Sustainability of Teachers' International Experiences
Since World War II international exchange and training programs for educators have increasingly played an important role in developing prospective consciousness and awareness of cultural diversity and global interdependence among teachers.

Some thoughts on the methodology of man‐environment studies
This paper deals with the methods currently in use in Man‐Environment Studies, the study of the interaction of people and the man‐made environment. Some of these methods are reviewed and examples of their use given. It is then suggested that none of them is useful in deriving a sufficiently broad sample—over time and cross‐culturally—for valid hypotheses to be formulated. After arguing for the need for so broadening the sample, some suggestions a…
