Canadian Studies: Geography. A Report for Educators.
Ontario Dept. of Education, Toronto. Program Implementation and Review Branch.
An Ontario (Canada) provincial review of geography instruction was undertaken to: (1) determine student achievement levels and program effectiveness; (2) identify implementation strategies for a compulsory course, entitled "Canadian Studies Geography"; and (3) pilot test a new review model designed to analyze intended, implemented, and attained curriculum goals. The review examined courses of study and teachers' responses about their backgrounds, qualifications, and teaching methods. Information was provided by students detailing their attitudes about geography and geography instruction, and student achievement levels were measured. The population represented a cross-section of Ontario, and the study included courses in French and English. Specific information is provided about: (1) participation rates; (2) geography curricula; (3) teachers; (4) instruction; (5) resources; (6) teaching strategies; (7) evaluation techniques; and (8) time spent on specific skills' instruction. Information concerning the review's structure and 18 statistical or test-related appendices are included, along with 16 graphs, 6 charts, and 21 tables. (JHP)
