The new school geography : a critique

Auteur :
HARPER, R.

Description :
The A. criticizes the content of the geography that has gained favor in many American states since the 1970s, supported by the National Geographic Society and endorsed by the National Council for Geographic Education. The A. predicts that geography will not survive as a school subject unless it is recast toward understanding the real world in wich people live, rather than around abstract concepts. Four published responses to this article were included in vol. 89, no 2 (1990), pp. 84-87 of the same journal, and two more in vol. 89, no 3 (1990), pp. 134-136. - (DWG)
