摘要在高等教育中，将可持续发展全面纳入课程的压力越来越大，但如何去做却充满了困惑。尽管许多人主张在纺织品和服装（TA）课程中纳入更多的可持续发展主题，但对这一目标的实施现状以及一线教师、TA教育工作者、正在经历和应对挑战。本研究的目的是了解那些在第一线，TA教育工作者，目前正在经历和响应的号召，以整合。结果表明，目前在实现这一目标方面取得了实质性进展，但不完全是战略性或协调一致的。整合的主要障碍包括缺乏有形的资源和支持，感知的内容限制，以及时尚的对立性质以及个人障碍和学生的缺陷。尽管如此，作者得出结论，如果得到继续教育和专业发展等机制的支持，以及学科内的一些哲学转变，未来将有充分的希望加速融合。
Abstract There is increasing pressure in higher education to integrate sustainability holistically in the curriculum, though confusion abounds as to how to go about it. Though many advocate for the greater inclusion of sustainability themes in the textile and apparel (TA) curriculum, little is known about the current state of progress toward implementation of this goal and how those on the front line, TA educators, are experiencing and navigating challenges. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding about how those on the front lines, TA educators, are currently experiencing and responding to the call to integrate. Results indicate that current progress toward this end is substantial, though not entirely strategic or coordinated. Chief barriers to integration included a lack of tangible resources and support, perceived content limitations, and the antithetical nature of fashion as well as personal barriers and student deficiencies. Nevertheless, the authors conclude that the future holds ample promise for the acceleration of integration if supported by mechanisms such as continuing education and professional development as well as some philosophical shifts within the discipline.
