Fieldwork and Regional Geography Learning

Cultivating geographical perspectives in geographical inquiry for K-12

Abstract

This report examines the relationship between fieldwork, for which various issues have been pointed out in school geography education to date, and regional geography learning, for which various methods have been questioned. The report offers new proposals based on the perspective of cultivating a geographical perspective in geographical inquiry for K-12, and of discussing the agency and well-being of geography learners.

As a result, it was thought that the geographical concepts that form the basis of each stage of geographical inquiry and geographical perspectives could be related to a learning logic that is common to fieldwork and regional geography learning.
