Forms of teachers’ training and improvements in the area of sustainable development

Abstract

Violent exploitation of our planet caused the existence of a real threat of using up the natural resources and causing an ecological cataclysm. The future of the next generations depends on the consciousness of the decisions made by the current inhabitants of our globe. The conception of sustainable development is to form anew the way of thinking of our mutual relations: man – natural environment. The most crucial means of introducing the conception’s assumptions is education. Its quality and effectiveness will depend on the level of the teachers’ factual and methodical knowledge. In the article some selected forms of teachers’ training and improvements in the area of sustainable development are presented.
