Abstract

Place-based education is common in elementary school geography curriculums where children are taught about their surroundings. Emphasizing hands-on, real-world learning experiences, this approach creates heightened commitment to serving as active, contributing citizens. By post-secondary school, geography students collectively pursue knowledge within a classroom, learning about the importance of becoming global citizens. In the process, the benefits of place-based education are overlooked in favor of global aspirations. This paper considers the importance of place in student well-being, and the role of educator in place-based education, while reflecting on the role that local experiential education can play in increasingly global-oriented education.

摘要

在小学地理课程中，以地点为基础的教育很普遍，在该课程中，向孩子们介绍周围的环境。这种方法强调动手，现实世界的学习经验，从而为致力于成为积极贡献的公民做出了更大的承诺。在中学后，地理学生集体在教室里学习知识，学习成为全球公民的重要性。在此过程中，为实现全球愿望而忽视了地方教育的好处。本文考虑了场所在学生福祉中的重要性，以及教育者在场所教育中的作用，同时反思了地方体验式教育在日益全球化的教育中可以发挥的作用。
