Future research may benefit from a more judicious approach to students’ perspectives through a quantitative study, which may confirm the perceptions of this
study using the scale of Nejati and Nejati (2013). Research could also be applied to
other higher education institutions to learn about other teaching experiences in other
universities and other levels of academic training. Our research method can be used
to a group of institutions, to benefit from a broader test base and compare it with our
participants’ opinions. This may bring new insights on the issue, including ways to
implement sustainability and ways to raise the awareness of those involved, both in
academia and in society at large.
