Abstract

Teachers are the torch bearers of sustainable development, promoting social change and maintaining balance between two important concepts development and sustainability. They have a pivotal role in promoting education for sustainable development (ESD) perpetuating social change leading to progressive development and a futuristic growth in the society. ESD is one of the millennium development goals acknowledged globally and need to get practiced widely. Teachers play prominent role in inculcating the knowledge, spreading values, and enriching skills that are needed for sustainability to cope with the change in attributes of workplace. The central theme of the study was to determine the attitude of high school teachers concerning ESD. For this, the normative survey method (N=150) was used to collect data. The data were collected by an attitude scale entitled “ESD attitude scale”. This investigation examined teachers’ attitude towards ESD based on teachers’ gender, subject of teaching, and type of management of the institution. To achieve the objectives of the study, item-based assessment with percentage analysis, t-values and F-values were calculated. Research findings showed that teachers have a favorable attitude towards ESD. Gender and management of the institution were not found to change attitudes towards ESD of high school teachers, whereas the subject of teaching was found to change the same. With these pieces of evidence from the present study, educationalists can reform the existing high school education system for sustainable development.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a module-based intervention program called cyber safety and security literacy program (CSLP) on cyber etiquette among prospective teachers. The entire study was divided into two major sections, namely: i) design and development of the CSLP; and ii) assessing the impact of the program. For the design, the research and development (RD) method was used. To assess the impact of the program a quasi-experimental design was followed. Pre-experimental research with a one group pre-test and post-test design was adopted to measure the impact. The convenience sampling method was adopted for the selection of the sample. 50 prospective teachers from various training colleges in India participated in the study. The cyber etiquette scale with 50 items (Cronbach’s α=0.889) and valid (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value=0.804) used for this purpose. The study’s findings highlight the effectiveness of the intervention in promoting responsible digital behavior, evidenced by the substantial improvements in participants’ pre-test and post-test scores. The strong positive correlation (r=0.74) and large effect size (Cohen’s d=5.16) confirm the program’s success in fostering higher levels of cyber safety awareness and ethical online conduct.
