| description | This paper discusses the findings from a survey conducted to investigate the
level of awareness and understanding of traditional environmental concepts and
sustainable development concepts among pre-service teachers. The survey involved 110
pre-service teachers enrolled in the chemistry teaching methods course. The student
teachers were requested to complete a set of 20-item questionnaire on environmental
knowledge. Awareness and understanding of concepts central to sustainable development
is particularly significant for the pre-service teachers who are required to educate and
promote education for sustainable development. Results of the study showed that the preservice teachers have a low level of awareness and understanding of concepts central to
sustainable development compare to traditional environmental concepts. Recognising the
importance of sustainability knowledge in leading sustainable lifestyle, the findings of
this paper emphasise the need impart sustainable development knowledge through
teaching and learning process |
