Journal Article
Some important distinctions for geography educators
2014
Overview
This article discusses the importance of distinctions in the field of geography education. The aim is to help clarify the meaning of terms that are regularly contested, including education, geography, curriculum and pedagogy. The purpose is not to argue that boundaries between these categories are fixed, or that they cannot ever be transcended. Rather, a case is made that understanding what is distínctive about each aids the teacher in effective classroom teaching. In geography, three approaches are identified: spatial, areal and humanenvironment relations. Learning geography means combining disciplinary approaches with knowledge and skills: the curriculum. The article concludes by recognising the ways in which education, geography, curriculum and pedagogy are intimately connected.
