Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The paper has 17 pages and consists of Introduction, Theoretical framework, Methodology, Results, Discussion and conclusions, Literature. 64 references.

There should be no abbreviations in the subheading, then the whole word, the term..example ...SL, SDGs & ESD?

The theoretical framework supports the research conducted, but I suggest that the results should be better presented. Perhaps explained more...for example in the results section, first line is a figure. Perhaps it should be explained how this figure was calculated? The data processing section is explained in great detail, but the results should also be more related...there is a figure, then a table and then another table...a few sentences in between and the paper would be better structured.

Otherwise, this work is very interesting.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1. Please incorporate the latest references and add them as companions to the older ones. While it is acceptable to use older references when necessary, you can strengthen their relevance by demonstrating that other authors publishing in recent journals also utilize those older ones. For example in lines: 82,105, 106,  272, 380, 425

2. The author should pay close attention to the potential indications of plagiarism in the writing, particularly for information presented in the form of data-based content. It is crucial to cite the sources for such information, as the data may change over time. Providing proper references ensures the credibility and accuracy of the work, for example, in part of an introduction (lines 19-30) no references are found. Another ethical issues is about data confidentiality must be maintained and should not be freely disclosed (line 215)

3. The author needs to ensure the inclusion of data related to the problem being addressed. When examining the title, which aims to improve attitudes towards sustainable development, there is no explicit information indicating that this variable is weak.

4. The author should clearly state what kind of t-test was used (line 378)

5. Data that is exposed more valuable is the process of the program that is followed by the student and how the output of each step from the program, not only pre and post of the variable. But how that variable was stimulated, is more essential and useful for the reader.
