About the Book

Geography in Education deals with the substantial developments which have taken place in academic geography in recent years and relates them to the needs of teachers in the school classroom. The structure of the book is based on the highly influential MA in geography education taught at the Institute of Education, University of London and is edited by four members of the Institute's geography team. Geography in Education tackles a number of pressing concerns felt by teachers in a topical and forward-looking way. The twelve essays have been specially commissioned from a range of authors who all have strong links with the Institute of Education's Geography Section. Topics range from important classroom matters such as the assessment of pupil learning to the review of recent research findings and consideration of current developments within geography as a discipline. This book is essential reading for student teachers and for teacher trainers who share the authors' belief that geography has a unique part to play in the education of future generations.
