EDUC 320 - Learning in Place


Place-based pedagogy is an educational approach in which local environments are used as contexts for teaching and learning, grounded in the resources and issues of local communities. Place-based learning immerses students in local heritage, cultures, landscapes, and experiences, which serve as the foundation for studying language arts, science, mathematics, social studies, and other subjects. Learning in place is characterized by exploration of local communities and natural surroundings, hands-on experiences and problem-solving, interdisciplinary curricula, team teaching, and student-led inquiry.
