Students' attitudes and knowledge about components of Sustainable Development at Teacher Study on Juraj Dobrila University of Pula

Education for Sustainable Development is becoming increasingly important at all levels of the educational system including higher education. However, little previous research exists on Sustainable Development at Teacher Study. This study is conducted with an aim of questioning Integrated undergraduate and graduate university Teacher Study students from Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia about components of Sustainable Development during 2018. The questionnaire was made with a series of attitudes and knowledge on Sustainable Development from an ecological, sociocultural and economic component. The results indicate that the majority of the students have positive attitudes towards Sustainable Development and a great awareness of general sustainability components. Analysis reveals that students have moderate attitudes and knowledge for ecological (3.87) and economical (3.86) components of Sustainable Development, but higher understanding for the sociocultural (4.22) component (p < 0.05). Despite this, no difference was found on Sustainable Development components through all students' groups from Teacher Study, between gender and place of living. We emphasized factors in each component for Sustainable Development. These results could serve as an orientation in which our Sustainable Development in higher education should be directed to.
