“…Inclusivity in education encompasses several key principles. Firstly, equity emphasizes that every student, irrespective of their background or ability, should have an equal chance at success in their educational pursuits (Smith et al, 2023). Secondly, diversity is about acknowledging, respecting, and valuing the vast differences among students, whether related to culture, gender, ability, socioeconomic status, or other factors.…”

This research explores the execution of an inclusive learning environment (ILE) in a first-year Software Engineering programme at a Chinese university within a Transnational Education (TNE) framework. The practical use of inclusive education in TNE settings is still relatively underexplored, despite its acknowledged role in improving student experiences and results. Using surveys, interviews, and module evaluations, the study examines the unique challenges and opportunities presented when inclusivity practices cross-cultural and educational borders. The research identifies three key factors in creating an ILE: the programme setup, cultural sensitivities in teaching, and diverse assessment methods. These factors significantly enhance student engagement and overall learning outcomes. The study notably contributes to the discourse on inclusivity in TNE, particularly within the Chinese context, offering practical insights for educators and stakeholders developing inclusive TNE software engineering programmes. It ends by recommending further research on the long-term effects of these strategies on student outcomes and TNE policymaking.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
