JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe 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.View full abstractDownload PDF (1271K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper aims to categorize geographical thinking and identify its properties through an experiment. Depending on the epistemology of humanistic geographers concerning mental representation of a landscape, geographical thinking is a process to change a landscape as a space, where the thinking subject doesn’t have any meaningful relationship, to a landscape as a place, where the thinking subject has created a meaningful relationship. For the experiment, geographers were chosen as subjects because they have a variety of geographical knowledge and carry out various geographical thinking using that knowledge. Also in order to reveal the thinking processes of the subjects, the Think Aloud Method was used. In the method, subjects are instructed to verbalize everything coming into their minds as they work on a task and, in turn, their verbal protocols are gathered and analyzed. From the analysis of the results of the experiment, geographical thinking can be divided into two categories. Category 1 is based on scientific, objective geographical knowledge and rational cause and effect relationship of geography. Category 2 is based on private geographical knowledge driven by individual preference. The properties of the two categories differ further in that Category 1 is composed of intended and unintended parts, while Category 2 plays a role of a cognitive strategy to facilitate Category 1.View full abstractDownload PDF (1362K)
