This book provides insight into the importance and impacts that experiential learning has in geographic education. Like the first book on experiential learning in geography, this volume uses the same three areas, experience, evaluation and encounters, as a guide, but broadens the examination by looking at many different types of experiential learning.

This book provides insight into the importance and impacts that experiential learning has in geographic education. Like the first book on experiential learning in geography, this volume uses the same three areas, experience, evaluation and encounters, as a guide, but broadens the examination by looking at many different types of experiential learning. There are inherent differences in planning such experiences both domestically and internationally that become evident throughout the text. The book stresses the importance of reflection by the student in the learning process and can be used as a guide to planning. As such, this book is an essential read for students and faculty studying geography education. Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
