Tóm tắt
Critically analyses Masters' level geographical education in the USA. Since the mid-1960s high school standards have softened, while at degree level interest in the broad liberal-arts courses has declined in favour of more vocational approaches. Selection of Masters' students is difficult: transcripts are unreliable, references often useless now they are no longer confidential. Yet standards must be improved and courses restructured to reflect changes in society and economy. In the best colleges a two-year programme would include one year spent in graduate courses and seminars and one year in thesis-research or internship training. Internship programmes, equivalent to the apprenticeship system outside of formal education, are typically in teaching or planning. The symbiotic fusion of academic and applied geographical skills in such rigorous programmes is to be encouraged as a replacement for the still prevalent Masters' programmes consisting of unstructured soft-option taught courses of PhD dropout awards. -K.A.Cowland Univ. of Toledo, USA.
