摘要

目的 在人们日益关注环境和社会危机的背景下,可持续发展教育已成为应对这些挑战 的一种重要教育方法。大学教育在培养具有可持续发展意识并致力于可持续发展的专业人员方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨大学教授的社会职业特征对其在教学和研究中的可持续发展意识和实施情况的影响。研究结果表明,巴斯克地区大学(UPV/EHU)正处于实施可持续发展的第一阶段,总体实施水平较低。因此,建议提高内部对可持续发展的认识,促进教师培训,将可持续发展能力纳入学术课程,促进与可持续发展相关的科研成果较少的领域的研究,强调跨学科合作和性别平等,以在大学中实现更大程度的可持续发展整合。就弗吉尼亚大学/埃弗顿大学而言,可持续发展卫士符合全职女教授的条件,其学科领域属于少数。未来的研究应具有全国性框架、纵向性质和更广泛的大学机构代理。本研究方法的另一个局限性在于问题编码过程(李克特量表),这为研究人员带来了广泛的主观性。 原创性/价值 据作者所知,这是第一项衡量弗拉芒大学/埃弗拉大学可持续发展实施程度的研究,旨在明确其在实施和促进可持续发展方面所做的努力。

The role of the socio-professional characteristics of university professors in the implementation of sustainability

Purpose

In a context of growing concern about the environmental and social crisis, education for sustainability has emerged as a key educational approach to address these challenges. University education plays a crucial role in training professionals who are aware of and committed to sustainability. This study aims to examine the impact of the socio-professional characteristics of university professors on the awareness and implementation of sustainability in teaching and research.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses the academics’ statements through a survey to describe the degree of awareness and implementation of sustainability at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and evaluates the influence that certain socio-professional variables can have on their commitment to sustainability. For this purpose, the paper proposes the use of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.

Findings

The research reveals that UPV/EHU is in the first phases of implementation of sustainability, indicating a low overall implementation. Therefore, it is proposed to promote internal awareness about sustainability, promote teacher training, integrate sustainability competencies in academic programs and promote research in areas with less scientific production related to sustainability, with emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and gender equality to achieve greater integration of sustainability in the university. In the case of the UPV/EHU, the sustainable development champions fulfill the profile of a female professor, with full-time dedication and whose disciplinary area is a minority.

Research limitations/implications

This research has an individual framework and a static nature, and the results should be interpreted only in their context. Future research should have a national framework, a longitudinal nature and a broader range of university institutional agents. Another limitation of this methodology is the question coding process (Likert scales), which opens a wide range of subjectivity for the researcher.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that measures the degree of implementation of sustainability at the UPV/EHU with the aim of specifying its efforts in the implementation and promotion of sustainability.
