To examine and compare existing competence frameworks for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and assess their applicability for teacher education and professional development.
Conducted a conceptual comparative analysis of two prominent competence frameworks: the CSCT Model (Curriculum, Sustainable Development, Competences, Teacher Training) and the ECE Model (Learning for the future: The Competences in Education for Sustainable Development).
Evaluated differences between the models regarding their definition breadths of ESD, operational structures, and targeted educational audiences.
Identified significant divergence between the CSCT and ECE frameworks in how broadly ESD is conceptualized and how educational audiences are targeted.
Concluded that competence models must explicitly focus on profession-specific core competencies to be actionable for teacher pre-service and in-service training.
Outlined foundational considerations to guide the conceptualization of a new competence framework tailored to ESD pedagogical practice.
