Abstract

Onečišćenje okoliša smatra se jednim od najvećih problema današnjice, a održivi razvoj vidi se kao njegovo rješenje. Iako se u posljednje vrijeme sve više raspravlja o ovoj tematici te je primjetna razina povećanja ekološke svijesti, manjkavost se očituje na razini ekološkog ponašanja. Obrazovanje za održivi razvoj prepoznato je kao važan resurs podizanja ekološke svijesti kojom se potiče na ekološko ponašanje, a nastavnici kao njegovi ključni posredovatelji. U skladu s tim cilj ovog rada jest ispitati znanja i stavove nastavnika o međupredmetnoj temi „Održivi razvoj“. U tu svrhu korištena je kvantitativna metodologija te online anketni upitnik od ukupno 21 tvrdnje na temelju kojih su ispitanici uz pomoć Likertove skale prosuđivali stupanj vlastitih znanja i stavova o navedenoj tematici. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da više od polovice ispitanih nastavnika razumije koncept održivosti i održivog razvoja. Iako nastavnici ovu tematiku smatraju važnim dijelom obrazovnog sustava tek manje od polovice nastavnika smatra da je upoznato s međupredmetnom temom „Održivi razvoj“. Nešto više od polovice ispitanih nastavnika smatra da su kompetentni u poučavanju ove teme, dok manje od polovice nastavnika pohađa stručna usavršavanja vezana uz ovu tematiku. Gotovo je podjednak broj nastavnika koji tvrde da im škola osigurava edukacije i radionice o odgoju i obrazovanju za održivi razvoj, kao i broj onih koji se ne slažu s ovom tvrdnjom ili u nju nisu sigurni. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su nastavnici razredne nastave statistički skloniji tvrditi da u svom predmetnom području uspijevaju uključiti sadržaje iz međupredmetne teme u odnosu na nastavnike predmetne nastave.

Abstract (english)

Environmental pollution is considered to be one of the biggest problems nowadays and sustainable development is seen as its solution. Although this topic has been discussed more and more lately and the level of increased environmental awareness is noticeable, environmental behavior is still lagging behind. Education for sustainable development has been recognized as an important resource for raising environmental awareness, which encourages ecological behavior, and teachers are considered its key mediators. In accordance with this, the aim of this paper is to examine the knowledge and attitudes of teachers on the cross-curricular topic "Sustainable Development". For this purpose, a quantitative methodology and an online questionnaire of 21 statements were used, on the basis of which the respondents estimated the degree of their own knowledge and attitudes on the topic using a Likert scale. The results of the survey showed that more than half of the surveyed teachers understand the concept of sustainability and sustainable development. Although teachers consider this topic to be an important part of the educational system, only less than half of teachers believe that they are familiar with the cross-curricular topic "Sustainable Development". Slightly more than half of the surveyed teachers believe that they are competent in teaching this topic, while less than half of teachers attend professional development related to this topic. There is almost an equal number of teachers who claim that the school provides them with education and workshops on education for sustainable development, as well as the number of those who do not agree with this statement or are not sure about it. The results of the research have shown that class teachers are statistically more inclined to claim that they manage to include content from a cross-curricular topic in their subject area compared to subject teachers.
