MSU Researcher Highlight
We want to feature MSU research on our website. If that is you or someone else you know, please contact the subject librarian(s) above, and we'll highlight it on our page!
Databases & Terms Searched:
We found articles by searching Web of Science, Environment Complete, Wildlife and Ecology Studies Worldwide, and ERIC. In all, we identified eight articles that specifically address these topics in at least one aspect. We utilized the terms: diversity, gender, inclusion/inclusivity, multicultural, minorities, instruction, learning, classroom, pedagogy and teaching in various combinations to identify articles.
Themes:
While there are some inclusive education articles within the environmental science field, there is certainly potential for further study. Of the articles found, many related specifically to environmental education outside the classroom rather than undergraduate environmental science instruction. The one article that does address environmental science education in the undergraduate setting comes from an international perspective (Kutbiddinova, Eromasova, and Romanova), although the observations can certainly be applicable to a US context. That leaves many aspects of inclusive education unexamined.
