Abstract
ABSTRACTWith a growing concern for the environment and social responsibility, the definition of apparel quality has changed radically over the last decade from the traditional product efficacy-based quality to the quality encompassing every process that is involved in the production and the consumption of a product, including social and environmental responsibility. To address this change in the apparel quality analysis (AQA) course, the author transformed the AQA course by (a) incorporating sustainability issues within the entire AQA course curriculum and (b) developing materials and resources for apparel quality learning exercises. This paper proposes a framework for teaching an AQA course that integrates sustainability and discusses how the ‘mainstream’ approach to integrate sustainability into the course curriculum can aid in better delivery of an AQA course. The pre- and post-course survey indicates the significant, positive changes in students’ view of apparel quality as well as their attitudes and behavioural intentions.
