The Sustainable Development Goals in the training of future teachers: use of active methodologies

Abstract

Agenda 2030 establishes a series of goals around sustainability adding up to a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In Goal 4, special emphasis is placed on the role that education should play in training future generations in sustainability. The aim of this research was to determine the impact on education students of a service-learning experience with content on sustainability. To this end, an expostfacto methodology and a quantitative analysis were followed. Results show a good level of learning, on a cognitive and affective level, of sustainability and of service-learning methodology.  However, there is a clear reluctance to assume the measures that should be carried out to achieve such sustainability. Women showed significantly greater sensitivity to values and behaviours related to sustainability
