Reflection and reflexivity are key concepts in geomedia education. Reflexive geomedia competences (such as reflection on basic technical concepts and spatial constructions, reflexivity in appropriation of space and towards one’s own learning processes, as well as general reflexive competences) enable learners to gain deeper insights into geographical issues and more mature participation in everyday spatial decision making. The pedagogical target of teaching reflection and reflexivity requires teachers who have the professional training to do so. However, little research has been done on university lecturers’ knowledge of and perspectives on spatial reflexivity. This contribution therefore develops a competence model of spatial reflexivity, and empirically explores teachers' starting points for teaching reflexivity. It does so by analysing 17 in-depth qualitative interviews with German university teachers and teacher trainers.
Keywords: reflection, reflexivity, reflexive geomedia competences, teacher training, competence model
