Empirical Study on Sustainability Integration Effectiveness Within Universities Curricular
Abstract
Sustainability has been integrated within the universities teaching systems and curricular. Universities have to go beyond the standard educational approach when addressing sustainability. This study investigates the relationship between Learning and Geo-Social Development with university’s sustainability integration effectiveness. This study adapted the Model of Economy Sufficiency and the Theory of Reasoned Action. Data was collected from 418 participants – the students and staffs of a government-linked university in Putrajaya – through an online platform. The findings indicate that Learning have an impact on people’s sustainability understanding and their responses towards the environmental concern. Hence, learning opportunities should be incorporated within HLIs academic platforms. This could generate more staffs and students with ethical business decisions and conducts that prioritize sustainability, which would lead to the creation of future leaders with sustainability mindsets. The outcome for Geosocial Development postulated its importance on ethical responsibility for sustainable development. Thus, it is imperative for the university’s curricula to integrate sustainability within its learning processes and outcomes. The findings confirmed the significant relationships of Learning and Geosocial Development towards sustainability integration effectiveness of the universities’ curricular. The findings shows that the proposed model indicates substantial predictive relevance. Future research should include larger and varied population samples as well as location and industry.
