Abstract
The didactics of geography is living in a world of illusion. The perfect lesson plans presented in journals and the necessary articles on theory correspond less and less to what is happening in the classroom. Have we closed our eyes to reality? Pupils have changed their behaviour patterns, their interests and their attitudes towards learning. Therefore teaching geography has become more difficult. At the beginning, this article describes these changes and the root of this transformation. It then presents recommendations to improve the situation. The didactics of geography do not need to be redesigned, but new paths have to be followed, with new contents, methods and lesson procedures that are better adapted to today’s children and adolescents. Therefore a positive perspective on the changed phenomena is necessary in order to give today’s pupils the ability to cope with the future.
