequisites for executing ESD, the way to implement ESD (time and area), the barriers to implement ESD, the effects of ESD (on students, teachers, parents, and educational environment). The sustainable development presupposes changes in values and philosophy of individuals, society and nation. Therefore it is very important to approach in terms of education. On the basis of results, it is expected that the implications to introduce ESD in the schools will be attained.
