Abstract

Tackling complex twenty-first century global health challenges requires crossdisciplinary collaborations that extend beyond physical classrooms and across continents. The Transdisciplinary Education and Community Health Collaboratory (TEaCH CoLab) is a global teaching co-op established by health promotion and humanities faculty at three universities (Waterford Institute of Technology and the Institute of Technology, Carlow in Ireland, and the University of Washington, Bothell in the U.S.). The primary goals of TEaCH CoLab are to enhance global learning and problem-solving among the next generation of community and public health practitioners, to improve public health teaching (with a focus on digital pedagogy), and to increase empathy and community-connectedness. In this descriptive article, we present our program model and lessons learned from the first three years of collaboration to provide insights into how such capacity-building projects are established and sustained over time and across diverse geographical, cultural and temporal landscapes. Collaboration happens primarily online through academic and community partnerships, collaborative online learning, and pedagogy discussion and development. Students get to engage with course content and experiential learning that is part of a shared, global curriculum which emphasizes social justice, health equity, cultural humility and anti-racism, and advocacy. Our “lessons for the field” are collective, practice-based reflections by members of TEaCH CoLab based on their experiences and their involvement in development and facilitation. Our model for learning may help other health promotion scholars and practitioners develop meaningful global learning experiences that strengthen the interconnectedness of praxis, pedagogy, and communities.
连接各大洲的教室和社区以加强健康促进教学法:跨国教育和社区卫生合作的发展(TEaCH CoLab)
应对21世纪复杂的全球卫生挑战需要超越实体教室和跨大洲的跨学科合作。跨学科教育和社区卫生合作实验室(TEaCH CoLab)是由三所大学(爱尔兰的沃特福德理工学院和卡洛理工学院以及美国的华盛顿大学Bothell)的健康促进和人文学科教师建立的全球教学合作项目。TEaCH CoLab的主要目标是加强下一代社区和公共卫生从业人员的全球学习和解决问题能力,改善公共卫生教学(重点是数字教学法),并增加同理心和社区联系。在这篇描述性的文章中,我们介绍了我们的项目模型和从前三年的合作中吸取的经验教训,以便深入了解这些能力建设项目是如何随着时间的推移和跨越不同的地理、文化和时间景观而建立和维持的。协作主要通过学术和社区伙伴关系、协作式在线学习以及教学法的讨论和发展在网上进行。学生可以参与课程内容和体验式学习,这是共享的全球课程的一部分,强调社会正义,健康公平,文化谦逊和反种族主义以及倡导。我们的“实地经验”是TEaCH CoLab成员基于他们的经验和参与开发和促进的实践反思。我们的学习模式可以帮助其他健康促进学者和从业者发展有意义的全球学习经验,加强实践、教学和社区的相互联系。
