Teaching Primary Geography

Setting the Foundation
Langbeschreibung
This book provides an international perspective on teaching and learning geography in the primary classroom. It describes the essence of primary school geography and identifies the ¿big ideas¿, thereby offering a synthesis of the international geography curricula and classroom profiles against these big ideas. Each chapter discusses current and new research on a set topic, yet a common thread running between chapters is the assessment relevant to that particular topic. By providing a portrait of the central concepts, the essential skills and necessary inquiry processes of a primary geography education, the book will be of interest to education researchers, classroom teachers and the pre-service teacher, curriculum writers and policy writers.
