Global Dimension - Learning activities
The main aim here is to show how the geography key stage 3 programme of study can be transformed. This is done through the use of eight global dimension concepts (developed by the DfES) which help to encourage ‘thinking geographically’:
|
- Citizenship
- Interdependence
- Social justice
- Sustainable development
- Conflict resolution
- Values and perceptions
- Diversity
- Human rights
|
|
Venn diagrams
The basic Venn diagram demonstrates how planning can be done. Venn diagrams have been produced for each of the six themes - these are accessible via the appropriate page.
A teaching and learning sequence
Most of the learning activities utilise an approach developed by the GA’s GeoVisions team. The sequence used here effectively describes an ‘education for conversation’. It involves:
|
- An initial stimulus
- Mediation of geographical understanding
- Making sense of the matter
- Refining thinking
- Reflection
|
|
| The ideas for classroom practice outlined on the following pages can be adapted as required. Some sequence can be accomplished within a single lesson, while others require longer. Full versions of each of the Learning activities are shown in the book, while further resources and examples of classroom practice are made available here. |
