Curriculum vs Concepts - In geography there are a number of concepts I as not previously aware of (not really having done geography at school) which aren't explicitly stated in the curriculum statements. It seems to be quite a task to combine these two together!
Using Different Activities:
Using fieldwork - not something that I had really considered before!
Graphical info - really useful for Inquiry Based Learning. Can use lots of questioning
Inquiry Based Learning is becoming a really big feature in humanities!
- Interpreting questions and learning to build more concrete examples of how to present questions. Great examples in the VCE Geography Text book by GTAV.
Geographic Concepts:
- Location
- Distance
- Scale
- Region
- Distribution
- Movement
- Spatial Association
- Spatial Interection
- Spatial Change over Time
Intergrating learning:
There are so many concepts in geography that can be combined with other learning areas. eg
history - using geographic concepst to discuss history (the importance of locatin, time, etc)
design, - using geographic concepts to inform design principles eg location, scale, distribution
