Issues in Geography Teaching (Paperback, New)

Issues in Geography Teaching examines a wide range of issues which are of interest to those teaching geography from the early years through to higher education.
The issues discussed include:
*the role of research and the use of ICT in teacher training;
*the significance of developing critical thinking skills;
*broader educational issues such as citizenship and development;
*the importance of environmental education;
*the position and role of assessment;
*the present state and status of geographical education and issues that are likely to be of concern in the future.
At a time of great change in geographical education, it is vital that practitioners should develop their own awareness and perspective on a variety of curriculum concerns and developments and evaluate how these might impact their work. Issues in Geography Teaching details the contexts, presents the facts and raises thought-provoking questions which should stimulate further interest and discussion.
