“…Rands’ (2009) principles-attributes matrix (PAM) suggested that successful teaching should impact students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes. In addition, Ha-Brookshire and Norum (2011) indicated that sustainable development, organizational responsibility and personal responsibility should be the key topics while learning about sustainability. Hence, students’ knowledge, skills and attitude toward sustainable development, organizational and personal responsibility were assessed to investigate the overall impact of the study’s learning components.…”

“…Rand proposed three underlying principles ( sustainable development, organizational responsibility and personal responsibility ) as a basis/rationale for incorporating environmental sustainability topics into management education and three attributes ( knowledge, skills and attitude ) that faculty should foster in students via environmentally focused management education. The proposed PAM matrix has been successfully used by researchers studying the impact of sustainability-based education (Lee and Salahuddin, 2020; Ha-Brookshire and Norum, 2011). As the focus of this research was to study the impact of cotton and sustainability-based topics and projects implemented in FMD courses on student learning outcomes, the Rand’s PAM matrix was found applicable and used in research analysis.…”

Purpose This study aims to promote sustainability-based education in fashion design and merchandising program to enhance students’ knowledge, skills and attitude about sustainability development, organizational responsibility and personal responsibility from the cotton industry perspective. Design/methodology/approach To conduct this study, three learning components were considered: learning from experts, learning by doing and outreach activity. Sustainability-related topics were strategically incorporated in different courses for one year; project-based learning approach was adopted; and pre–posttest survey was conducted to study the impact of sustainability-based education on student learning outcome. Rand’s principles-attributes matrix was applied to analyze the impact of sustainable education on student learning outcomes. Findings The results of course projects indicated enhanced student’s abilities on using use different types of cotton materials in product development, creative use of cotton in visual merchandising and development of business plans focused on sustainability. The two-group mean comparisons showed a significant positive impact on students’ knowledge in cotton and sustainability, followed by students’ skills and attitudes. Originality/value In response to the lack of systematic approach to incorporate sustainability-related topics in textile and apparel design discipline, this study offered an opportunity to involve approximately 110 students in various sustainability-based teaching and learning projects.

“…In other words, detached from the clearly structured and assessment-focused schooling environment, extracurricular education allows to overcome structural boundaries and to implement an advantageous learning format for ESD [56]. With regards to ESD, the positive effect of extracurricular activities on students' knowledge and attitudes regarding sustainability and SD has been recorded in several studies [57][58][59]. Extracurricular activities are likewise perceived by teachers as valuable approach to foster competencies for citizenship, such as decision-making [60].…”

Students’ Decision-Making in Education for Sustainability-Related Extracurricular Activities—A Systematic Review of Empirical Studies

2018

Equipping students with the capability to perform considerate decision-making is a key competence to elaborate socio-scientific issues. Particularly in the socio-scientific context of sustainable development, decision-making is required for the processing of information and the implementation of sustainable action. Extracurricular activities in education for sustainable development (ESD) offer a suitable format to promote decision-making due to their multidisciplinary and more informal structure. The purpose of this literature review is therefore to analyze empirical studies that explore students’ (1) decision-making in (2) ESD-related (3) extracurricular activities. Following the preferred-reporting of items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic search yielded 19 out of 365 articles, each of them addressing all three components. Despite the theoretical relationship, hardly any empirical enquiry is found examining the trinomial interrelation with an equal consideration of all components. Contrarily, we argue that each is positioned in favor for only one component with the others serving as a backdrop. It follows that the full potential of an equal distribution between all three foci has not been explored yet; even though integrating sustainability-related issues in extracurricular activities displays a promising learning opportunity to optimally foster students’ decision-making. Instead, studies that concentrate primarily on decision-making as a quantitatively measurable competence were predominant.

“…Although recent studies describe a positive direct relation between purchase attitude and purchase intentions (Chen, 2013;Patrícia-Silva, Figueiredo, Hogg & Sottomayor, 2014;Cheah, Phau & Liang, 2015), this model does not address how the ethnic identity of consumers influences the purchase intention within a context of artisan products. Studies on purchasing behavior consider ethnical identity as a predictor to explain the attitude and purchase intention because it is related to the emotions and attitude of consumers who are proud of their ethnic origins (Ha-Brookshire & Norum, 2011). Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze how the purchase attitude mediates the relation between ethnic identity and intention to purchase ethnic textiles.…”

<p>This research analyzes how behavioral attitude mediated the relationship between ethnical identity and intention to purchase ethnic textiles. We selected a sample of 405 postgraduate students from five different universities who fulfilled the following criteria: (1) they belong to the Mexican middle-class with an income ranging from 479 to 638 dollars a month; (2) they are part of the potential consumer market because they are under 30 years-old on average; and (3) they are familiar with the dynamic of handmade ethnic textiles because they live in a State that has native handicraft communities. Using the mediation model from Baron and Kenny (1986), the results showed that purchase attitude mediated the relationship between ethnical identity and intention to purchase ethnic textiles. Moreover, we found that ethnic identity influenced the intention to purchase ethnic textiles. This article provides information on the purchasing behavior of ethnic textiles by middle-class consumers in Mexico to allow artisans develop marketing strategies for this market segment and increase their sales.</p>
