q3 · i3 · design · r3

Survey of 301 third-year Project Management students across two universities who rated their SDG knowledge before and after the SGC project series on a 1–5 scale. The study reports a "significant" increase from "1.74 (0.79)" to "3.83 (0.64)", with "Cohen' d = − 2.91".

"The mean (standard deviation) of what they knew before is 1.74 (0.79), and of what they know after carrying out the projects is 3.83 (0.64). Significant differences are observed between what they knew before and after the course (Student's test t = − 41.658***, p < .001 (Cohen' d = − 2.91)."

Related Claims¶

• Students perceive content-generation activities (web article search, video generation, self-assessment question generation) as more effective for learning SDG content than activities focused on reviewing peer materials. — related
• Students report high awareness of the impact of ICT on Sustainable Development Goals after completing the SGC project series. — related
• The effectiveness of the SGC methodology is consistent across different university contexts, with no significant differences in final SDG awareness, interest, or satisfaction between student groups. — related
• A K-means clustering of students based on pre- and post-project SDG knowledge identifies three distinct learning profiles, with the largest cluster showing the greatest knowledge gain. — related
• Perceived learning from SGC activities is positively correlated with awareness of SDGs and with satisfaction with SDG themes. — related
