Abstract
Environmental sustainability becomes increasingly important in a world of finite natural resources. In this context, the role of business education is to develop students’ appreciation for the role of business in society and help students to understand the responsibility of businesses in environmental protection and sustainable development of economy. Therefore, there is a need to provide various opportunities for student to develop knowledge and skills in problem solving, communication, computation, critical thinking, and decision making regarding environmental sustainability. The goal of this study is to assess business student learning on environmental sustainability by implementing active learning. Active learning is to give students more opportunities to meet the educational goals of classroom, connect classroom learning to its application in the business world, and increase student engagement in problem solving and decision making. Pre/post-tests were conducted in traditional business courses to evaluate effectiveness of active learning in environmental sustainability. The results indicate that students’ knowledge on environmental sustainability improved significantly through implementation of active learning.
