Jacinta Maxwell; Katie Burke; Yvonne Salton – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Online learner engagement research has risen internationally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in relation to experiential learning. However, this research has focused on the use of technology to access learning about a particular place rather than consider the pedagogical potential of the places in which the learner is located. This study…

Katherine Burlingame – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Learning by doing has become a common phrase in the scholarship of teaching and learning as research continues to emphasize the benefits of active student engagement in higher education. Instead of passive vessels to be filled with information, students become the architects of their own education. While traditional ways of teaching focus on what…

John Clayton; Paul Griffin; Graham Mowl – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
In this paper we reflect on our experiences teaching human geography across two modules that pedagogically centre student reflexivity through content that has potential to be dis-comforting. Drawing upon student experiences on two final year option modules, relating to social and spatial exclusion and "race", ethnicity and multiculture,…

Douglas Mitchell; Emma W. Laurie; Richard D. Williams; Kirstie A. Fryirs; Gary J. Brierley; Pamela L. M. Tolentino – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Capacity strengthening activities -- be that in the form of courses, workshops, seminars -- have become embedded in research projects as a requirement for funding and as a means for researchers to demonstrate positive societal impacts. We apply qualitative research techniques including interviews, questionnaires and observations to scrutinise and…

Hoffman, Jesse; Pelzer, Peter; Albert, Loes; Béneker, Tine; Hajer, Maarten; Mangnus, Astrid – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2021
This paper investigates how the teaching and learning about "wicked" environmental problems may be fostered through an educational approach premised on futuring -- the active imagination of the future. The growing academic interest in possible and desirable futures provides a promising starting point for restructuring education as…

Praskievicz, Sarah – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Experiential learning is recognized as a high-impact educational practice. Fieldwork is an important component of the geographic tradition. When implemented using an inquiry-based approach, fieldwork can be a highly effective form of experiential education. However, many geography instructors are dissuaded from implementing inquiry-based fieldwork…

McNeal, Karen S.; Ryker, Katherine; Whitmeyer, Shelley; Giorgis, Scott; Atkins, Rachel; LaDue, Nicole; Clark, Christine; Soltis, Nick; Pingel, Thomas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
We developed and tested different pedagogical treatments using an Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox to teach introductory geoscience students about reading topographic maps at five institutions in both pilot and full implementation studies. The AR Sandbox treatments were characterized as 1) unstructured play, 2) a semi-structured lesson, and 3) a…

Evans, Ruth – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) has risen up the global advocacy agenda and is recognized as an important child-safeguarding issue. The topic crystallizes key debates in my module, "Culture and Development in Africa," and enables Geography undergraduates to explore complex intersections of childhood, gender, sexuality, and…

Holloway, Paul; Kenna, Therese; Linehan, Denis; O'Connor, Ray; Bradley, Helen; O'Mahony, Bernadette; Pinkham, Robyn – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2021
Opportunities to deploy digital technologies to research agendas and active learning in tertiary education are becoming more widespread. Despite this, many research techniques are still taught using traditional "pen-and-paper" methodologies. In this article, we report on a strategy for integrating mobile technology into our large (275+)…

Thomas, Matthew; Bryson, John R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2021
COVID-19 forced universities to engage in rapid improvisation and adoption of online learning and teaching. This paper explores "real-time blended" learning in which online students are taught simultaneously with students who are experiencing proximate learning. Two cliques could develop with those learning online becoming observers…

Wood, Astrid – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
This paper explores the benefits and drawbacks of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) to engage undergraduate students in geography modules at Newcastle University. I consider the efficacy of "student response systems" (hereafter SRS, also known as audience response systems, clickers or personal response systems) in large lectures by…

Graham, Marnie; McLean, Jessica; Read, Alexander; Suchet-Pearson, Sandie; Viner, Venessa – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2017
The flipped classroom approach, a form of blended learning, is currently popular in education praxis. Initial reports on the flipped classroom include that it offers opportunities to increase student engagement and build meaningful learning and teaching experiences. In this article, we analyse teacher and student experiences of a trial flipped…
