Description:
The debate about the nature of school geography in the next century needs to take place in the context of reliable research evidence on how children learn. This book seeks to inform this debate and support the development of a geography curriculum that will offer meaning and relevance to children growing up in the twenty-first century.
The book includes more than 20 contributions from leaders in their fields, offering succinct descriptions of their findings and the implications for classroom practice. It covers a range of issues, from mapwork and photo interpretation to perceptions of distant places and cultures. It is intended for college students, subject co-ordinators, headteachers, lecturers, curriculum planners and policy makers.
'Primary Sources is a short and thought provoking book. It is most directly related to teaching geography but it does have wider implications in teaching practice' - Reviewed in Interaction, September 1998
