摘要

工程专业的学生将负责开发新技术,以减轻或加剧未来的可持续性问题。因此,工程教育工作者的任务是教育工程学生的知识、态度和行为,使他们成为未来的变革者。本研究的目的是探讨工科学生的学习机会结构,以及学生学习可持续发展相关问题的机会与认知和行为学习结果的关系。方法我们在一学年的开始和结束时对中西部一所大型公立大学的工科学生进行了调查。使用结构方程模型,本分析侧重于工程专业学生自我报告的学习可持续发展相关问题的机会,以及他们自我报告的学习成果。结果我们记录了学生可持续性学习成果的社会人口统计学差异,包括工科学生在领导和行动主义行为方面的统计显著性差异。此外,学习可持续性的各种机会似乎与不同的学习成果有关,这对教师的教学方法和学习活动有影响。最后,可持续发展相关活动的课程参与与认知和行为学习成果之间的关系似乎被学生学习可持续发展的机会所中介。工程教育工作者必须仔细地概念化各种学习可持续性的机会与这些学习机会可能促进的具体学习成果之间的关系。此外,在课堂外参与可持续发展相关行动的机会可以增强学生在工程教育中的学习。

Engineering students' sustainability learning: Examining opportunities to learn about sustainability and their role in student outcomes

Background

Engineering students will be responsible for building new technologies that either mitigate or exacerbate future sustainability problems. Engineering educators are thus tasked with educating engineering students on the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that will make them change makers of the future.

Purpose

The purpose of this research was to examine the learning opportunity structures that engineering students experience, as well as how students' opportunities to learn about sustainability-related issues are related to cognitive and behavioral learning outcomes.

Methods

We surveyed engineering students at a large, public Midwestern university at the beginning and end of an academic year. Using structural equation modeling, this analysis focuses on engineering students' self-reported opportunities to learn about sustainability-related issues, as well as their self-reported learning outcomes.

Results

We document sociodemographic differences in students' sustainability learning outcomes, including statistically significant sex differences in leadership and activism behaviors among engineering students. Additionally, various opportunities to learn about sustainability appear to be related to different learning outcomes, with implications for faculty pedagogies and learning activities. Finally, the relationship between cocurricular participation in sustainability-related activities and cognitive and behavioral learning outcomes appears to be mediated by students' opportunities for learning about sustainability.

Conclusion

Engineering educators must carefully conceptualize the relationship between various opportunities to learn about sustainability and the specific learning outcomes those learning opportunities may foster. Moreover, opportunities to engage in sustainability-related actions outside of the classroom may enhance students' learning in engineering education.
