The purpose of this article is to examine the influence of the school organizational climate on teacher enthusiasm. A sample of 600 teachers was drawn using a multi-stage random sampling method. The study variables were assessed using two main instruments: the organizational climate scale and teacher's enthusiasm scale. A two-staged structural…

To constitute awareness of climate change, hearing the solutions of students in their words and seeing visual products by creating experiences in schools is vital. This case study was limited to sequential implementations of climate change in the natural sciences teaching process in 5th grade. After an education process on using Pixton, 12…

Purpose: This study aims to introduce a new instrument to assess the perception of the university community after the Climate Emergency Declaration (CED) and its application at the Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) in Spain. This CED includes a comprehensive program to reduce the carbon footprint and the introduction of the education for sustainable…

Purpose: Humanity is facing an unprecedented challenge of climate crises. Rapid changes to the physical environment and living conditions will be accompanied by challenges to mental health and well-being. Consequently, education for sustainable development should also include coping strategies for stress and anxiety. Adding intra-personal skills…

Human beings are spending less time in nature than previous generations. Without opportunities to interact with nature, we are unable to forge deeper connections with the natural world, leading to indifference and unwillingness to protect it. At the same time, climate change has led to biodiversity loss and new threats such as pandemics, making…

There is little room left for doubt or even debate at the severity of the ecological, indeed planetary crises that we find ourselves in during this period coined the Anthropocene. As educators working in the face of these crises, we have asked ourselves the question 'how do we carry on?' We reflect on a set of sensory, multimodal, meditative and…

This study explores the use of micro-credential as an innovative curriculum design for addressing individuals' needs and the industry's demands. Specifically, since offering micro-credentials is relatively new in the Philippines, the study proposed a curriculum development model that will be useful in guiding curriculum experts and educational…

How are educational encounters understood, experienced, and lived? How are they conceptualized? How do they shape our being in and of the world? In this time of apparent distance and disconnect, this volume emphasizes the role of contact and connectedness in education, above all by understanding education as encounters, as embodied, sensory…

This study explores the commitment of a school faculty to use the pedagogical practices needed to employ a project-based unit of Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STREAM). The unit of study concentrated on environmental sustainability of butterflies through project-based learning (PBL). Teacher interviews were…

Allyship is increasingly viewed as a crucial practice to address social and economic inequities faced by marginalized groups.

This study explores the experiences of leaders who have led organisations and teams through an extended period of crisis management whilst completing a UK work-based master's programme. This paper examines contemporary approaches to work-based learning and explores the effect of organisational and workforce demands in a volatile era of global…

Prior research has found that economic downturns have positive effects on new teacher quality, but has not been able to determine the extent to which this relationship arises from a supply response (increased quantity or positive selection of teaching candidates) vs. a demand response (selection in hiring enabled by falling demand). In this paper,…

Higher education plays an important role in preparing future citizens and leaders with the capacity to address systemic issues behind complex problems such as climate change. There have however been few attempts to assess systems-related competencies in the context of complex problems. This study adapted an existing scenario-based assessment tool…

The purpose of this exploratory sequential mixed methods study was to understand the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on job burnout for elementary school principals, as it relates to Maslach's Multidimensional Theory of Burnout, and how to increase the stability of principals in their roles, post-COVID-19, to avoid an exodus of principals from…

Teachers face many barriers to climate change education, including access to resources. The U.S. national parks are an informal education sector that offers a variety of climate change educational resources (CCER). However, there are gaps in understanding teachers' use of these resources. This explanatory sequential mixed-method study aimed to…
