Abstract:
The aim of this research was to explore the effects of Year 12 students’ engagement in the Education for Sustainability Achievement Standard 90810. This achievement standard is part of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement [NCEA] and requires students to identify a sustainability issue, plan an action to either mitigate or solve that issue, implement it and then reflect on the efficacy of that action. The research also explored the possibility of such effects influencing these students’ friends and families.
