目的-本文的目的是提供一种评估本科生群体可持续发展知识的工具。设计/方法/方式-多项选择题是通过征求专家意见，焦点小组，试点测试，分布通过大规模的在线调查和分析项目反应理论。结果-最终评估包括16个问题，从环境，经济和社会领域，涵盖可持续发展的主题内的基本概念。研究限制/影响-这一评估是一个初步的努力，量化知识的广泛和抽象的概念，可持续发展。作者计划继续完善这些问题，以更好地区分知识水平较高的学生，并将其替换为可能随时间变化的答案。实际影响-随着知识的可持续发展的概念越来越多地包括在机构范围内的学习目标，有i…
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to present a tool for assessing the sustainability knowledge of an undergraduate population. Design/methodology/approach – Multiple-choice questions were developed through soliciting expert input, focus groups, pilot testing, distribution via a large-scale online survey and analysis using item response theory.

Research limitations/implications – This assessment represents an initial effort to quantify knowledge of the broad and abstract concept of sustainability. The authors plan to continue refining these questions to better differentiate between students with higher levels of knowledge and to replace those with answers that may change over time. Practical implications – With knowledge of sustainability concepts becoming increasingly included in institution-wide learning objectives, there i...
