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

Education for Sustainable Development (SD) is becoming increasingly important at all levels of the educational system including higher education. However, little previous research exists on students’ attitudes and skills towards SD 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 Likert Scale questions about students’ attitudes and skills on SD from ecological, sociocultural and economic issues. Analysis reveals that students have generally moderate attitudes and skills for ecological (3.87) and economical (3.86) issues of SD, but higher understanding for the sociocultural (4.22) issue (p<0.05), respectively. Despite this, no difference was found between students’ attitudes and skills on SD issues through all students' groups from Teacher Study. We emphasized factors in each issue that limit and enable students’ skills for SD. These results could serve as an orientation in which our SD education in higher education should be directed to.
