Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the comprehension and engagement of higher education students with development issues, particularly focusing on environmental literacy. Environmental literacy encompasses an individual’s knowledge, awareness, and capacity to address concerns through practical actions. As higher education shapes future leaders and professionals crucial to sustainable development, assessing students’ literacy levels and identifying influential factors becomes imperative. To accomplish this, our research utilized a combination of surveys and qualitative interviews with students from diverse disciplines. Surveys gauged students’ knowledge, attitudes, values, and behaviors regarding development, while interviews provided insights into their perspectives and experiences. Analysis of the gathered data aimed to delineate the environmental literacy profile within educational institutions, with a specific emphasis on sustainable development. Through this investigation, we aimed to uncover factors facilitating or impeding students’ engagement in sustainable practices. Moreover, we sought to discuss the implications of our findings for curriculum development and teaching methodologies employed by educators, as well as institutional policies.
