Professional development and teacher agency in Mathematics Teacher Education for Sustainability

Abstract

The paper shows that teachers do not yet have extensive knowledge of sustainability and the SDGs, which makes it difficult for them to design and implement practices based on this perspective. In addition, with regard to the connection with mathematical education, the great majority of teachers believe it is a necessary link, but that certain obstacles and challenges, such as the expansion of knowledge and time management, must be overcome first. 

Keywords: Teacher knowledge    Sustainability education    Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)    Curriculum design and implementation    Mathematics education connection    Perceived necessity of integration    Knowledge gaps    Time management challenges    Implementation obstacles    Educational practice 

Core Idea: Teacher Knowledge Gaps and Implementation Challenges in Integrating Sustainability and SDGs into math Education
