It is common knowledge that incorporating sustainability topics into effective pedagogical practice in integrated academic programs is not easy [76]. However, introducing pedagogical practices that foster motivation by gender through strategies that promote a deep learning approach could be the most effective path for EfS.…”

“…It is striking that both male and female students coped with academic stress by using a deep learning approach. This assertion is important because it is known that the deep learning approach is a strategy by which students extract meaning and understanding from course content [39] thanks to it is a holistic approach to learning [75], which means that sustainability topics can be addressed through the intellect, emotions and values [76]. Therefore, deep learning is relevant in the context of education for sustainability as the range of environmental, social and economic issues require making connections between different aspects using holistic ways of thinking.…”

Achieving sustainability requires systemic business transformation
