An Analysis of the Circumstances of Tolerance Status Among University Students

The study was conducted to analyse the need for a training manual for undergraduate students to promote tolerance through heritage education. The objective of the study was to probe the observations of faculty members regarding the status of tolerance among university undergraduate students. This study was qualitative. The population of the study consisted of public sector universities of province Punjab. A total of 20 faculty members were selected through a simple random sampling technique. The researcher used the semi-structured interview schedule to investigate the perception of faculty members. Nvivo software was used for qualitative data analysis. The qualitative investigation indicated that the students' behavior is often intolerant. Results showed that two significant factors that contribute to intolerance among students were caste and gender differences respectively. Religion also plays an essential role in the occurrence of such incidents, which develop a situation of doing or dying. The intolerance towards different faiths and sects was observed. Students often did not show harmony and respect for others. Lack of balance and non-acceptability of others’ opinions creates conflict.

One hundred twenty-six respondents were engaged through convenient sampling in this study. Results found that the majority of respondents perceived online shopping as environmentally friendly. They perceived that it does not contribute to climate change and will not be a major environmental risk in the future. Type of packaging (77.8%), transport mode of freight (71.5%) and amount of packaging (69.9%) were the top three factors perceived to contribute to environmental impacts. However, a small number of the respondents perceived ICT equipment (32.5%), express delivery (28.5%) and time spent in searching online products (24.6%) were the factors that contribute to environmental impacts. The majority of respondents (74.6%) perceived that packaging waste generation was the major environmental impact of online shopping. In contrast, carbon footprint, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission made up of 56.4%, 53.3% and 44.4% of the total respondents. Most of the respondents intended to plan first before making any purchase to prevent wastage, reuse the packaging material and maximise the number of items of each purchase to reduce the environmental impacts. This preliminary study can provide the necessary background information on the level of awareness of university undergraduate students on this issue for future environmental education programs on online shopping.

The Three Levels of Education in Site Design Course of Architecture

“Professional Guiding Standards for Advanced Education Architecture in University Undergraduate Students” (2013 edition) indicates that the education system of architecture should include a section on “environment and site.” It should involve six learning components which are concepts of site and environment, site terrain classifications, environment of two tendencies, elements involved in the sites, elements of environmental impact, and site design.[1] As site design (drawing) has become a significant topic in the examination of registered architects, many domestic architecture colleges have set up site design courses as independent ones. After more than ten years of exploration and research in developing the education system of site design courses, teaching experiences and achievements have been acquired. Site design courses have been gradually integrated with general plan design, registered architect examination, and architectural programming. Teachers have specified relevant learning goals in the regular daily curriculum in addition to the basic and vocational education of architecture. In this way, the site design course would be more in line with the educational goals of architecture. This paper aims to analyze the education of site design courses in hope of developing the future architectural education.
