Survey: Students’ views on relevant knowledge and skills in sustainability education and attitudes towards sustainability at the University of Helsinki
This survey has been developed in collaboration with the Centre for University Teaching and Learning (HYPE) and the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS).
The aim of this project is to study the views university students at the University of Helsinki hold towards key knowledge and skills in sustainability education and the attitudes students have towards sustainability.
This survey is a part of a wider effort to develop a university-wide sustainability-themed course for all university students at UH.
Sustainability, in the context of this survey, refers to development that takes place within planetary boundaries and ensures equality and well-being both within and between generations. Furthermore, it takes into account deep, society-wide changes in human values and lifestyles in order to achieve the previously mentioned aims.
The aim is to create an understanding of the needs students have that relate to the development of sustainability teaching, and to ensure the course will be meaningful for the students that take it. Filling the survey should take between 15 and 20 minutes. All responses will be processed anonymously and confidentially. In addition, the results will be reported in a manner that ensures individual respondents cannot be identified. The collected data is used for research and the development of the course. We are happy to respond to any questions you may have regarding the survey or the development of the university-wide sustainability course.

Please fill out the survey by May 15, 2020.
