Regular class attendance has traditionally been seen as a positive contributor to academic success in higher education. However, progress in educational technologies, evolving learning styles, and self-directed learning have given rise to a debate on the role of physical presence of students in class. This study aimed to analyse the impact of…

Hagge, Patrick D. – Journal of Geography, 2023
Blank paper maps are often used to assess student location knowledge. A total of 502 students enrolled in 12 undergraduate World Geography classes between 2016 and 2022 were initially asked to find some of the following countries on a blank world map: Afghanistan, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Mexico,…

Lisa M. DeChano-Cook; Lucius F. Hallett IV – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Teaching sports geography in higher education on the surface seems like it would be a great course to draw students in, get them exposed to geographic concepts, tools, and techniques, and the perfect forum for using examples to which students can relate. However, there are few instances of a sports geography course being in a regular rotation of…

Melissa Hanke; Hannes Schmalor – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Climate change education is a challenge for teachers, as they must have appropriate content knowledge to teach the topic adequately. Every teacher is confronted with both their own knowledge and non-knowledge, as well as with scientific knowledge and non-knowledge. The uncertainty about this knowledge depends on individual perception and can have…

Richard Hodgkins; Long Seng To; Tom Matthews – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
Climate change education within UK HE Geography has not produced a common curriculum, despite having an obvious set of learning resources, in the form of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report series, which has in many ways structured knowledge and understanding on climate change, its impacts and mitigation globally for…

This paper grapples with the challenges posed to critical geography educators by STEMification, or the enshrinement of market-oriented forms of science and technology education as the normative ideal for education in general. In both reactionary and progressive contexts, STEMification decontextualizes scientific and technological activity and…

Benjamin McCormick; Christopher A. Craig; Susan Gilbertz; Brittany Wood; Ismail Karabas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Globally, the disruptions to higher education caused by COVID-19 required most campuses to make impromptu shifts to emergency remote teaching (ERT). When compared to traditional online education, ERT generally falls short in terms of pedagogies, pacing, and/or successful modality implementation. Elsewhere, it is established that the sudden shift…

Yannick Noah Layer – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
In recent years, the field of geography in higher education has increasingly embraced the integration of visual and audio-visual methods as it enables enhanced understanding, multimodal learning, and geospatial literacy. Therefore, there is ample opportunity to incorporate new techniques from various disciplines to improve modern education for…

Gregory, Kenneth J.; Lewin, John – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Big ideas, sometimes referred to as key, core, fundamental or threshold concepts, are widely applicable concepts at the heart of disciplines that are or have been central and influential for their fields. Attention here is particularly directed to meta-concepts common to sister disciplines in the sciences. "Learning thresholds",…

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,…

Korson, Cadey – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Flexibility in course provision is needed more than ever. Blended learning, flipped classroom approaches and experiential learning, re-envisioned within hyflex environments, offer mechanisms for addressing current challenges in tertiary education provision. Today, universities are more intensely considering online study as a way to diversify…

Drawing on insights from a four-day online workshop, which explored geo-engineering and policy making with 13 youth participants, an academic and youth authorial team provide a guide to the co-creation of policy briefs. Drawing on excerpts from the policy brief at different stages of development and commentary provided by the authors during the…

Brookfield, Katherine – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
Accumulating evidence suggests that a range of benefits might accrue from conducting teaching and learning outside in natural environments, and more broadly, from incorporating some kind of contact with nature into teaching and learning activities. Although this evidence does not stem from studies that have focused on geographical higher…

Heide K. Bruckner – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
In recent years, there have been numerous calls for Geographers working in higher education to put into practice anti-racist pedagogies. Less well-developed is scholarship on the approaches which expand students' understanding of race and the socio-spatial and material processes of their own racialization. Within the context of food geographies,…
