Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The educational proposals on which the educational programs for sustainable development must be based in order to change the world after the COVID-19 pandemic that had global implications should be based on the Sustainable Development Goals, from a worldwide proposal of both the most and least resourceful countries, following the United Nations proposal (UN, 2021) to preserve the planet. Among the 17 priority Objectives of Sustainable Development are the following: Good Health and Well-Being (3rd place), Quality Education (4th place), Gender Equality (5th place), Proper Work and Economic Growth (8th place), Reduced Inequalities (10th place), Sustainable Cities and Communities (11th place), Climate Action (13th place), Life on Land (15th place), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (16th place), and Partnerships for The Goals (15th place).

This monographic Special Issue of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050; Current Impact Factor JCR: 3.9) aims to provide an opportunity to present the recent social and educational advances and proposals related to the development of programs based on the principles of equity and sustainability, from an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account empirical or theoretical articles from educational, sociological or psychological approaches, in different study areas and research fields such as program development, educational evaluation, development of emotional intelligence, sustainable development, environmental education; educational psychology, psychological development, sociology, etc.

This study addresses the relationship between the use of video games and social–emotional learning in adolescents, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, highlighting SDG 3 (Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). The Video Game Experiences Questionnaire (VGEQ) was administered to 1146 high school students in Extremadura, Spain, aged 12 to 18 (M = 14.51; SD = 1.57). The VGEQ assessed dependence, negative consequences, and emotional experiences. The results highlighted significant gender differences, with men showing greater dependence and negative consequences related to video games than women. Furthermore, differences were observed by age, with more notable effects in late adolescents. A valuation was found between emotions such as unhappiness, fear, and anger and dependence and negative consequences. This study highlights the complex relationship between video game use, dependence, negative consequences, and emotions in adolescents, with important implications for the well-being and education of young people. Recognizing gender and age disparities underscores the need for a nuanced approach to addressing the social–emotional effects of video games in line with the United Nations SDGs 3 and 4. Full article
