Sažetak
Lifelong learning for sustainable development is increasingly becoming a priority in the process of improving training and education in which the unavoidable key factors are teachers and educators. That is the reason that justifies the implementation of contents related to sustainable development within teaching programs/curricula of universities.
The aim of this paper is to establish whether the teaching programs/curricula of the Faculty of Teacher Education in Osijek contain direct contents of lifelong learning for a sustainable development. The results of a quantitative and qualitative analysis show that 53 of a total number of 145 courses within the five-year class teacher studies, or 36.55% contain and implement direct contents of lifelong learning for a sustainable development, while the programs of the three-year pre-school studies implement the same contents in 28 out of 46 courses, which is 60.86%. The contents of the teaching programs/curricula is of high quality, however the analysis of the students’ answers shows their insufficient awareness regarding sustainable development. Hence it is necessary to implement contemporary learning and teaching methods in university teaching programs, since it is indirectly through those programs that pre-school children and pupils are being educated.
