Artificial Intelligence In Education For Strengthening Sustainability Literacy Among Students

Abstract

This study investigates the role of artificial intelligence in strengthening sustainability literacy among students. Sustainability literacy involves knowledge, awareness, and competencies related to environmental, social, and economic challenges. A qualitative case study design was applied in two educational institutions that implemented AI-based learning systems. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis. The results indicate that artificial intelligence enhances student engagement through interactive and adaptive learning environments, supports critical thinking through data-driven inquiry, and improves contextual understanding through simulation-based experiences. Students demonstrate stronger ability to interpret sustainability issues and apply concepts in real-life situations. The findings highlight that artificial intelligence enables more meaningful and student-centered learning processes that align with sustainability education goals. This study concludes that the integration of artificial intelligence has strong potential to transform sustainability learning and promote competencies required for addressing complex global challenges.
