Résumé

This contribution is based on a doctoral study aimed at identifying the key characteristics of an ecodevice that could effectively integrate education for a sustainable future (ESF) into the practical training of future teachers. A group of thirteen experts—eight from the field of practical teacher training and five from the field of ESF—were consulted as part of this collaborative research. The analysis of individual and semi-structured group interviews, along with feedback gathered during a collaborative electronic forum, led to the identification of five essential components of the ecodevice: knowledge, approaches, support, resources, and transversal elements.
