redie-article-40532024-05-08T20:19:03Z Environmental Sustainability in Higher Education: Mapping the Field Sostenibilidad ambiental en la educación superior: una revisión del campo Miranda, Luis Francisco Sánchez Buitrago, Jorge Oswaldo Viloria Escobar, Javier de Jesús sustainability environmental sustainability environmental education higher education sostenibilidad sostenibilidad ambiental educación ambiental educación superior A considerable amount of literature has been published on environmental sustainability in the context of higher education. However, no previous studies have investigated how environmental sustainability has evolved in the university context and little is known about the specific research trends in this field. In that sense, the main purpose of this study is to identify the most influential topics in university environmental sustainability research and the relationships between them. To that end, we conducted a keyword co-occurrence analysis of scientific articles published between 1989 and 2019. We were able to identify 23 core keywords. We then designed a map of associations between the terms, representing the relationships between them in thematic clusters. We found at least three major areas supporting environmental sustainability research in universities: environmental education, environmental sustainability integration, and environmental protection. Each research area is analyzed and discussed. Se ha publicado una gran cantidad de literatura sobre la sostenibilidad ambiental en el contexto de la educación superior; sin embargo, no existen estudios previos que hayan investigado de qué manera la sostenibilidad ambiental ha evolucionado en el contexto universitario y poco se sabe sobre las tendencias de investigación propias a este campo. El propósito principal de este estudio es identificar los temas más influyentes en la investigación sobre la sostenibilidad ambiental universitaria y la relación que existe entre ellos. Para ello, se realizó un análisis de coocurrencias de palabras clave en artículos científicos publicados entre 1989 y 2019, identificándose 23 palabras clave centrales. Luego se diseñó un mapa de asociaciones que muestra las relaciones entre los términos en conglomerados (clusters) temáticos. Se determinó que existen por lo menos tres áreas principales que soportan la investigación sobre la sostenibilidad ambiental en las universidades: educación ambiental, integración de la sostenibilidad ambiental y protección ambiental. Se analiza y se comenta cada una de estas áreas de investigación. Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
