Field work / research in environmental ethics

Internalization of ethics education

In this best practice case students are encouraged to carry out field research in applied aspects of theoretical environmental ethics. The instructor asked students to do field work / field research in a topic of their selection and to ultimaltely produce videos to share with their peers. According to his teaching experience, without students being engaged in such applied matters and going through first-hand, real-life experience, ethics education cannot be internalized.
