Assessing competences in sustainability in teaching degrees and post-degrees: a proposal of a tool

Abstract

This study presents a review on the generic competences in sustainability (CS) at higher education and provides a compilation of these CS through a rubric that serves as a tool to assess the level of CS acquisition among university students of teacher training. The rubric has been designed, analysed and contrasted by a group of researchers from different universities linked to teacher training courses. It has been adapted to different undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs at eight universities. It is structured in three levels of competency acquisition. This rubric can be a useful instrument for the assessment of CS in the degrees of education in the Spanish university system.
