""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."
"Professor Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK"
"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: What is
the place of geography within the secondary school curriculum? To
what extent does school geography reflect and engage with
contemporary issues and theories from the wider subject? What are
the issues, challenges and opportunities of a concept-led approach
to teaching geography? What are the implications of ICT, media and
technology for the future of geography teaching in schools?
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.
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.
This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers,
trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum
planning.
