Abstract

In order to improve education for sustainability (EfS) in English-speaking schools in North Cyprus, this study investigates the use of playful learning and video feedback as cutting-edge pedagogical techniques. Engaging students in transformative learning experiences is crucial in an era characterized by environmental issues and the pressing need for sustainable development. Students better understand their learning processes when paired with video feedback, which facilitates reflective practice. This study uses a qualitative case study methodology to investigate how instructors employ video feedback and playful learning activities to help students grasp sustainability ideas. Data were gathered through teacher interviews, classroom observations, and evaluations of student performance and feedback. The results demonstrate how these approaches can promote active learning, boost student enthusiasm, and enhance comprehension of sustainability-related topics. This study’s conclusion includes recommendations for educators and legislators looking to integrate creative, student-centered approaches into EfS curricula.
