Indicators of sustainability in educational practice: perception of teachers and students of UAGro-Mexico

Abstract

Teachers and university students require knowledge to generate positive changes and to overcome environmental challenges through innovative and relevant research. The Autonomous University of Guerrero lacks reliable methodologies and instruments required to evaluate progress towards sustainable development. This research proposes sustainability indicators as substantive functions at the educational levels of high school, bachelor's degree, and postgraduate study. Indicators were developed via two surveys of 63 teachers and 511 students from four educational programs
