Amount Of Knowledge

The framework of sustainable development encompasses a series of behaviours which include the proper management of the waste we produce. This concept should be addressed in classrooms to ensure proper waste management. The amount of knowledge of the teachers and the inclusion of these concepts in the education curricula are essential factors when providing proper teaching about waste and waste management. The general objective was to analyse the amount of knowledge about waste of teachers in training within the framework of sustainable development. The sample consisted of 72 secondary school teachers in training belonging to three scientific-technological areas (Physics & Chemistry, Biology & Geology, and Technology). The methodology used was exploratory and quantitative. As a measuring instrument, a questionnaire was elaborated based on the educational curricula and based on previous research, made up of five categories (Waste and Society, Regulations, Awareness, Technological Development, and Typology). The results of the study show that teachers in training lack knowledge regarding waste. Within teacher education programs, it is, therefore, necessary to address issues of sustainability including waste in order to prepare teachers that are competent and willing to teach such important topics.

This paper discusses the designs in infusing Islamic values and sustainable development and how challenges must be faced in the training for pre-service Islamic elementary school teachers. The subjects of this study consisted of 77 primary school educational candidates who contracted "Simple Chemistry" lectures The instrument was The Chemical Essay Test Integrated Sustainable Development Aspects (CET-SD) containing Islamic discourse. Based on pedagogical planning, lesson plans are divided into four stages, consisting of (1) phase of contact; (2) phase of curiosity and planning; (3) phase of elaboration; and (4) phase of deepening and networking. The link between Islamic values and chemistry and the environment was well understood by pre-service teachers. Some challenges in teaching chemical content were found regarding with (1) difficulties with the relation between macro domain and submicro domain; (2) difficulties with the relation between symbolic domain and macro or submicro domain; (3) difficulties with models.
