ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to provide one with some guidance about learning in and through geography in the belief that will help to do more and to promote the intellectual development of the pupils. Geography teachers need to explore ways in which work in geography can help to develop pupils speaking, listening, writing and reading skills. Teachers use different strategies to achieve different learning outcomes, to facilitate different learning styles or processes, and to respond to the variety of ways in which different pupils learn and thus one need to develop a repertoire of teaching styles and strategies. Understanding pupil's learning is one of the key challenges facing people as teachers. Understanding the nature of concepts and how conceptual learning takes place should have an important influence on curriculum planning. Spatial thinking forms a major part of graphicacy, which also includes the interpretation of photographs and other forms of graphic communication.
