Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) implies the need to promote sustainable development through education. Due to the lack of teachers with an ESD background and students’ textbooks being content-oriented rather than action-oriented, science teachers must develop strategies to integrate ESD into their teaching. Science teachers' abilities to incorporate ESD into science lessons are still lacking. It is important to develop science teachers’ competencies to integrate ESD into science lesson through teacher training program. However, teacher training programs focusing on ESD and science teachers’ competencies in integrating action-oriented ESD remain very limited. Therefore, this research attempts to promote science teachers’ competencies to integrate action-oriented ESD into science lessons through ESD training program. The research method employed in this study was a mixed-methods intervention design consisting of three phases: before the intervention, experimental intervention, and after the intervention. Science teachers’ competencies to integrate action-oriented ESD into science lessons, along with the ESD training program, were developed before the intervention. During the experimental intervention, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected simultaneously. To strengthen the findings, interviews and analysis of teachers’ journals were conducted after the intervention. The research instruments used in this study were valid and reliable. The research subjects were 31 junior high school science teachers from Bandung, Bandung Barat, and Cimahi, consisting of 22 females and 9 males. The participants were selected using purposive sampling. The general activities of the teacher training program consist of ESD-based science learning for the given topic, ESD-based science learning for a free-to-choose topic, and eco-friendly actions. The implementation stages were conducted from January 9th to May 11th, 2024. The study's findings indicate that the ESD training program enhances science teachers' competencies to integrate action-oriented ESD into science lessons across all assessed standards (PCK, INQ, PP, EA, AT, and PD). The statistical analysis reveals a significant improvement in science teachers’ PCK, science teachers’ competencies in planning action-oriented ESD, science teachers’ competencies in implementing action-oriented ESD, science teachers’ attitude, and science teachers’ commitment to follow professional development. Science teachers’ competencies to integrate action-oriented ESD into science lessons in free-to-choose topic are better than in given topic. ESD training programs should include systematic reflection, more training in inquiry skills, and the maintenance of learning communities.
