Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive assessment of how the concept of energy is addressed in secondary and baccalaureate curricula in Spain, with a focus on alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the promotion of sustainable development. Through a qualitative analysis of recent educational legislation, the research highlights the integration and contextualization of energy in different knowledge domains to promote understanding of current environmental challenges. Using a mixed methodology, the study examines curricular references to energy and categorizes them according to their emphasis on energy sources, consumption, technology, ethical awareness, and sustainability. The findings reveal a significant presence of the topic of energy, highlighting efforts to align educational curricula with the SDGs. Despite the significant focus on energy, the study identifies areas for improvement, including the need for greater interdisciplinary and practical integration that equips students to address energy challenges in innovative and sustainable ways.
