Abstract

This research constitutes a literature review employing a qualitative approach, analyzing scholarly articles, books, and other documents related to sustainable development. This article aims to summarize and analyze previous studies concerning sustainable development in the context of mathematics education, as well as strategies that can be employed to integrate the principles of sustainable education. Integrating the principles of sustainable development into education, including mathematics education, is crucial in fostering a more environmentally responsible society and promoting sustainability across all sectors. However, its implementation remains limited. Educators face various challenges, including a lack of time, resources, and understanding of sustainable education, along with a dearth of supportive teaching materials. The principles of sustainable development can serve as a framework for developing curricula and teaching practices that are more sustainable. Educators can select mathematical problems related to environmental or social issues, discuss relevant mathematical concepts in connection with these problems, and help students comprehend the impact of mathematical decisions on the environment and society. Integrating the principles of sustainable development into mathematics education not only aids in producing a generation with sustainable skills but also motivates students to learn mathematics in more engaging and meaningful ways. A learning approach centered around sustainable development can be an effective way to prepare students for a sustainable future. The article also underscores the necessity for curriculum development, training, and professional advancement for educators.
