The purpose of this study was to construct a theoretical framework of geographical perspective and
skills in social studies education with a focus on contents and skills, which are related to practical
teaching theory. The main results are as follows:
1). By considering geographical perspective and skills in social studies education of the Japanese
national standard (junior high school level) with the related previous domestic studies and U.S national
standards, the fundamentals aspects of geographical perspective and skills in social studies education
were clarified.
2). By clarifying and making a correlation between the geographical perspective and skills in social
studies education, this study created a theoretical framework of geographical perspective and skills in
social studies education with a focus on contents and skills. This framework has an A to D system from
development of geogarphical knowledge and skills to development of (global, national, and local)
citizenship. Additionally, in the case of “Around JR Sendai Station,” this study specifically described the
manner of utilization and the points to keep in mind when designing geogarapy lessons in social
stuidies education.
3). Finally, besed on the knowledge and issues found by this study, we examined geography lesson
planning, connecting geographical perspective (i.e.; carrying out lesson management), and the essential
significance of geographical perspective and skills in social studies education.
