Kontrowersje wokół dydaktyki geografii

Abstract

The multiplicity of opinions, discussions and disputes conducted around and within geography didactics encourages it being viewed as theoretically uncertain and focused on fulfilment of educational practices. In this text I intend to embed these controversies in the framework of disciplines underlying it: geography (in the classical and “modern” understanding), pedagogy (in the traditional and progressive perspectives) and psychology (with the orientations applied in education: practical and interpretative), with a view to showing that perceiving geography didactics essentially through the prism of teaching methods of a school subject means confining it within boundaries of stereotypes and departs from the current and potential directions of development. Whilst exposure of its interdisciplinarity leads to discursive construction of geography didactics being opened, taking into account also ongoing cultural, social and economic changes. Taking them into consideration renders didactics adequate to contemporary reality and thus capable of (a) interesting pupils in geography, (b) responding to their intellectual needs and possibilities.
