Abstract

This article reflects on the author’s experience of developing a standalone geographies of sport module that is taught using an active blended learning (ABL) approach. The article argues that an ABL pedagogy is an effective way of teaching meaningful sports geography to undergraduate students. It discusses how the approach allows a diverse range of relevant topics to be included, incorporating both “human” and “physical” geographies, and enables a personalised approach to learning. Teaching the geographies of sport provides students with opportunity to cement and enhance their understanding of fundamental geographical concepts whilst applying them to sports case studies that can be adapted to the interests of the student cohort. That is not to say that teaching of sports geographies comes without challenges, and this article reflects on some of those encountered. Most significantly, how to ensure that the module content is appropriate for final-year undergraduates as the body of dedicated geographical literature on sport is still comparatively limited.
使用主动混合学习方法开发体育地理模块
本文反映了作者开发独立的体育地理模块的经验,该模块使用主动混合学习(ABL)方法进行教学。本文认为ABL教学法是对大学生进行有意义的体育地理教学的有效途径。它讨论了该方法如何允许包括各种相关主题,结合“人文”和“自然”地理,并实现个性化的学习方法。教授体育地理学为学生提供了巩固和加强他们对基本地理概念的理解的机会,同时将其应用于体育案例研究,可以适应学生群体的兴趣。这并不是说体育地理教学没有挑战,本文就遇到的一些挑战进行了反思。最重要的是,作为体育地理文献的主体,如何确保模块内容适合应届本科生,目前还比较有限。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Geography in Higher Education ( JGHE) was founded upon the conviction that the development of learning and teaching was vitally important to higher education. It is committed to promote, enhance and share geography learning and teaching in all institutions of higher education throughout the world, and provides a forum for geographers and others, regardless of their specialisms, to discuss common educational interests, to present the results of educational research, and to advocate new ideas.
