Development and validation of the critical thinking about sustainability scale
Abstract
Critical thinking and Sustainability are both key topics of interest to higher education institutions. Over the decades, researchers have sought to measure undergraduate students’ critical thinking ability as well as their understanding of sustainability. However, while researchers acknowledge the importance of critical thinking to approaching the subject of sustainability in undergraduate students, they have given little attention to measuring undergraduate students’ ability to think critically about sustainability. Therefore, this study utilizes a sequential mixed-methods design to create and validate a scale to measure undergraduate engineering students’ ability to think critically about sustainability called the Critical Thinking about Sustainability Scale (CTSS).
