  El presente trabajo tiene como propósito analizar el uso y manejo de geotecnologías en la enseñanza de las geociencias en las carreras de Ciencias de la Tierra y Geografía del Instituto Pedagógico de Maturín (IPM). Se abordó como una investigación de campo, con un diseño descriptivo, utilizando una muestra de 13 docentes y 64 estudiantes de las carreras mencionadas a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario. Como resultado se encontró que no todos los docentes utilizan estas geotecnologías en su labor académica, sin embargo, manifiestan en su totalidad, al igual que los estudiantes, estar de acuerdo con el empleo de ellas en la enseñanza de las geociencias y en el estudio del paisaje. Se concluye que el uso de las mismas es de importancia y que están dadas las condiciones para su aplicación en el aula de clase, con lo cual será posible mejorar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en el ámbito de las geociencias en el Instituto Pedagógico antes señalado.   Palabras clave: Tecnología espacial; teledetección; docencia; enseñanza de la geografía; gestión ambiental.   ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyse the use and management of geotechnologies in the teaching of geosciences in the careers of Earth sciences and geography of the pedagogical institutions of Maturin (IPM). It was approached as a field investigation, with a descriptive teach, using a sample of 13 teachers and 64 students of the aforementioned careers to whom they were applied a questionnaire. As a result it was found that not all teachers use these geotechnologies in their academic work, however, Mani-Fiesta in its entirety, like the students, to agree with their employment in the teaching of geosciences and in the study of Landscape. It is concluded that the use of the same is of importance and that they are given the conditions for its application in the classroom, thus it will be possible to improve the process of teaching learning in the field of the geosciences in the Pedagogical Institute mentioned above.   Keywords: space technology; remote sensing; teaching; teaching of geography; environmental management.

In this study, we are interested in the evaluation of the department of the Earth Sciences and Universe (Science de la Terre & l'Univers - STU), Faculty of Science Ben MSik, Casablanca, Morocco, through teachers of the department of Geology.The accomplishment of this work passes through an evaluation that was carried out firstly through a satisfaction survey and secondly, a questionnaire containing questions related to the profile of the teachers, program and educational strategies of discipline offering training to the level of Bachelor. We used Sphinx software to analyze the data through the application, namely, flat table, the crossing of the questions and the specifications table. The goal is to evaluate training within the department of STU in quality and quantity.  This research allowed us to identify many problems of the students who enrolled in this department.In other words these results are response elements that would help improve the teaching-learning of the STU field. Keywords: Evaluation, STU, survey, questionnaire, teachers, Morocco.

Teaching Learning

Promoting cultural competence in serving diverse clients has become critically important across disciplines. Yet, progress has been limited in raising awareness and sensitivity. Tervalon and Murray-Garcia (1998) believed that cultural competence can only be truly achieved through critical self-assessment, recognition of limits, and ongoing acquisition of knowledge (known as “cultural humility”). Teaching cultural humility, and the value associated with it remains a challenging task for many educators. Challenges inherent in such instruction stem from lack of resources/known strategies as well as learner and instructor readiness. Kirk (2007) further indicates that providing feedback on one's integrity could be threatening. In current study, both traditional classroom-based teaching pedagogy and hands-on community engagement were reviewed. To bridge a gap between academic teaching/learning and real world situations, the author proposed service learning as a means to teach cultural humility and empower students with confidence in serving clients from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds. To provide a class of 51 students with multicultural and multilingual community service experience, the author partnered with the Tzu-Chi Foundation (an international nonprofit organization). In this article, the results, strengths, and limitations of this service learning project are discussed.
