Abstract

This article presents a study to assess Chinese students sustainability awareness. We used the tool “Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge” (ASK), which was initially designed by the School of Environment and Nature Resource of Ohio State University. Using this tool with Chinese students needed not only translating but also changing the context to adapt it to China. The results indicated that the environmental problems are the most attractive sector for Chinese students, whose SD knowledge was mainly elaborated from the textbook.
