THE PROBLEM METHOD IN GEOGRAPHY (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from The Problem Method in GeographyThe chief aim of the Problem Method is to teach the children to think their Geography instead of memorizing it.From time immemorial general geography has been largely descriptive and school geography has been no exception. As long as the idea persisted that geography was essentially a description of the earth and man, or the earth as the home of man, so long was it impossible that children should be taught to acquire their geography by any other means than the memory. But little by little our conceptions of geography have changed. We are now coming to see how much more there is to the subject when we make the relation between facts rather than the facts themselves the object of our study. We now study the earth and man in their relation to each other.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
