“Geoactiva’t”. Creating synergies among different levels of education

Abstract

The Geoactiva’t project was designed by the Department of Geography at the University of Girona as a tool to introduce undergraduate students to secondary teaching, as well as to show secondary school students various concepts, tools and methods used in geography from an experimental and dynamic perspective. The project is organized in six different sessions with the collaboration of four graduates of the Bachelor’s Degree in Geography who have completed a master program in secondary education. The major goals of the Geoactiva’t project include fostering motivation for learning among secondary school students, discovering secondary teaching before reaching the post-graduate level and promoting geography studies in secondary education.
