Research on Integration of Education for International Understanding in High School Geography Based on the “Big Concept”

Education for international understanding helps students learn about international cultures and listen to international voices, and it plays an important role in the teaching of geography in high school. In this study, the structure of high school geography is reconstructed by integrating education for international understanding under the “big concept.” This model includes three teaching concepts, four teaching objectives, and four teaching methods. Overall, the results of this study showed that the integration of education for international understanding can improve the students’ understanding about international issues and cultures and it can be used as a reference for teaching geography in high schools.
