Presents three points of view on the notion of space as taught and perceived in elementary geography classes in France, Canada, and the United States. (DS)

A study which reflects how a class of disadvantaged, inner city high school students with poor reading ability achieved high quality academic learning in a world geography class through various reading media is discussed and summarized. (SM)

This article evaluates a project with an inquiry-based methodology in which high school students experience and attempt to solve the same type of urban problems faced by professional geographers. (SM)

Inquiry-discovery learning of processes involved in determining transportation patterns form the core of this teaching model. Promotes understanding of human behavior and geographic change and is sufficiently general for use at several teaching levels. (Author/JB)

This approach was designed to: 1) study the general societal perception of environment of people in the West through the last two thousand years; 2) consider the forces that molded characteristic thought and behavior patterns within the physical environment; and 3) develop a useful and workable methodology for studying how cultural institutions…

The Munificent Hexagon is an oral gaming-examination that generates avid participation on the part of the student and stimulates intense interaction between instructor and student. This is seen to be an important antidote to the anonymity threatening academia. The gaming examination proves useful for course evaluation and testing. (Author)

Field work is an important but often neglected facet of undergraduate geography training. Kinds of field work and field training are analyzed including selection of study areas and camp site selection. A two week field camp with deferred papers is a workable solution for undergraduate programs. (NH)

A thorough knowledge of the human environmental association is fundamental, for the man-land relationship encompasses the sum total of integrated learned behavior or culture patterns of particular societies. (Author)

A study showed that students using programed material completed their units of work faster and had a higher achievement rate than students taught conventionally. (DR)

Describes student urban geography project, focusing on environmental inequality in housing in St. Helier (Great Britain). Includes techniques used by students, evaluation of the project, project results, and implications for teaching. (JN)

Describes a self-paced field exercise which takes college geomorphology students through a step-by-step study of the origin and environment of pleistocene deposits. The exercise could also be adapted for use at the secondary level. (AM)

Many secondary-level geography courses in Great Britain have adopted a welfare focus; students explore the key differences between the developed and developing worlds. The starting point is commonly the mapping of income, diet, and health levels on a global scale. This trend and problems encountered are discussed. (RM)
