Excerpt from The Realistic Teaching of Geography: Its Principles in and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods Errors and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods
Few subjects are less skilfully taught in our Schools than Geography; nay, as a whole, along with History, it would not be far wrong to say that it is the worst taught of common subjects. It is usually traversed with the greatest care and even hard work, but it is made, in general, a painful process of mere memory grind, with the minimum of intelligence. AS remarked by Fitch,1 it is often most ostentatiously offered to the examiner when the teaching is weakest in intellectual training, and it is a favourite subject with mechanical teachers.
It is generally deemed easy to teach, like its abused companion, History. In reality, it is not easy - nay, it is difficult to do really well; the elements of misconception by the pupils are SO numerous and so great, and the temptations to the misuse of memory are so strong Rightly taught, there is no more valuable, informing, or fascinating study nor any one more pleasantly and highly intellectual.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of geographical education, arguing for a shift towards a more realistic teaching approach that emphasizes experiential learning and critical thinking. The author critiques the traditional, rote-based methods that dominate the subject, advocating instead for dynamic lessons that utilize tangible demonstrations and interactive discussions. The book situates its arguments within the broader historical context of educational reform, highlighting the need to move away from outdated practices that fail to engage students. It offers a wealth of practical strategies for incorporating hands-on activities, incorporating local knowledge, and using maps as tools for fostering spatial reasoning. By advocating for a holistic approach that connects geography to other disciplines, the book challenges the notion that the subject is merely a collection of facts and figures. Instead, it positions geography as a vital lens through which students can explore the complex interconnections between human societies and the natural world, fostering a deeper understanding of both. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
