This reinforces that, although the theme ‘sustainable development’ is widely
discussed, the expression still does not have a fully sedimented concept, both in
academic and institutional bias. It also demonstrates that it is a changing understanding and in constant construction, simultaneously with the evolution and ripening
of society in relation to its role towards sustainability, as a whole.
Future studies can expand the research sample, mapping an overview of the
perception of students from PRME signatory schools, comparing with non-signatory
schools, on the expression and implications of sustainable development. Another
contribution would be the development of a research on the actions developed by the
students in their institutional environment after the activity of reflection and reconceptualization of the expression sustainable development, in order to understand how
this exercise can influence their daily practice.
