Sustainable Practices in Teacher Education: A Quantitative Analysis of B.Ed. Students’ Perspectives

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions and experiences of 200 Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) students regarding the implementation of sustainable practices within teacher education institutions in Bangalore. Utilizing a quantitative approach, structured questionnaires were administered to assess students' awareness, engagement, and attitudes towards sustainability initiatives. The findings reveal a significant level of awareness and appreciation for sustainable practices, with a mean score of 4.2 on a 5-point scale indicating positive perceptions. However, challenges such as inadequate resources (65% of respondents), limited training opportunities (72%), and insufficient curriculum integration (58%) were also identified.
