“Our common future” for different subjects: How accounting, engineering and pedagogy courses enhance sustainable development literacy

Considering the pedagogical need for sustainable development the present study presents the results of an explorative study considering how a common framework for teaching sustainable development can affects students from different disciplines, such as accounting, engineering and pedagogy. Through a survey, data collection has been developed looking for the level of students literacy and their perception on sustainable development issues. A first survey collected data at the begging of three different courses that, despite their different subjects (accounting, engineering and pedagogy), propose a specific section on sustainability. The same survey was proposed at the end of these courses for determining the change in the level of sustainable development literacy of the attending students. First results underline how the same approach can obtain different results on the literacy level of students underlining the importance of a tailor-made education according to different subjects.
