U.S.-Singapore Workshop: Expanding U.S.-Asia Collaborations in Geography Education

0854636庄严标题：美国-新加坡研讨会：扩大美国-亚洲地理教育合作该奖项支持美国研究人员、博士后和研究生参加美国-新加坡研讨会，以扩大美国-新加坡的地理教育合作。2010年初将在新加坡举行亚洲地理教育合作会议。 共同组织者是位于华盛顿的美国地理学家协会（AAG）的迈克尔·索伦博士。C.还有周医生东南亚地理协会和新加坡南洋理工大学的Hung Chang说。 研讨会将扩大网络的AAG？的全球地理中心（CGGE）教育，以支持地理学家之间的在线国际合作。 在过去，他们已经开发了由三个模块（民族主义，全球经济和人口）组成的第一阶段，现在正在计划开发由三个新模块（移民，全球气候变化和水资源）组成的第二阶段。 第二阶段项目的研讨会将产生三个主要成果：1）收集新的亚洲案例研究和模块的合作活动，2）在美国和亚洲教授的本科地理课程中进行研讨会材料的课堂试验，以及3）积极使用模块的美国和亚洲地理学家骨干在自己的地理课程中计划合作。 在研讨会上开发的材料将借鉴参与学生和教师的地理研究。 讲习班参加者将接受关于管理与这些单元的协作的培训。 他们还将做好收集数据的准备，作为国际研究工作的一部分，以研究讲习班上编写的材料的影响。 美国地理学家协会和东南亚地理协会之间有足够的利益重叠，表明它们能够成功地开展拟议的活动，这种互动将使双方受益。 出版后，这些模块将提供更多的各种资源，用于教学地理问题。 通过让博士后和处于职业生涯早期阶段的学生参与进来，研讨会将为参与者提供一个建立有价值的国际网络的机会，这些网络可以在随后的几年中继续加强他们的教学和研究。 最终，这些关系将增强美国和国外本科生的国际视野，他们使用CGGE模块来了解亚洲的地理问题。 研讨会的广泛传播？的材料将通过出版物和AAG网站提供。 这些材料将以英文、西班牙文和中文出版。

0854636SolemTitle: U.S.-Singapore Workshop: Expanding U.S.-Asia Collaborations in Geography EducationThis award supports the participation of American researchers, postdocs, and graduate students in a U.S. - Singapore workshop on expanding U.S.-Asia Collaborations in Geography education to be held in Singapore in early 2010. The co-organizers are Dr. Michael Solem of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) in Washington, D. C. and Dr. Chew?Hung Chang of the Southeast Asian Geography Association and the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The workshop will extend the networks of the AAG?s Center for Global Geography (CGGE) education to support online international collaborations between geographers. In the past they have developed Phase 1 consisting of three modules (Nationalism, Global Economy, and Population) and are now planning on developing Phase 2 consisting of three new modules (Migration, Global Climate Change, and Water Resources). The workshop sessions will result in three major outcomes for the Phase 2 project: 1) a collection of new Asian case studies and collaborative activities for the modules, 2) classroom trials of the workshop materials in undergraduate geography classes taught in the U.S. and Asia, and 3) a cadre of American and Asian geographers who actively use the modules to plan collaborations in their own geography classes. Materials developed in the workshop will draw on geographic research by participating students and faculty. Workshop participants will receive training for managing collaborations with the modules. They will also be prepared to collect data as part of an international research effort to study the impact of the materials developed in the workshop. There is sufficient overlap of interests between the Association of American Geographers and the Southeast Asian Geography Association to indicate that they can successfully pursue the activities proposed and that the interaction will benefit both sides. When published, these modules will offer a larger variety of resources for teaching geographic issues. By involving postdocs and students in early career stages, the workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to build valuable international networks that can continue to enhance their teaching and research in subsequent years. Ultimately, these relationships will enhance the international perspectives of undergraduate students in the U.S. and abroad who use the CGGE modules to learn about geographic issues in Asia. Broad dissemination of the workshop?s materials will be made available through publications and the AAG websites. The materials will be published in English, Spanish and Chinese.
