Abstract

ABSTRACT The study verified how teaching for sustainability has been applied in the learning of Brazilian higher education students. From the perspective of the Second Best Theory, the presence of themes related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes was analyzed. It presents a qualitative and quantitative approach using content analysis techniques. The documentary research method helped in the collection of ordinances and guidelines of the Ministry of Education, as well as the tests applied in the period from 2004 to 2018. It is concluded that there was already a concern with the topic in the Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes tests and that students should have an ethical profile committed to social, cultural, and environmental issues. Although it is difficult to measure the consolidation of student thinking and skills acquired in the years of study, the research contributed to reinforce that the actions of educational institutions are relevant in expanding the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.

从可持续发展目标看巴西高等教育的可持续性教学

摘要:本研究验证了可持续发展教学如何应用于巴西高等教育学生的学习。从次优理论的角度，分析了全国大学生Desempenho考试中与联合国可持续发展目标相关的主题是否存在。它提出了使用内容分析技术的定性和定量方法。文献研究法在收集2004年至2018年期间教育部的法令和指导方针以及适用的测试方面提供了帮助。结论是，在全国学生考试中已经有一个关于这个话题的问题，学生应该有一个致力于社会、文化和环境问题的道德形象。尽管很难衡量学生在多年学习中获得的思维和技能的巩固，但该研究有助于加强教育机构的行动与扩大对可持续发展目标的承诺相关。
