Abstract	This paper looks at the learning experiences of primary student teachers with regard to the concept of sustainable development (SD) through their pre-service programmes and how primary student teachers conceptualise SD in Turkey. SD has increasingly become a concept that indispensable in any discussion of human impact on the environment and development. In this respect, although there has been a growing interest and, in turn, body of knowledge being created on sustainable development from the view of different disciplines and particularly from the view of geography, it is not a well-known issue and concept in Turkish context. The same idea could also be applied to geography education in Turkey because there has been quite little recognition and literature available in geography tradition of Turkey in terms of sustainable development until recently. Based on the data collected through questionnaires with student teachers, this paper, firstly, examines student teachers' opinions of and attitudes towards the concept of SD. The majority is not sure about what the term SD means and associates the issue mainly with more technical terms and tends to ignore various dimensions of sustainable development. Then, it goes on to examine the ways and the role of the programmes in defining and disseminating knowledge on SD in two universities of Turkey. The coverage of SD in both universities is usually quite superficial with very limited inquiry opportunities and usually without any references to critical and social aspects of sustainable development.
