Students' Attitudes toward Diversity in Higher Education: Findings from a Scoping Review
Issues in Educational Research, v34 n1 p97-122 2024
To inform future research and enhance intercultural learning in higher education, this article presents findings from a scoping review of international evidence on students' attitudes about the importance of diverse people and beliefs in higher education settings. A final sample of 56 studies were analysed for patterns in their methodological approaches, contexts, aims, and results. Findings suggest that students' conceptualisations of diversity are wider than a focus only on culture, race, or ethnicity, and that students across multiple contexts believe that diversity is an inherent, beneficial part of the learning experience. However, there were inconsistent results related to students' beliefs about the efficacy of diversity practices.
