Closing the Gap: The Tripartite Structure of Sustainability as a Tool for Sustainable Education—A Systematic Literature Review

(1) In an era where sustainable behavior is increasingly crucial, understanding the discrepancy between individuals’ sustainability-oriented values and their actual behaviors, known as the inner–outer gap, is vital. This systematic literature review explores the potential of the Tripartite Structure of Sustainability (TSS) framework to address this gap within the context of sustainable education. By reviewing the literature from the APA, ERIC, and Web of Science databases, searched on 25 October 2020, the factors influencing sustainable actions were systematically examined. Articles had to be relevant to the topic (sustainability, morality in relation to sustainability, or morality in general) and report on empirically validated factors that have an impact on the inner-outer gap. (2) By employing a qualitative content analysis approach, 56 articles over a 15-year period were analyzed, identifying 83 factors that either bridged or reinforced the inner–outer gap. These factors were categorized within the TSS framework, which segments sustainability-oriented actions into individual, social, and self-transcendent domains, alongside their activation points: stable, situational, or automated. (3) The analysis revealed that self-focused factors often reinforce the gap, suggesting they are a hindrance to sustainable behavior. Conversely, self-transcendent factors consistently bridged the gap, promoting sustainability. Social factors showed variable impacts based on the ethical and sustainable context they were placed in, suggesting that the social environment’s orientation significantly influences sustainable behavior. (4) This study concludes that the TSS framework offers a promising approach to advancing education for sustainable development (ESD) and contributes insights into how to promote the required paradigm shift towards holistic and interconnected perspectives.

Global Education Development Plan to Build Sustainable Education Based on Artificial Intelligence

Global education is an important aspect in preparing a generation ready to face the challenges of the future. In an effort to develop sustainable education, the use of artificial intelligence is one of the interesting potentials to consider. The research aims to explain the design of global education development aimed at developing AI-based sustainable education through library studies. The study uses a library study method by collecting, analysing, and synthesizing research, scientific articles, reports, and other relevant literary sources. The research focuses on three important aspects in the design of AI-based global sustainable education development, namely, learning personalization, adaptive curriculum development, and student progress assessment and monitoring. The library study results show that the use of AI in education can enable more effective learning personalization. With AI, learning materials can be tailored to individual student needs and preferences, enhancing their engagement and understanding. Furthermore, AI-supported adaptative curricular development allows learning experiences that are adapted to student development and capabilities. Student progress evaluation and surveillance can also be enhanced through the application of AI. This technology can provide more objective and comprehensive assessment of student progress, helping teachers to provide more timely feedback and support better decision-making in learning planning. While the potential for the use of AI in sustainable global education is promising, there are challenges and consequences to bear in mind. Ethical aspects, student data privacy, and fairness in access and use of AI technology should be key concerns in designing sustainable global education development. The study provides insight into the design of AI-based sustainable global education development through library studies. These findings could provide a basis for further research and provide practical guidance to stakeholders in adopting and implementing AI technologies responsibly to develop sustainable education at a global level.

UGDYMAS TVARIAM VYSTYMUISI PRADINĖJE MOKYKLOJE: BŪSIMŲJŲ PRADINIŲ KLASIŲ MOKYTOJŲ POZICIJA

The results of the survey showed that a large proportion of pre-service teachers, when assessing the situation over the next 10 years in nine key areas (air pollution, deforestation, biotic crisis, greenhouse effect, water scarcity, radioactive waste, GMOs, water pollution, global warming), predicted that the situation would worsen in all areas. It is clear that such scenarios are mostly dependent on the socio-economic development of humanity and what measures/actions will be taken at national and international level to minimise the consequences of such predictions for humanity. The results of the study show that in the national context, sprawl and solid waste are seen as the most pressing environmental problems. Endangered species, deforestation, exotic plants and/or animals are not considered to be a pressing issue in Lithuania. The vast majority of preservice teachers consider their knowledge of sustainable development to be insufficient and say that much more is needed. These findings oblige curriculum designers and implementers to take this into account when improving/restructuring/developing curricula and constructing the content of individual subjects. The results suggest that the majority of respondents consider teaching about sustainable development at an early age to be very important. The latter variable is directly correlated with the need for knowledge about sustainable development. Respondents who emphasise the importance of teaching about sustainable development have a correspondingly higher need for knowledge about sustainable development. In addition, it is found that the majority of the respondents have a positive attitude towards sustainable development and only a small number of respondents have a neutral attitude towards it. The study certainly has some limitations. Firstly, the sample size of the study is small, despite the fact that it is in principle in line with the requirements of a preliminary/pilot study. Due to the homogeneity of the population studied, possible gender differences were not analysed. Keywords: education for sustainable development (ESD), quantitative survey, primary school, pre-service teachers, sustainable development

