The Impact of College Students' Environmental Education on Green Infrastructure

Abstract

Education is the process of assisting students in the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and beliefs. College environmental education allows students to understand the complex systems that make up the environment of college, as well as the impact that students' and teachers' actions have on this. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of college student environmental education on green infrastructure while also examining the moderating influence of student satisfaction and student learning. A close-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from college students with the help of a convenience based sampling technique. To achieve the objective of the study data was collected from 370 students from China. Data were analyzed by using smartPLS and SPSS. The SEM-based results indicated that college student environmental education has a significant and positive impact on green infrastructure. Moreover, student satisfaction and student learning moderated the relationship between college student environmental education and green infrastructure respectively. The present study implications strategically guide educational policymakers in implementing green infrastructure by focusing on environmental education, student satisfaction, and student learning.
