Perceptions, values and attitudes towards sustainable development. Detection of educative needs of t PDF Print E-mail
It is presented an exploratory study in order to know what the population, object of research, thinks and feels about the sustainable development. Its purpose is to identify the educative needs of the students from University and to be used as the base to design an educative program in the frame of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The results endorse urgency for designing and implementing programs which make available accurate knowledge of the environmental crisis and his deep roots but, over all, that they might reinforce a compromise decided with values from the sustainability and they might allow to consolidate citizen behaviour appropriate for a society that is pretending to walk towards equity, social justice and sustainable development.

Key Words: attitude assessment, environmental values, educative needs, education for sustainable development, sustainability values, higher education.
