Since the first UN conference on the environment, in 1972, many agreements seeking to establish goals to balance economic and social growth with environment preservation have been made. Regarding Information Technology (IT), the Green IT concept comes up. Such concept can contribute to a more sustainable environment and ensure economic benefits. In this context, we conducted a transversal field research using the survey method on a sample of 150 students of a technical IT course from five campuses of the Sao Paulo Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology in order to identify their competences (knowledge, abilities and actions) regarding sustainability in its broad aspect and applied to IT. As a result, there is an opportunity to work on the sustainability concept and use it to turn the students into a collective transformational agent. It was also identified the need to further develop their abilities related to Green IT and its importance to the IT field. |
