High School Classwork to Develop Competency in Geography

Abstract

Since April 2022, geography has become a compulsory subject at high schools nationwide. Based on the course contents and method of evaluation, which have changed along with the place of geography in the curriculum, we considered the competencies that we would like to develop through geography. Students should be able to: 1) use maps and geographic information systems accurately and continue to use the map utilization skills acquired through learning; 2) walk set routes correctly and explain the characteristics of places based on geographic observations with accurate place names and numerical values; and 3) set themes and undertake activities to solve problems through collaborative learning.
