Abstract
Cet article explore comment la collaboration entre les départements de géographie des universités peut renforcer les compétences pratiques, les compétences de reflection et les approches innovantes des futurs enseignants dans les domaines de l'interculturalisme, la mondialisation et le civisme, et également faciliter la déconstruction des stéréotypes négatifs à l'égard des personnes, des lieux, des paysages et des enjeux. Ceci a été facilité par un module de géographie américano-européen commun qui a eu lieu en 2012-13 entre la University of Northern Colorado (UNCO), et SPD-Dublin City University. Ils ont collaboré sur de cours basé sur Moodle pour les étudiants facilitées par le AAG (Association des géographes américains) - Centre for Global Geography Education. Le module d'identité nationale CGGE examine les caractéristiques géographiques de l'identité nationale et de l'interaction de la culture, la politique, et le lieu. Étudiants UNC et SPD-DCU ont été rejoints dans la dernière partie de ce projet pilote par les étudiants grecs de l'Université de la mer Egée. La méthodologie utilisée dans ce cours pilote est facilement transférable. Dans ce document, les points de vue des étudiants irlandais au module sont analysés. This paper explores how collaboration between Geography Departments in universities can enhance the practical competencies, skills and innovative approaches of future teachers in the areas of inter-culturalism, globalization, and good citizenship, and also facilitate the deconstruction of negative stereotyping in relation to people, places, landscapes and issues. This was facilitated by a shared US-European Geography module that took place in 2012-13 between the University of Northern Colorado, and SPD-Dublin City University. They collaborated on a Moodle-based course for students facilitated by the AAG’s (Association of American Geographers) Centre for Global Geography Education. The CGGE National Identity module examines geographic characteristics of national identity and interplay of culture, politics, and place. UNCO and SPD-DCU students were joined in the latter part of this pilot project by Greek students from the University of the Aegean. The methodology used in this pilot course is easily transferable. In this paper the viewpoints of the Irish students to the module are analysed.
