Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the obstacles to achieving sustainability in university education, specifically from the perspective of faculty members in faculties of education. The relationship between these obstacles and certain variables, such as faculty, academic rank, and gender was also examined. The study sample consisted of 100 faculty members randomly selected from three faculties (Education, Specific Education, and Physical Education). The requirements of sustainability questionnaire was prepared and administered to measure the degree of these obstacles, consisting of 40 items distributed across four domains. t test and ANOFA were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the degree of obstacles to achieving sustainability requirements was high. These obstacles were influenced by gender, favoring males in the areas of administration and scientific research and females in the field of curricula. The results also varied based on the faculty, with the Faculty of Physical Education facing more obstacles in the areas of scientific research and academic freedom. Additionally, the rank variable showed that professors faced more obstacles. Based on the study findings, the researchers presented a set of recommendations, most importantly emphasizing the need for university administration to update its vision and strategies to address several key points to reduce these obstacles.
