Abstract:
This paper reports on the initial implementation of a global learning project. The primary objective of the project was to develop in students a broader, cultural perspectives through co-reflection with an e-mate in sister classes at a collaborating overseas institution. The experience was designed to provide a cross-cultural environment for structured reflection and metacognitive thinking in which preservice elementary education students examined their beliefs about teaching and learning mathematics and science.
