17 Respondents who reported that they include climate change and sustainability content in their teaching were then asked to indicate a frequency of inclusion across a range of subjects (Table 4). Table 4: Frequencies of including climate change and/or sustainability in teaching by subject at any level of schooling.8 Current teaching Rarely Occasionally Most commonly Number of responses Art and Design 33.6% 49.6% 16.8% 125 Business Education 25.0% 41.7% 33.3% 12 Citizenship 3.6% 43.6% 52.7% 55 Design and Technology 23.2% 52.6% 24.2% 95 English/Literacy 17.9% 67.9% 14.2% 134 Geography 0.0% 20.5% 79.5% 195 History 54.3% 36.2% 9.5% 105 ICT or Computing 53.2% 39.0% 7.8% 77 Mathematics/Numeracy 77.9% 18.3% 3.8% 104 Modern Foreign Languages 66.7% 22.8% 10.5% 57 Music 77.3% 19.7% 3.0% 66 PSHE including tutor time 6.3% 56.6% 37.1% 143 Physical Education 75.4% 14.5% 10.1% 69 Psychology 70.0% 20.0% 10.0% 10 Religious Education (RE) 44.2% 33.7% 22.1% 86 Science 3.6% 29.0% 67.5% 169 Sociology 37.5% 37.5% 25.0% 8 Something else 3.8% 34.6% 61.5% 26 Of those who reported teaching geography (at any level), the majority ‘most commonly’ (79.5%) included climate change and/or sustainability in their teaching, with some reporting that they ‘occasionally’ (20.5%) included it, and none reporting that they ‘rarely’ included it. In contrast, the majority of respondents who reported teaching mathematics/numeracy, music, physical education, modern foreign languages, and history reported that they ‘rarely’ included climate change and/or sustainability in their subject teaching. 8 The table shows reported frequencies of including climate change and/or sustainability in teaching via the percentage of responses for each of the available categories. The number of responses reflects those who reported teaching the subject (at any level of schooling) and who also answered the question about including climate change and/or sustainability in their teaching for that subject. For each questionnaire item, higher percentages of responses per category are given darker shading.
