GTIP - Theory into Practice Book Samples

This part of GTIP section provides extracts from the GA's Theory into Practice publications.

The aim of Theory into Practice is to take aspects of current research into geographical education and relate them directly to classroom practice.

A key element in the series is to encourage people involved in geographical education to reconsider their thinking about teaching and learning in geography. Theory into Practice aims to reinvigorate the debate about how to teach geography and revisits essential questions such as:
Theory into Practice cover

  • Why am I teaching this topic?
  • Why am I teaching it this way?
  • Is there a more enjoyable/challenging/interesting/successful way
    to teach it?
  • What, how and why are the students learning?
The series provides a framework both for challenging current assumptions about the nature of the subject in schools, and for answering these questions in new and well-informed ways.

The books have been written by acknowledged experts in their particular fields.

All Theory into Practice books are available to buy from the GeographyShop priced £10.99 (£7.99 for GA Members). View the full list of titles.
