In this paper, the author tried to redefine the nature of geographic education in the background of its critical situation, and insisted on the necessity of adopting the conception of development education into geographic study to cope with the globalization which means to recognize multiculturism, interdependence and international cooperation to construct better global society.
By the way, the aim of development education is to bring up global-citizen by understanding the north-south issue structurally and searching the best way to solve it. And the feature of it is to adopt learning activity for paticipation in the society to promote student's interest in the matter for learning and to promote active teaching.
Standing on these points, the author tried to teach geography B which is titled “the north-south issue: a case study of Asian District” by adopting the conception of development education. As a result, it makes clear that adopting the conception of development education is very effective for bringing up global-citizen.
Finally, as a view in teaching geography for the future, the author thinks that it is more important to promote student's action to solve the north-south issue at the base of their consciousness as a global-citizen, and, to adopt the diversity of culture and people's life style in Asian Districts, and the problem, which a surplus development in advanced countries brought about, to enrich their recognition for developing countries.
