Progress in geography

Auteur :
HOPKIN, J.

Description :
The idea of education is an idea of progress, an investment in the future of young people and community. In geography a different concept of progress is often used to help justify the place in the curriculum. School geography also has something to say about progress in its focus on change in the natural and human environment. The article focuses on geographical knowledge, linking it with a defence of geography the subject, before arguing for raising standards through fresh thinking about the knowledge component of school geography.
