This study focused on the development of a teacher self-efficacy measurement addressing contextualization information and communication technologies (ICTs) with education for sustainability (EfS) using principal component analysis. Furthermore, this study, participation 1815 teachers, examined predictive value some hypothesized predictors ICTeEfS construct such as gender, school setting, years teaching, knowledge sustainability, ICTs, experience in ICTs to support integration teaching curricula multiple regression The research results revealed that gender did not explain any statistically significant variance teachers’ self-efficacy; contrary this, teachers possessing high level issues about ICT competence explained most extracted variance. However, gap remains utilizing these skills pedagogically. also discusses varying levels among based their workplace location, finding urban demonstrate higher compared rural counterparts. could be attributed disparities resources systems, thereby affecting capacity employ EfS effectively. It was found novice exhibited power self-efficacy, possibly due recent exposure training. assumes profound understanding EfS, coupled tools, bolsters creation contextualized enriches learning towards sustainability.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of mental fatigue awareness on psychological recovery processes in athletes. It also examines mediating role cognitive reappraisal and moderating effects gender alcohol use. A sample 639 active athletes from diverse regions Turkey participated online study. Data were collected through Sport Psychological Recovery Scale, Emotion Regulation Scale for Athletes, Mental Fatigue Awareness Athletes. The findings indicate that has a direct, negative effect (β = −0.2526, p < 0.001). Also, partially mediates this relationship −0.236, Gender was identified as significant moderator, with women exhibiting stronger their compared men. However, consumption not statistically significant. contributes understanding interplay between athletes, highlighting influence emotional regulation importance variable. Future research should employ longitudinal designs larger samples explore these relationships greater depth.

Introduction Despite global recognition of the climate crisis, higher education often remains rooted in traditional, theory-focused paradigms emphasizing economic growth, thereby hindering necessary structural transformations. This study argues for an urgent shift towards practical and experiential learning education, particularly sustainability change by adopting transgressive pedagogies place-based approaches grounded local communities. Methods employed a series field journeys within Ghana to investigate impact engagements on students’ understanding appreciation environmental, social, challenges. Data was collected assess changes attitudes toward learning, their orientation environmental stewardship, social advocacy, action, as well dispositions competencies partnerships collaborations addressing socioecological Results The findings demonstrate marked positive learning. Furthermore, there is evidence enhanced action among students. also reveals improvements utilize Discussion highlights critical importance place education. Grounding teaching contexts through practical, fosters development locally relevant facilitates essential connections between theoretical knowledge lived experience. underscore potential cultivate agency, collaborative problem-solving skills

A significant trend in education is the increasing recognition of need to shift from transmissive teaching incorporating reflexive practices associated with real-life issues learning, curriculum, and teaching. Merging Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) Metaverse learning technologies Education for Sustainability (ICT/MeEfS) critical responding current sustainability crises such as climate change. This research article focuses on factorial structure, reliability, validity a teachers’ ICT/MeEfS resilience scale. It examines predictive value teacher self-efficacy transformative beliefs merging ICTs sustainability. The respondents were 1815 in-service teachers Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam. principal component analysis showed two-factor model (factor 1: “personal resilience” factor 2: “reflexive practice”), amount extracted variance (68.26%). overall Cronbach’s alpha reliability scale enabled by was 0.90, indicating high score excellent internal consistency. Similarly, stepwise multiple regression revealed that two hypothesized predictors, beliefs, significantly contributed resilience, explaining 73% its variability. implications results are discussed terms developing capacity embed SDGs practices, environments, course curricula technologies.
