TEP425: Geography in the Secondary School I |
This unit focuses on the teaching of Geography in the secondary school. Syllabus documents are examined and their implications analysed. While the more 'traditional' teaching and learning strategies will be addressed, greater emphasis will be placed on strategies that are student-centred and develop the students' ability to use and apply geography's distinctive inquiry-based methodology. The application of these strategies is possible in TEP414 School Experience II. The link between the two units is considerable. At the conclusion of the unit students should be familiar with inquiry-based teaching strategies and the range of resources that can be used to enrich the teaching of geography, and be capable of developing and implementing units of work from the relevant syllabus documents.
