| Research Abstract |
This research aimed to develop a pilot program that promotes college students’ awareness for scientific literacy and sustainability (Sustainable Development: SD). Especially, the following issues are emphasized to derive an indicator framework for scientific literacy and SD, to develop a practical educational program for college students to promote SD awareness, and to evaluate a pilot program. First, I reviewed several domestic and international documents and research reports relevant to science education, then find out indicators to measure SD literacy. Second, a pilot program for college students was developed. Some suggestions to create a curriculum were obtained. Third, the pilot program was delivered for the students that followed the word association method to evaluate how they promote SD awareness though the program.
