Description
'This is a book which every geography teacher in higher education, whether new or experienced, should read.' Mick Healey, Geography Recent calls for drastic improvements in the quality of teaching in higher education have created an urgent need for texts that can put across better teaching methods to practising or intending teachers who are unfamiliar with specialist educational literature. Teaching Geography in Higher Education addresses precisely this need. Written by a team of geographers and educationalists from Britain, America and Australia, it is avowedly a manual of good teaching practice, offering practical examples and specific suggestions throughout. Covering concisely but lucidly all the various aspects of geographical higher education, the book identifies both the deficiencies of many existing teaching methods and ways in which the teaching of geography may be improved. Individual chapters consider in turn such topics as the lecture, resource-based teaching, learning through discussion, fieldwork and practicals, projects and computer-assisted teaching and learning. Later chapters discuss the broader issues of student assessment, course evaluation and curriculum design.
This topical book will appeal to a wide readership, including current and future teachers of geography at degree level and beyond; advanced level geography students; ; educationalists and all others interested in the improvement of teaching in higher education.
