“…When the educational setting promotes gender equality in terms of learning opportunities and the development of practical skills, both male and female students possess an equal capacity to cultivate ACS. (Aldraiweesh & Alturki, 2023;De Prada et al, 2022;Guo et al, 2023;Hanisch & Eirdosh, 2023;Merayo & Ayuso, 2023;Qi et al, 2023;Tabassum & Nayak, 2021;Taylor, 2017;Zvavahera et al, 2023). Social, cultural, and value factors that change over time may also play a role in reducing gender differences in the development of action competencies in higher education institutions (Andersen & Smith, 2022;Balducci, 2023;Lundberg, 2020).…”

As a form of implementing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in educational institutions, an appropriate learning model is needed, which also accommodates aspects of spirituality. Before developing a model, baseline data is needed, so a broad-scale or national needs analysis is needed. This research aims to determine the profile of spirituality-based action competence for sustainability (ACS) among prospective biology teacher students throughout Indonesia. This research is a cross-sectional survey. The target respondents are students of LPTK biology education study programs in Indonesia. The target population size is 650 people, so based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, the minimum sample size with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5% is 620 students. The data collection instrument used in this research is the action competence for sustainability instrument based on spirituality (ACSIS). Data on respondent characteristics were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The mean and standard deviation of scores were calculated for each item. Comparisons of two groups of students were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test, while comparisons of more than two groups used the Kruskal-Wallis H Test. We discuss interesting findings in this research, including the aspects of spirituality in ACS among prospective biology teacher in Indonesia.

PurposeCombating unsustainable activities is a crucial barrier to sustainable development, since they have drastically escalated the climate change which needs an immediate attention by the Z generation. The study aims to examine the role of sustainability literacy, institutional initiatives and individual factors in impacting university students’ sustainable practices by giving due consideration to teacher support and student engagement.Design/methodology/approachWith the descriptive design, a survey questionnaire was used to gather data for this investigation, collecting responses from 419 university students from the region of Karnataka, India, with an impressive response rate of 96%. Following the data collection, statistical techniques, such as regression analysis, one sample t-test and structural equation modelling, were applied to evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of numerous sustainability factors on student’s sustainable practices.FindingsFirstly, we found that students need to have strong sustainable literacy, institutional initiatives and individual factors to amplify their sustainable practices. Moreover, mediating influence of teacher support and student engagement were also observed in the current research. Interestingly, student’s sociocultural environment and government initiatives played a moderating role in uplifting their sustainable practices.Research limitations/implicationsThe results illuminate the involvement of all the stakeholders in contributing to sustainable future through sustainable practices. However, this study limits its scope to educational setting and gives no importance towards parental upbringing and influence which can be addressed in the future research.Originality/valueWe provided a broader range of influencing factors to promote sustainable future for the future generation.
