ABSTRACT

This online chapter is dedicated to global health educational pedagogy, the art and science, or the theory and practice, of teaching global health. There is now widespread acceptance and recognition that this field requires specialised knowledge and skill beyond that can be acquired by experience. Leaders and learners of global health programmes agree that a codified body of knowledge to produce the next generation of experts in the field is needed. The intent of this chapter is to provide you with a broad array of educational tactics and approaches as well pedagogical perspectives that are available to global health educators. Our aim is to highlight the rich landscape of tools, frameworks and theories that educators use to teach their diverse groups of global health students. The subsequent chapters will explore many of these topics in greater depth. We conclude with a list of suggested pedagogical resources for areas not covered in this book.
