Abstract

Future-oriented global understanding necessitates the development of a new form of cultural mindset; that is, transculturalism, as opposed to multiculturalism or interculturalism (Casinader 2014, 2016). This chapter will argue how geography, as a result of its unique form of inquiry education (Kidman and Casinader 2017), provides the ideal conduit through which teachers can develop such a perspective in primary and secondary students. The geographical emphasis on place, prediction and transformation as part of the inquiry process enables a more cohesive and holistic student understanding of global understandings.
