Abstract:Purpose
This paper aims to describe the development, promotion and evaluation of sustainability learning experience database (SLED), a university-curated database of sustainability experiences to augment formal student learning. Its purpose was to encourage students to participate in experiential learning, to facilitate students’ critical appraisal of programs ostensibly designed to create sustainability and to, thus, develop students’ sustainability self-efficacy and employability.

The existing teaching quality evaluation methods cannot calculate the distance between the data points of teaching dataset and the center points of the large density grid, which leads to the poor classification of teaching data and the low accuracy of teaching quality evaluation. Therefore, a method of teaching quality evaluation of Wushu based on fuzzy clustering is proposed. In order to improve the comprehensiveness of teaching quality evaluation, the lost data of teaching resources were recovered. Based on this, the grid index of martial arts teaching data is established, and the relationship model between teaching quality and martial arts achievement is constructed. Based on the characteristics of Wushu teaching resources, the fuzzy clustering method is introduced to calculate the distance between each data point and the grid center with high data density. The experimental results show that the evaluation accuracy of the teaching quality is high, and the lost data can be accurately recovered. The evaluation efficiency, reliability, and stability of Wushu teaching quality are ideal.

“…Based on experience, use 1 to 9 as the corresponding judgment matrix scale [24]. e judgment matrix scale is as follows: when the scale is 1, it means i and j are equally important; when the scale is 3, it means that i is slightly more important than j; when the scale is 5, it means that i is significantly more important than B; when the scale is 7, it means that i is very important than j; when the scale is 9, it means that A is extremely important than j; when the scale is 2, 4, 6, 8, i and j are in the middle of two adjacent judgments [25][26][27].…”

Contemporary young college students are greatly impacted in the aspects of moral cognition and moral choice, which results in the weak moral will of some college students, vague moral concepts, and weak ideals and beliefs, which seriously affect the formation and development of college students’ moral quality. Therefore, the moral education evaluation model based on college students’ quality cultivation is constructed. Firstly, the present situation and defects of college students’ quality training are analyzed. Based on this, association rules in data mining method are constructed and introduced to extract valuable knowledge hidden in the data to assist education managers to make effective decisions and improve management level. Finally, the evaluation index is selected and the weighted principal component TOP-SIS model is constructed to realize the evaluation of moral education based on college students’ quality cultivation. The experimental results show that the evaluation results of the model are consistent with the actual situation, high degree of fit and freedom, and good practical performance.
“…Most universities attempted to influence student behavior by encouraging them to participate in “top-down” activities such as internships programs (Hayles, 2019), cooking workshops (McDonough et al , 2014), mandatory sustainable activities (Felgendreher and Löfgren, 2018) and daily or long-term challenges (Bloodhart et al , 2013; Lambert and Cushing, 2017). However, the authors observed that the involvement of students was evident although it was not closely associated with the “bottom-up” approach as discussed by Mazon et al (2020). The outcomes (e.g.…”

“…Chen et al (2020) observed similar results in their study wherein they discussed how foreign exchange programs and involvement in various activities positively influenced the professional identity and career choice intentions of students. Finally, Browne et al (2020) demonstrated that student participation in local or regional projects positively influenced their PEB and critical thinking skills.…”

Purpose
Changing the present behavior of individuals toward a more sustainable lifestyle is a complex task requiring a well-established strategy and institutional commitment. The purpose of this paper is to understand the strategic steps, as proposed by Steg and Vlek (2009), that has been mostly focused on by higher education institutions (HEIs) in the past decade (2010–2020) to foster pro-environmental behavior (PEB) of students.
Design/methodology/approach
A literature review was conducted following the approach given by Denyer and Tranfield (2009). Subsequently, the results of 147 articles from 22 journals were discussed using the seven-element system proposed by Lozano et al. (2013).
Findings
In the past decade, HEIs have increased their efforts to improve their understanding of the determinants of PEB of students and methods to foster PEB. However, the results indicated that the classification was similar to previous studies, with HEIs focused mainly on assessing students in terms of personal factors (assessment and reporting category), understanding the relationships among psychological determinants and their influence on student behavior (research category) and planning educational interventions (education category).
Originality/value
This is the first study that reviewed the role of HEIs in fostering PEBs of students using the approach proposed by Lozano et al. (2013) as a theoretical framework and the strategy proposed by Steg and Vlek (2009) as a guideline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
