ABSTRACT
The focus in the previous section was on curriculum planning and course design, including such issues as scope, sequence, continuity, balance and differentiation. In this section, it moves nearer to the classroom, to aspects of geography teaching and learning in the context of topics and units of work. Just as curriculum design encompasses the totality of the pupil’s experience of geography in school, so in instructional design the emphasis is on the translation of a Programme of Study into a series of teaching units made up of classroom lessons and other organized learning experiences. Instructional design is the purposeful and systematic organization of teaching and learning strategies for specific groups of learners.
