The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean students’ perception of sustainabledevelopment. Using raw data on students’ responses to the PISA 2018, this study analyzedKorean students’ responses to items related to sustainable development and comparedthese results with those from Canada and Singapore. PISA 2018 student questionnaire'sitems related to sustainable development were reclassified into environmental awareness,self-efficacy, sense of purpose, and action. Results revealed that students’ awarenessof ‘climate change and global warming’ from all three countries was higher than thatof ‘global health’, and their scores for environmental awareness were higher than theirenvironmental self-efficacy. Regarding environmental self-efficacy and sense of purpose,Korea and Singapore showed a higher response than Canada. Among the three countries,Korea showed the highest participation rate in environmental actions due to Korea’s socioculturaland institutional characteristics. Students’ perception of sustainable developmentshowed a mostly positive correlation with science achievement, and economic, social, andcultural status (ESCS), and the correlation with science achievement was higher. Theseresults highlight that it is possible to identify Korean students’ perception of sustainabledevelopment and suggest implications for education in sustainable development.
