A Decade of Teacher Training Trends on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): A Systematic Literature Network Analysis

Abstract

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is needed as the way to achieved Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The emergence of ESD into the school curriculum is crucial to engage students in a more sustainable lifestyle. However, teachers do not have sufficient knowledge to implement the ESD in their teaching-learning. Therefore, the teacher training programs must improve the teachers' competence in integrating ESD. This study attempts to identify the state-of-the-art mapping, the emerging trends topics, and the future work of Teacher Training on ESD research. The method used in this research is systematic literature network analysis (SLNA), which combines systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. The article from the last ten years was analyzed through several steps: identification, screening, eligibility, and SLNA. Open Refine, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny by Bibliometric are software and applications utilized in SLNA. The result shows that the most sources from the sustainability journal and the most relevant author is Baena Morales. The trending topics are still in environmental education as a subject for integrating ESD through teacher training. Future works for bridging the ESD into some workshop or teacher training focus on classroom practices, improving the teacher's competence for delivering ESD in their learning and focusing on actions associated with environmental education to achieve the SDGs. Some teachers' training on ESD can be used in future work as a foundation for teacher professional development.
