Abstract
In today’s world, preparing future science teachers is vital because they have the power to transform society and build a sustainable world by raising global citizens. In this manner, the purpose of the present study was to develop pre-service science teachers’ competencies in instructional planning for teaching Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in K-12 classrooms through Education for Sustainable Development Goals (ESDG). The research group consisted of 20 pre-service science teachers who enrolled in the ‘Sustainable Ecology’ elective course at a public university in Istanbul, Türkiye. A design-based research model was followed in the study. The data were collected from pre-service science teachers through semi-structured interviews before and after the course. In the data analysis, deductive content analysis was used. The findings revealed that ESDG shows promise for developing pre-service science teachers’ competencies in instructional planning for teaching the SDGs in K-12 classrooms.
