“…For SDG 4 (Quality Education), the aim is to achieve learning objectives and competencies so that students can use all the resources learned in their education and apply them in everyday situations in their lives, promoting sustainable development, as well as identifying learning needs for their personal development [59,60]. These aspects would be in line with the Spanish curriculum, where aspects related to quality education can be observed when the students' exit profile is discussed, referring to the incorporation of the SDGs into the curriculum.…”

This study analyses the relationship between the physical education (PE) curriculum in secondary education in Spain and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Physical education curriculum of compulsory secondary education, as well as the complementary materials, were analysed through document analysis. Although there is no explicit relationship, the analysis reveals links between curricular elements and SDGs targets, particularly with SDG 4 (Quality Education), 3 (Health and Well-being), and 5 (Gender Equality). Other SDGs, such as 10 (Reducing Inequalities) and 12 (Responsible Consumption), are less related. The social dimension of sustainable development is most closely linked to PE. A historical analysis of the treatment of sustainable development in PE curricula in Spain is also presented, examining how they have evolved over time. The manuscript helps clarify how teachers and researchers can mobilize competencies to address global challenges in students’ lives as individuals and world citizens, fostering commitment and social responsibility. Furthermore, this work highlights the importance of integrating the SDGs into education and how PE can be a key tool in this process.

“…This framework was developed to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Commonwealth Secretariat's Strategic Plan by reinforcing links between the SDGs through a holistic life-course approach spanning early childhood, secondary, and tertiary education. It adheres to a competency development model that combines knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes (Osman et al, 2017).…”

Schools play a crucial role in education for sustainable development. The aims of this study are to determine the extent of the incorporation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the secondary science curriculum and the extent of knowledge and attitude of science teachers regarding SDGs. The research design was concurrent triangulation mixed method. Purposive sampling was used in the selection of the science curriculum while convenience sampling was used in determining the participants for the survey and focus group discussion. The locale of the study is at Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Findings show that the clusters of the SDGs related competencies of the Junior High School science curriculum are 51.61% knowledge, 21.29% values, and 21.19% skills. The dimensions reveal 14 learning competencies for social, 25 environmental, and 23 economic. This means that students are taught the interconnection of social, ecological and economic issues as evident in the curriculum. Furthermore, the extent of knowledge of science teachers regarding SDGs is high (M = 3.10, SD = 0.15) while the attitude is very positive (M = 3.46, SD = 0.09). Pearson correlation indicates weak positive correlation between the two variables, r=.37 while regression test showed significant correlation between knowledge and attitude, r=.37, p=0.03. Therefore, due to the inclusive nature of the SDGs, they are a great tool for expanding the science curriculum by giving real-world scenarios and life skills. SDGs are also helpful teaching resources that offer depth and perspective to scientific lessons.

“…The process of developing the most convenient tool was initiated with detailed research in the literature considering the purpose of the study and the research question. After the literature review, the researchers adopt and adapt the research instrument of Osman et al (2017) using the 17 goals of SD distributed in three main dimensions (social, economic, and environment), as shown in Table 2.…”

This paper presents findings from an analysis of 4<sup>th</sup> grade science textbooks used in the United Arab Emirates schools, using an analytical descriptive approach to examine their content in light of the sustainable development goals. The results reveal that the environmental dimension of sustainable development (SD) was the most frequently reflected upon in the textbooks, with an occurrence of 18.5%, followed by the economic dimension (11.7%) and the social dimension (4.9%). While the distribution of sustainability themes varied across the textbooks, all four textbooks included references to SD. However, the researchers find that the distribution of these themes was not even, with some themes being absent in some textbooks while being extensively presented in others. These findings suggest that while sustainability is present in 4<sup>th</sup> grade science textbooks, there is room for improvement in ensuring that all three dimensions of SD are adequately covered in these materials.