Values-Based Education for Sustainable Development (VbESD): Introducing a Pedagogical Framework for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Using a Values-Based Education (VbE) Approach

It is widely recognized that quality and sustainable education is a key enabler for all the SDGs, and that affective education significantly enhances such education. However, while certain pedagogical approaches have been found to support the competencies and skills within Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), there is no tangible framework to facilitate ESD in classrooms. This paper introduces and demonstrates Values-based Education for Sustainable Development (VbESD): a comprehensive, replicable, and actionable pedagogical framework that explicitly and holistically fosters sustainability as an intrinsic value by using the principles of Values-based Education (VbE) in an ESD context. The VbESD framework presents eight pillars—modelling, Inner Curriculum, reflection, atmosphere and ethos, curriculum, leadership, ethical vocabulary, and sustainable school operations (MIRACLES)⁠—that holistically facilitate the development of intrinsic positive values into quality education for sustainable development. Using a deductive-inductive approach with two mixed-method surveys and 157 responses, VbESD was developed and validated with significant interest in, support for, and willingness to implement the framework. All surveyees responded neutrally or positively to valuing sustainability, believing it is important as an intrinsic value, incorporating sustainability into the educational system, and implementing the VbESD framework. This study proposes VbESD as a potential method for primary educational institutions and educators to nurture resilient, ethically intelligent change-leaders who can champion the social change needed for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world.

Context-Based Teaching through Education for Sustainable Development in Philippine Secondary Schools: A Meta-analysis

Integrating sustainability into pedagogical strategies can potentially catalyze the promotion of sustainable development knowledge and practices, thus making it an imperative trend for educational institutions. The context-based teaching through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was instrumental in achieving sustainability competencies and in bringing positive education outcomes in various educational milieus. Studies on its implementation in the Philippine context are still limited. This paper examines the effectiveness of Context-Based Teaching (CBT) through ESD on the science performance of secondary students in the Philippines. It reviewed pedagogical strategies applied to embed Sustainable Competencies (SCs) in the teaching-learning process. Results revealed its effectiveness and highlighted key SCs that were mostly developed and those that were least emphasized. However, the indicated variables did not influence its effectiveness. For further research, other indicators of learning that may potentially affect its successful implementation can be critically investigated.

Building Capacity for Sustainability Education: An Analysis of Vocational Teachers’ Knowledge, Readiness, and Self-Efficacy

In contributing towards the discourse on developing teachers’ capabilities for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), this study examines the relationships between sustainability knowledge, readiness, and self-efficacy for teaching sustainability concepts among vocational teachers in Malaysian colleges. Grounded in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, the research assesses the combined effect of teachers’ sustainability knowledge and readiness on their ability to teach sustainability effectively. Using a cross-sectional survey design, a sample of three hundred and seventy-five (375) vocational college teachers and structural equation modeling (SEM), the results indicate no significant link between teachers’ sustainability knowledge and their readiness for ESD. However, a positive relationship between teachers’ readiness and their self-efficacy was found. The study shows that while sustainability knowledge does not directly enhance readiness for ESD, it is a strong predictor of self-efficacy in teaching sustainability. Moreover, readiness has a greater effect on self-efficacy than sustainability knowledge alone, highlighting the importance of conceptual understanding in building teachers’ confidence and competence in sustainability education. Despite focusing specifically on Malaysia and using self-reported data, which to some extent limits the study’s findings, the outcomes offer practical insights for educational policymakers, vocational institutions, and educators. They underscore the need for a comprehensive educational approach beyond just knowledge transfer. This research contributes to the sustainability education discourse and suggests areas for future studies, including exploring contextual differences and adopting longitudinal study designs to better understand the dynamics between sustainability knowledge, readiness, and teaching self-efficacy in vocational education.

Applying structural equation modeling to examine the role of teacher beliefs and practices in differentiated instruction in physical education: Multiple mediation analyses

AbstractDifferentiated instruction remains one of the most important frameworks for the global education community to achieve sustainable educational development goals and inclusive education. It is also one of the most critical challenges for teachers in different subjects. This study used structural equation modeling to examine the role of teachers' practices and beliefs in implementing differentiated instruction in physical education. Using a sample of 527 preservice teachers, we found that a growth mindset was the strongest predictor of differentiated instruction, followed by flexible grouping and differentiating the curriculum. In addition, multiple mediation analyses revealed that differentiating the curriculum and flexible grouping mediated the relationship between a growth mindset and differentiated instruction. We also guide teacher educators to develop teachers' growth mindsets and help teachers better understand differentiated instruction in physical education.
