| Summary | Annotation <b><i>"This is a must read for all 11-18 geography educators. It argues for a new geography curriculum founded on a set of major concepts that are profoundly relevant to 21st century life. For years, books on 11-18 geography education have focussed on classroom techniques, new pedagogic technologies and alternative modes of student assessment. Not this one. 'Teaching Geography 11-18' digs deep. It asks not only what geography is for, but bases its answer on a set of key concepts able to sustain an exciting and relevant curriculum. It also grounds its many arguments in the latest geographical research, thus re-establishing the broken connection between geography teaching in schools and that in higher education".</i></b><p><i>Professor Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK</i></p><p>This engaging and stimulating book aims to radically re-shape and sharpen debates in geography education by taking an entirely fresh approach to both the subject and its place in secondary education.Key questions addressed in this book include:</p><ul><li>What is the place of geography within the secondary school curriculum?</li><li>To what extent does school geography reflect and engage with contemporary issues and theories from the wider subject?</li><li>What are the issues, challenges and opportunities of a concept-led approach to teaching geography?</li><li>What are the implications of ICT, media and technology for the future of geography teaching in schools?</li></ul>Influenced by the revised national curriculum for geography which has reduced the prescribed content to be covered, this book offers an objective view of the concept-led approach.<p>The new focus on concepts represents a significant shift in how geography is to be taught in schools, yet there has been little extended discussion of what a 'concept-led' approach to teaching and learning would entail. This book fills that void by examining geography's key concepts, and providing teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum planning using a concept-led approach.</p><p>This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum planning.</p> |
