| Abstract |
Although Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were stablished in 2015, there is still a scarcity of scientific literature focused on how they are being worked on in compulsory education curricula, perhaps due to a lack of suitable assessment tools. Hence, this study aims to design and validate a scale for assessing teachers' attitudes towards responsible consumption and production (SDG-12), and to understand how they incorporate these concepts into their classroom practices. 400 primary and secondary school teachers participated in the study. The scale showed reliable psychometric properties. Although most participants had a favourable attitude towards SDG-12, only 28% of them had received training on this topic. Responsible consumption is occasionally addressed in the classroom, generally through ICT resources or specific activities. Primary teachers showed more favourable attitudes and engagement in teaching this topic in their classrooms than secondary teachers. Therefore, the proposed scale is a simple tool to find out how SDG-12 is addressed across different educational stages. It is important to measure these questions in order to guide the educational practices aimed at promoting responsible consumption. |
