This study examines how education about sustainability can be effectively integrated into teacher training in such a setting. Specifically, it examines the effects of three elective environmental education courses ‒ introduced during the 2020 curricular accreditation ‒ on the environmental attitudes of students enrolled in Hungarian-language teacher training in Serbia.
The research involved a sample of 150 students over three academic years (2022–2025) and employed a quantitative design using three validated psychometric instruments (RevNEP, ENV, and CHEAKS) to assess ecological worldviews, environmental values, emotions, and behavioural intentions. Data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics, revealing statistically significant positive changes in students’ environmental attitudes: RevNEP indicated stronger ecological worldviews, ENV showed growth in pro-environmental values, and CHEAKS demonstrated the development of affective and behavioural dimensions.
The results suggest that the substantive characteristics of the specialization itself, and the students’ motivations have a greater influence on attitude formation than the academic year itself. The study underscores the dual function of minority teacher education: fostering sustainability-oriented awareness while preserving cultural identity. These findings, based on multi-year quantitative evidence, strengthen the empirical understanding of attitude formation in sustainability education and hold direct implications for curriculum development and international discourse on teacher training.

An important role in this process is played by education, therefore, there is a growing Government interest in instilling national values in pre-service and in-service teachers. The aim of the research was to establish whether the attitudes towards the traditional values of the Kazakh people held by Master's students majoring in Education would change as a result of studying an elective course in Ethnopedagogy. Based on an analysis of the traditional values of the Kazakh people undertaken by Kazakh researchers, a classification of these values was developed and used as a basis for a questionnaire designed to identify attitudes towards these values. A survey was conducted with the students from two universities. The sample of the research was 119 people: 59 students formed the experimental group (the one where the elective course was taught), the remaining 60 were in the control group (that did not study the course). The survey was conducted twice: before the beginning and after the end of the course. The results of the first survey showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. The second survey clearly showed positive changes in the attitudes towards the traditional values of the Kazakh people in the experimental group, while in the control group the results remained approximately at the level of the first survey. A conclusion was made that it is necessary to strengthen the national and cultural components in the content of pedagogical education in the Republic of Kazakhstan.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">834-846</style></section></record></records></xml>
