“…It can be seen that green lifestyle can be used as one of the determinants of pro-environmental behaviour. In addition, Ting et al [18] argued that younger generations have higher tendency to engage in individual behavioural change and modification of their lifestyle to adjust to different condition. Therefore, it is worthwhile to examine whether students' green lifestyle can be a predictor of pro-environmental behaviour.…”

“…Subsequently, green lifestyle adoption led them to engage in pro-environmental behaviour including recycling, using pro-environmental technology, and preferring organic foods. College students are from the younger generations that are exposed to immediate changes [18]. For this reason, students tend to follow a trendy lifestyle, such as a green lifestyle, by their own choice, and modify their lifestyle according to the current stream.…”

“…In promoting pro-environmental behaviour, colleges, universities, and training centers play an essential role, since individual behavioural change can be easily fostered among young generations [17,18]. Additionally, in the context of education, organizations are interested in having pro-environmental shifts due to their sustainability goals and implications towards student enrolment [19].…”

This study aimed to examine the role of environmental commitment, environmental consciousness, green lifestyle, and green self-efficacy in influencing pro-environmental behaviour. Data were obtained through a survey of 72 students at one of the training centers in Malaysia. The hypothesized relationships were tested using partial least squares (PLS) methodology. Results showed that environmental commitment, environmental consciousness, green lifestyle, and green self-efficacy positively influenced pro-environmental behaviour, thereby providing new insights to existing literature on environmental sustainability. The results may be used by educational institutions, the government, and private agencies to strengthen students’ knowledge, attitude, and behaviour that support environment-based education. The scope of the study was limited to students at a training center, so the results may not be generalizable to different settings. Another limitation was that the study used limited contextual elements. The novelty of this study is that it examined the role of environmental commitment, environmental consciousness, green lifestyle, and green self-efficacy as determinants of pro-environmental behaviour among students in an educational setting in Malaysia.

“…With appropriate and structured teaching, attitudes can be altered, and specific actions can afterwards take place. This was already shown by Hooi Ting and Chin Cheng (2017) , who examined the pro-environmental behaviour outcome and change through student participation and guided learning in an ecotourism-education-based study setting. They collected 100 responses from students for whom ecotourism study trips were planned as part of their curricula .…”

Highlights Tourism and environmental sciences' students are compared. Tourism students highlight topics related to “Profit” and “People”. Sustainability literacy in tourism cannot solely depend on the interest of teachers. Tourism academic programmes should be adapted to teach “strong sustainability”. Environmental sciences professors could be invited to lecture in tourism courses.

Medicinal plants were contextual to study during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of this study was to measure Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of medicinal plants and analyze the relevance of science learning during new normal COVID-19. The research method used descriptive quantitative with survey techniques carried out in 2019 and 2020. The instrument used 12 items test questions with a sample of 104 vocational students. The results showed that the students' LOTS of scores were higher (2.32) than students’ HOTS (1.69). The analysis showed that the topic of medicinal plants and the relevant environment during the new normal period of COVID-19. The conclusion from this study that the LOTS score was higher than HOTS and knowledge of medicinal plants became relevant during the new normal COVID-19.
