Environmental Education: The Geography Teacher'S Contribution

Abstract Environmental education is best achieved through the established disciplines among which geography has a major role to play. Both pattern and process are incorporated in the spatial concepts used by geographers to aid understanding of the environment. Recent emphasis upon cognitive/behavioural approaches has enhanced geography's claim to provide effective environmental education. Implications for curricula are contained in the concepts, models and content of contemporary geography which possesses a wealth of potential relevance if applied through wise selection of strategies and materials. Both the cognitive and affective domains must be involved in geographical learning about and for environment which should be regarded as a means of education rather than as a means of producing geographers.

Putting the "Economic" into Economic Geography

O_ NE of the paradoxes of contemporary geography is the disparity between the number of substantive contributions to economic geography and the conceptual progress of this branch. Anglo-Saxon geographers favor individuality rather than scholastic conformity, so that methodological aspects have tended to be overshadowed by the volume of case studies. True, a simple methodology can be traced in these studies, as shown in the progress from the physical elements of environment to social and economic features and, finally, to areal synthesis. This has both supported and, in turn, has been aided by, the importance of the region in geographical literature. It has become evident, however, that without a greater sophistication than is current, this methodology fails to meet the needs of economic The satisfaction of these needs-greater rigor in defining concepts, precision in ineasurement, and applicability of conclusions-may eventually lead to those elusive principles of economic geography.
