Resumen: The main objective was to analyse improvements in physical education (PE) teachers’ teaching self-efficacy and sustainability consciousness after participating in an intervention programme. An empiricalanalytical, quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-intervention measures was used. The sample consisted of 55 participants (47.27% female; 22.21 ± 4.02 years). The instruments were the Teachers Self-Efficacy Scale for SDE and the Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire. Results showed significant increases in teaching selfefficacy across four dimensions: values, systems thinking, emotions and actions. Systems thinking showed the greatest improvement (M= 4.46 to M = 5.36, p < 0.05, d = 0.88). Regarding sustainability consciousness, the economic dimension showed the highest postintervention growth (from M = 4.05 to M = 4.30, p < 0.05, d = 0.56), while the social dimension demonstrated the smallest improvement despite the highest pre-intervention scores (M = 4.51). Overall, the
programme impacted the studied variables, supporting the need for interventions in the PE teacher training.
