Cogent Education, v11 n1 Article 2422223 2024
This study, which investigates the pursuit of sustainable development through teachers' perspectives on environmental education awareness, has a global impact. In formal education, teachers play a critical role in delivering sustainable development content and fostering necessary skills to achieve Sustainable development Agendas (SGDs). Consequently, to familiarize with teachers' perspectives is necessary. A questionnaire was designed to collect data about the participants' views, understanding, and perception of the role of education in a sustainable future. The Likert scale tool has been employed to analyze quantitative data from a randomly selected sample of eighty-seven teachers, aiming to derive insights for the analysis of environmental education from their perspectives. The results of the multiple regression analysis, chi-square test, T-test, and Cronbach's alpha indicate that environmental education plays a significant role in preparing children for a safer future, both in Pakistan and globally. The findings show that the null hypothesis is rejected x[superscript 2](10) = 43.5, p [less than or equal to] 0.05. Consequently, there is a significant relationship between educational institutes' environmental education approach and teachers' perspectives in promoting environmental sustainability. The devastating climate changes enhanced the importance of environmental education as a future of educational policies for children at an early education level, making this study a significant contribution to the global discourse on sustainable development.
