The Journal of Environmental Education Volume 54: Numbers 1-3, 2023 ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Abstract: The COVID-19 lockdowns forced environmental educators to increase the use of digital technologies, bringing to the forefront the need for critical research on the implications for teaching practice. Through interviews in Barcelona, we explore how environmental educators perceived related opportunities and difficulties and how these connect with their competencies in environmental education. Non-formal educators reported a more comprehensive range of digital tools than those in formal settings and particularly highlighted the difficulty of sustaining the impact on environmental learning when replacing face-to-face methods with digital technologies. Interviewees commonly perceived motivational challenges. We discuss how these experiences were less related to educators’ previous use of digital technologies and more to mastering specific competencies that can help them deal with emotions. education for sustainable development| educators| ICT emotions| competencies Ruiz-Mallén, Isabel https://doi.org/10.1080/00958964.2022.2152409 PER 0 0 0 0 RIEBPL RIEBPL 2023-10-20 0 2023-10-20 00:00:00 2023-10-20 PER 44526 44525
