Abstract

This study aims to assess the level of environmental education awareness and attitudes among teacher educators. Environmental education plays a crucial role in fostering sustainable practices and attitudes among future generations. Teacher educators, as key stakeholders in the education system, have a significant influence on the integration of environmental education into teacher training programs. Through a survey-based approach, data were collected on the awareness levels, attitudes, and perceived importance of environmental education among teacher educators. The findings provide valuable insights into the current state of environmental education awareness among this demographic and highlight areas for improvement in teacher education programs.
