Thinking Geographically

This book explains how the concepts of geography can teach young people to think geographically, deeply and ethically.
Thinking Geographically demonstrates how the concepts of place, space, environment, interconnection, scale and time teach students new ways of perceiving and understanding the world, and develop their higher order and critical thinking, while the concepts of sustainability and wellbeing show them how to evaluate and reflect on what they observe. To further support teachers, the book includes a chapter on how to teach for conceptual understanding, as well as two chapters that illustrate the application of geographical thinking to an understanding of the effects of land cover change and the problem of regional inequality.
Rich with visual and practical examples, this book is an essential resource for geography teachers, whether already teaching or studying to become one, and for those who teach therm.
