What do we know about attitudes, motivation and PCK of practicing concerning sustainability issues and transformative learning? How is science teacher training for transformative education operated and what do we know about the development of teachers competencies in successfully applying corresponding practices in science classes and beyond? Which research-based strategies do we have for implementing transformative practices into science teaching and in interdisciplinary approaches? What consequences does the interdisciplinary nature of most sustainability issues has for transformative educational practices? Which role might the informal and non-formal educational sector play to support transformative education?
