Abstract

The present study examined how sustainability competencies of secondary-school students in Baden-Wuerttemberg developed within the course of a school year (n = 1318, grades 5–8). Multilevel analyses revealed effects of the learning environment (teachers, grade, type of school, participation in Fridays for Future) on the development of sustainability competencies. The contribution discusses the significance of the findings for Education for Sustainable Development at school.

Keywords
