| Özet |
| The purpose of this study is to find out the opinions of science teachers on sustainable development, education for sustainable development, competencies in education for sustainable development and which competencies teachers should have in education for sustainable development. The basic qualitative research method was chosen as the design of the research. In the study, 12 science teachers from three different schools were determined as participants. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect data in the research. The data were analyzed through content and descriptive analysis. As a result, teachers associated sustainable development with words such as environment, economy, society, improvement, and they defined it as the protection of nature and the environment. Teachers stated that individuals related to education for sustainable development do not have sufficient knowledge about the subject and that individuals should be trained. Science teachers stated that attitude and knowledge learning area is more important than other learning domains. As a result of the research, it was determined that teachers emphasized more on “making decisions-explaining values” and “decision-making, participation and acting for change” while they did not emphasize critical thinking and seeing the future/alternative scenarios. Among the qualifications that teachers should have; there are items such as being equipped about sustainable development and having environmental awareness, making the acquired knowledge a way of life and producing projects. |
