“…A relatively small number of studies exist assessing the impact of sustainability education on practice (see Barlett and Chase 2013;Koehn and Uitto 2014). One such study is that by Hesselbarth and Schaltegger (2014), who surveyed 85 alumni of an MBA in Sustainability Management in Germany.…”

This paper seeks to contribute to the debate around sustainability by proposing the need for an ecocentric stance to sustainability that reflexively embeds humans in-rather than detached from-nature. We argue that this requires a different way of thinking about our relationship with our world, necessitating a (re)engagement with the sociomaterial world in which we live. We develop the notion of ecocentrism by drawing on insights from sociomateriality studies, and show how radical-reflexivity enables us to appreciate our embeddedness and responsibility for sustainability by bringing attention to the interrelationship between values, actions and our social and material world. We examine the implications of an ecocentric radically reflexive approach to sustainability for management education.

This study aims at evaluating the knowledge about Sustainability of students from a Business Management course of a private university of São Paulo and the influence of such knowledge in their attitudes, behaviors and sustainable consumption. The research is quantitative (survey) and it was developed with the students of the course of Business Management of a private university of São Paulo. Based on the responses of 131 students, it was verified, through the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), that there is an influence between the knowledge about Sustainability in the students' attitudes, behavior and consumption; however, the influence of attitudes on consumption was not confirmed. In the researched course, the theme Sustainability has been approached, but not in a specific discipline, in a fragmented way, in several disciplines. This research contributes to both academic community and society, as well as other public or private universities to improve the Pedagogical Course Project (PCP). This study aims at transforming sustainable attitudes into sustainable behaviors and practices of students, acting as citizens.

“…El uso de métodos mixtos facilita un conocimiento más profundo tanto del proceso, como de los resultados, y la relación entre ellos, poniendo hincapié en el contexto social y cultural. Entre sus debilidades se puede destacar que, estas evaluciones se limitan a estudios piloto o de casos, lo que difi culta su generalización (Koehn y Uitto, 2014).…”

“…Por ello, se recomienda que dichos procesos deben ser inclusivos, que favorezcan la participación amplia; holísticos, que considere los benefi cios y costes tanto individuales como sociales; y sea interiorizado y legitimado por todas las personas involucradas, dentro y fuera de la institución universitaria (Koehn y Uitto, 2014).…”

“…Los resultados son cambios en las condiciones, institucionales y humanas, como objetivo de las intervenciones implementadas. Asimismo, los impactos requieren cambios en el mundo real, tanto en el medio ambiente, en políticas y en la calidad de vida de las personas (Koehn y Uitto, 2014). Los factores bajo evaluación, internos a la institución, externos, o ambos, se centran en alguno de los aspectos aquí mencionados.…”
