这篇文章增加了学生对可持续发展的态度的见解，特别关注企业管理/营销专业的学生。它以高等教育促进可持续发展方面的一些概念解释和变革障碍为基础，其次是可持续能力的概念和学生的观点。一个细分的研究，以框架的各种学生处置的可持续发展的态度，458名学生在企业管理/市场营销的调查的基础上。根据学生对可持续发展问题的态度，我们发现了四个不同的学生群体：温和的问题解决者;悲观的非信徒;乐观的现实主义者;以及坚定的个人主义者。细分研究的结果表明，在获取可持续发展能力的一个适合所有的方法是不可行的。这就要求在方法的多样性，以准备学生在处理可持续发展问题的复杂性和不确定性，面向更多的自我调节学习，并发展批判性和解释能力。(C)2018作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
This article adds insights in students' attitudes toward sustainability, with specific focus on students in business management/marketing. It builds upon a number of conceptual interpretations and barriers for change in higher education for sustainable development, followed by the concept of sustainability competences and the students' perspectives. A segmentation study is developed in order to frame the variety of student dispositions of sustainability attitudes, based on a survey among 458 students in business management/marketing. Four different segments of students are discovered, according to their attitudes toward sustainability issues: moderate problem solvers; pessimistic non-believers; optimistic realists: and convinced individualists. The results of the segmentation study reveal that a one-fit-for-all approach in acquiring sustainability competences is not feasible. This calls for a diversity in approaches to prepare students in dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of sustainability issues, oriented toward more self-regulated learning, and developing critical and interpretational competences.
