چکیده

دانشگاه‌ها در قبال افزایش سطح آگاهی‌ها، دانش، مهارت‌ها و ارزش‌های مورد نیاز دانشجویان و جامعه برای ایجاد آینده‌ای پایدار مسئول هستند. با این وجود، تلفیق توسعه‌ی پایدار در آموزش عالی هنوز در گام‌های ابتدایی خود ‌مانده و با چالش‌های بسیاری روبه‌روست. از این‌رو، شناسایی عامل‌های اثرگذار بر آموزش توسعه‌ی پایدار در ساختار دانشگاهی به منظور چیره شدن بر این چالش‌ها ضرورتی انکارناپذیر است. از 1810 تن جامعه‌ی آماری، شمار 182 دانشجو به عنوان نمونه‌ی آماری با استفاده از فرمول کوکران و روش نمونه‌گیری طبقه‌ای با انتساب متناسب (جنس و مقطع تحصیلی) انتخاب شدند. ابزار گرد‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامه‌ای محقق ساخته بود که روایی آن با نظر متخصصان موضوعیِ دارای اثر پژوهشیِ مرتبط با آموزش عالی پایدار و پایایی آن با محاسبه‌ی ضریب تتای ترتیبی (91/0 – 83/0 =θ) تأیید شد. داده‌ها در محیط نرم‌افزارهای SPSSWin20 و R پردازش شدند. یافته‌های آمار توصیفی (تحلیل عاملی تشخیصی) نشان دادند که عامل‌های اثرگذار بر توسعه‌ی آموزش عالی پایدار در هفت عامل تعهد مدیریت دانشگاه، داشتن دانش در زمینه‌ی آموزش عالی پایدار، آموزش‌‌های پایداری‌محور، همکاری و مشارکت، نگرش نسبت به پایداری، حمایت مدیریت و زیرساخت‌ها، و فرهنگ دانشگاهی شناسایی شدند. برونداد رگرسیون ترتیبی گویای آن بود که عامل‌های شناسایی شده در مجموع 1/52 درصد از احتمال واریانس آموزش توسعه‌ی پایدار را تبیین می‌کنند (521/0 =R2 ناگلکرک).

چکیده [English]

Universities have a moral responsibility for increasing social awareness, knowledge, skills, and values to creating a sustainable future. However, integration sustainable development issues in higher education structure remains in its early stages and faces many challenges. Therefore, identify factors that affecting on outspread of sustainable higher education are an undeniable fact to achieve to sustainable higher education and overcoming challenges facing the university to achieve sustainability. From 1810 individual of statistical population, 189 students were selected as sample using stratified random sampling (based on gender and degree). A researcher-made questionnaire was the main tool for collecting research data which experts confirmed its validity, and its reliability confirmed by calculating the ordinal theta (θ = 0.83 – 0.91). Data were analyzed using SPSSWin20 and R software. The findings of exploratory factor analysis revealed that seven factors include commitment to sustainability, knowledge, education for sustainability, cooperation and participation, attitude towards sustainability, support from top-managers of university and infrastructures, and organizational culture affecting on university’s activities to achieve to sustainable higher education. Results of ordinal regression indicated that the identified factors are good predictor for outspread of sustainable higher education and in total explained about 52.1% of variances of Sustainable higher education.
