posted on 2019-04-01, 00:00 authored by Kat Ellinghaus, Jennifer Spinks, Glenn Moore, Paul Hetherington, Cassandra AthertonCassandra AthertonThis article examines the positive impact of overseas study tours on the teaching philosophies and classroom strategies used by the professors running the tours. While education scholars have identified long-term benefits of overseas study tours for students, less attention has been paid to flow-on benefits for teachers. This article aims to address this gap in the literature by having five Australian professors describe
how their international study tour experiences changed and improved
their teaching in the classroom. The article shows that in the process of developing a successful overseas study tour, professors can learn lessons about teaching that they can use productively in the classroom.
