The <\/strong>latest study published in the LUMAT journal<\/strong><\/a> demonstrates the key role of teachers in education related to sustainability and climate change. Teachers\u2019 knowledge and skills related to the content and pedagogy of climate change are linked to their self-efficacy beliefs. The refereed scholarly article is part of the sustainability and climate change research programme of the LUMA Science Helsinki group. The programme collaborates closely with the LUMA Centre Finland network, which comprises 11 universities and 13 centres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study is a multimethod case study carried out at the Teachers\u2019 Climate Change Forum<\/a> continuing education event. A total of 22 teachers from different backgrounds responded to a survey, while 18 teachers from different countries took part in the continuing education session. Of the respondents, 19 participated in semi-structured interviews to supplement quantitative data. The results demonstrate that, on the basis of the interviews, the teachers are willing to engage in continuous learning and develop the teaching of sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Sustainability and self-efficacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Teachers have beliefs about not only sustainability education, but also themselves as sustainability educators. This should be considered in any future use of tools that measure teachers\u2019 perceptions. However, the results of the survey demonstrated that teachers had the lowest self-efficacy beliefs in supporting students\u2019 actions for sustainable development. The above should be taken into consideration in the development of new teaching methods and materials.<\/p>\n
