Longitudinal Study of Sustainably Educated Graduates

Abstract

To identify and track a cohort of students as they graduate from Plymouth University, and who have experienced a ‘maximal’ sustainability education, to monitor their life futures.  To gain a deeper understanding of the employment and citizenship impact of UoP’s sustainability education work beyond the time-span of studying at Plymouth and beyond the more traditional snapshot evaluations of outcomes and student experience through course feedback processes.  To acquire the benefit of alumni ‘hindsight’ perspectives on the sustainability education experienced at Plymouth. The aim is for their perspectives to inform the future visioning of the sustainability education strategy at Plymouth and inform work to develop more active and participatory ESD pedagogies.
