Extractions: About Geography for Life Geography for Life: The Geography National Standards 1994 present what each American student should know and be able to do in geography by grades 4, 8, and 12. The eighteen standards are organized under six "essential elements." They represent the essentials and fundamental ideas of geography. The outcome of Geography for Life is a geographically informed person who sees meaning in the arrangement of things across the Earth's surface; who appreciates the relationships between people, places, and environments; who uses geographic skills; and who applies geographic perspectives to life situations. The World in Spatial Terms Geography studies the relationships between people, places and environments by mapping information about them into a spatial context.

Extractions: Old Domnion University pdf On With The Applications! The educational reform movement that began in the 1980s, and was quick to have an impact on geography, has resulted in a consensus on geography's contribution to the precollegiate curriculum. The basic concepts of geography are presented as Five Themes; the basic content of geography as Eighteen Standards; and the basic method of geography as Five Skills. Now that the theoretical work has been done... on with the applications! But as educators we must understand that not all of the applications are at the precollegiate level. Thus college and university geography programs are confronted with a challenge: how to influence teacher certification programs at their institutions to insure that future geography teachers have some geography to teach. Certainly, collegiate geography's role in training teachers is not a new one, but it is a role that needs to be reassessed in light of the standards presented in Geography for Life . What do the standards say about how future teachers should be educated? The following is a collaborative exercise for departments of geography and education to re-evaluate geography's role in certification requirements.

http://www2.soc.hawaii.edu/css/geog/

Extractions: DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY Geography is an integrative discipline that strives to link three overlapping domains - the environmental, the human and the technological, to understand humans as inhabitants and transformers of the earth. It has roots in both the physical and the social sciences. An overriding spatial perspective is reflected in such integrative concepts as place, region, landscapes and seascapes, human and physical systems. The search for such understanding involves a thorough study of (a) interlocking systems of the natural environment (climate, landforms, oceans, biota); (b) the social use (and abuse) of natural resources; (c) the diverse historical, cultural, social, economic, and political structures and processes which affect the spatial organization of population groups and their activities; and (d) areas of the earth's surface at various scales-cities, regions, nations, states or landscapes where integrated interpretation of cultural, economic and political processes can be attempted. Faculty interests and strengths of the University and the East West Center provide advantages for study of the following general topics: natural systems nature and society population, urbanization and regional development

http://www.iisgcp.org/EXOTICSP/education.htm

Extractions: The subject matter is organized into two levels. At the first level, geography is divided into six essential elements. By essential we mean necessary; we must look at the world in this way. By element, we mean a building block for the whole. At the second level, each essential element contains a number of geography standards, each of which contains a set of related ideas and approaches to the subject matter of geography. There are 18 standards. Because we cannot discuss all of them here, lets pick one essential element, the World in Spatial Terms, and look at one standard to get a sense of what the content of geography looks like when it is converted to standards language. The World in Spatial Terms is the beginning of geography; if we study the relationships between people, places, and environments, then we must do so by mapping information about them into a spatial context. And so the first standard, the first of three in this element, is how to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. Broad, yes, but deliberately so.

Extractions: Research Departmental Research Interests Geography is an integrative discipline, dedicated to understanding spatial and environmental relations in human and natural systems. Although British Columbia's diverse physical and human landscapes provide a laboratory for most of our research endeavours, the Department's research interests are also national and international in scope and cover a broad spectrum of theoretical and applied issues. The research strengths of the Department lie in Human Geography, Physical Geography, and Spatial Information Systems (SIS). In the field of Human Geography, economic geographers are examining questions related to forestry, food production, the role of tourism in regional development, multinational corporations and regional development, and theories and strategies of Third World development. Cultural and social geographers are studying refugee policy, regional expressions of culture, health and society, as well as broader issues related to the nature and scope of geography. Urban geographers are exploring suburban dynamics, gentrification and urban sustainability. Physical Geography research includes theoretical and applied work in biogeography, climatology, geomorphology, hydrology and pedology. Some areas of special interest are: energy and water cycles in natural and human-created environments, hydrology of high latitude ecosystems, fluvial dynamics, Quaternary sedimentation and biogeochemical analysis. This research is supported by the Department's array of field and laboratory equipment.

Extractions: Physical Geography focuses on earth surface processes, environmental change and on environmental management. You will study some of these topics in depth in order to understand the reasons for spatial and temporal variations in their occurrence and intensity. Practical work in physical geography and techniques of investigation is included. Physical Geography is always studied as a joint honours degree with another subject chosen from the Oxford Brookes Modular Programme. The combination with Geography is popular - studied together, the two subjects constitute the equivalent of a single honours geography course. Combinations with subjects in Physical, Environmental and Social Sciences are also effective. Top of Page the course You will study the physical processes shaping the environment, at or near the earth's surface, as well as their management, in the core modules. Topics covered include environmental management, approaches to research and investigation in physical geography, and aspects of the scientific conception of nature. You will be able to choose from a range of optional modules, including geomorphology, climatology, hydrology, soils and oceanography, together with modules embracing broader issues such as hazard management, GIS and Gaia theory.

It specifies what students in American schools should learn and be able to do with regard to geography. There are six essential elements of geography into which 18 standards are grouped. ELEMENT 1: THE WORLD IN SPATIAL TERMS Maps, photographs, and satellite images are principal tools for investigating the relationships between people, places, and environments. When information is shown using those tools, it is in a spatial context. The spatial context for geography is the Earth. The geographically informed person knows and understands: (Standard 1) How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. (Standard 2) How to use mental maps to organize information about people, places, and environments in a spatial context. (Standard 3) How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on Earth's surface.
