Student's Attitude towards Sustainable Development

Abstract The study aimed to determine the significant difference in the attitudes of students towards sustainable development when analyzed according to their gender, religion, and age. The study employed the non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing descriptive-comparative method, and convenience sampling with Mean, t-test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as statistical tools. Researchers used adapted and validated survey questionnaires in gathering the data from the 86 target respondents. The results revealed that the attitude towards sustainable development among students is notably high, indicating a solid manifestation of these attitudes. Interestingly, there were significant differences in attitudes based on gender, but no significant differences were found concerning religion and age. These findings suggest that attitudes toward sustainability based on gender differ, while factors like religion and age do not significantly differ. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable development education into school curriculums to cultivate a generation aware and proactive about sustainability issues. This research contributes to promoting environmental consciousness early, highlighting the pivotal role of education in shaping a sustainable future.
