Exploring Gen Z Knowledge of Sustainable Home Textiles through a Teaching Module
Ragul Senthil; V. Ann Paulins
Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, v116 n4 p29-34 2024
A sustainability module was developed for a college-level textiles course that included active and participatory learning strategies about home textiles products. Through pedagogical activities it was confirmed that students began the module with a basic understanding of sustainability, a general desire to reduce carbon footprints, and desires for ethically sourced textile products. The teaching module offered ideas for students to enhance their knowledge of sustainable textiles while compiling information about limitations to students' understanding of the complex topic of sustainability.
