Reflective practice in geography teaching - Ashley Kent

`Has been judged as likely to make a significant contribution to geography'

This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary thought and practice in teaching geography. It is designed to support continuing professional development and reflective practice in geography education by: encouraging a critical understanding of the literature and concepts; stimulating teachers to continue with personal and professional development;
and providing professionally relevant knowledge, understanding, skills and values.

Drawn from a wide range of eminent geographers and experienced practitioners, the authors cover: progress in geography - changing viewpoints; the geography curriculum - development planning and issues;
and research and geography teaching - why and how research matters.

This book is essential reading and a valuable resource, for student and practising teachers of geography at secondary school level, as well as for those responsible for continuing professional development and subject leadership.
