Abstract
Higher education plays a crucial role in addressing sustainability challenges, enabling educators to equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes. However, many educators lack adequate training in teaching sustainability. This study used a quantitative approach to explore the impact of training on educators' ability to teach sustainability. A survey of 170 educators assessed their sustainability-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes before and after a training program. Results revealed that the training program positively influenced educators' knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Participants scored significantly higher on sustainability knowledge tests than non-participants. Additionally, the training bolstered educators' self-reported confidence in teaching sustainability. These findings underscore the effectiveness of training and professional development in empowering higher education educators to teach sustainability. Educators can better equip students to tackle sustainability challenges effectively.
