“…High schoolers are at a critical stage in their lives where they are developing their attitudes and behaviours towards the environment (Aydin et al, 2017). By identifying the factors that influence gender differences in water literacy among this demographic, this study could help educators design more effective environmental education programs that are specifically targeted towards high schoolers (Kanapathy et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to look into gender-based differences in high school students' water literacy knowledge, attitudes, and values. Utilizing a simple and stratified random sample procedure, 380 fourth graders from eight schools in Hulu Langat, Selangor, were selected to participate. The data were gathered using a 5-part questionnaire that had sections for respondent information, scientific knowledge, hydrosocial knowledge, attitudes, and water literacy values. A two-way MANOVA was used to examine inferential data. Male and female students scored significantly differently on average, with female students surpassing male students in knowledge and attitudes, according to the results. The value of water literacy does not differ significantly across male and female students. The results of this study may be useful in identifying knowledge and comprehension gaps regarding water-related issues, which could help in the development of educational materials and programmes as well as people with high levels of water literacy in terms of attitudes and values.

“…The proposed systems thinking hierarchical model pyramid is also expected to support current chemists, future chemists and future global citizens’ perspectives on chemistry, not only as a subject matter but also as a mechanism in highlighting complex global changes faced by the world. Kanapathy et al (2020) also propose a conceptual framework based on the knowledge, attitude and practices model and the Hines model that highlight the levels of knowledge, attitude and behaviour towards SD dimensions, namely, economy, social and environment, in the context of chemistry curriculum.…”

Purpose In Malaysia, research indicates that there is an interest amongst the stakeholders, namely, administrators and academicians to be engaged in education for sustainable development (SD), but it is rarely implemented as a part of the higher education curriculum due to various barriers. This paper aims to develop a framework for integrating SD concepts into the chemistry curriculum, using a case study approach. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted at a local university located in Selangor, Malaysia, offering a foundation programme to students between 17 to 18 years of age. Data was collected using a qualitative approach that involved 12 experts as informants. The collected data was analysed via three coding stages, namely, open coding, category coding and thematic encoding using Atlas.ti 7.0 software. Findings The research revealed that six aspects contribute to the integration of SD concepts into the chemistry curriculum, namely, educational policy, awareness, resources, curriculum, pedagogical approach and stakeholders’ engagement. The proposed framework was formulated by considering these aspects. Originality/value The findings of this study can be used as a guide to facilitate the integration of SD concepts into the chemistry curriculum. It is expected to encourage the involvement of more teachers in adopting sustainable chemistry teaching.
