  • Deconstructing the hidden imbalances in geography teacher education

    Open AccessMichaela Spurná, Peter KnechtARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…2026

    With geography teacher educators (GTE) research still scarce, we introduce the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio as analytical tools for examining the balance of initial teacher education (ITE) for future geography teachers. Drawing on 46 in-depth interviews with GTE from nine university departments in Czechia, we investigate how they perceive ITE’s current curriculum structure and its ideal form. A novel research instrument, based on Fibon…

  • Geographical concepts chessboard

    Michaela Spurná, Peter Knecht et al.ARTICLEGeography2025

    The development of geographical thinking is complicated by the fragmentation of its definitions and the absence of a clear, guiding framework that enables its wider implementation in classroom practice. This study examines the implementation of geographical thinking in initial teacher education (ITE). Geographical thinking promotes a deeper understanding of complex issues in the contemporary world and the development of higher intellectual abilit…

  • Studying Geography Teaching

    Open AccessMichaela Spurná, Peter Knecht et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2024Referencias: 64

    This article represents a new focus on how we can make student teachers' images more explicit and voiced in teacher training in geography. The expectations and values of the generations of students entering teacher education constantly change, and undergraduate curricula and faculty must respond accordingly. This article addresses this need by exploring the educational needs, concerns, and beliefs regarding geography teaching of newly admitted un…

  • Czech secondary pre-service teachers’ conceptions of geography

    Peter Knecht, Michaela Spurná et al.ARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…2020Referencias: 4

    The status of geography as a separate school subject in Czechia is being increasingly questioned as pupils’ interest in it is declining. Pre-service teachers (i.e. teacher trainees at universities) are key players in recontextualizing geography education in the future. Therefore, understanding pre-service teachers’ conceptions of geography and its teaching are crucial. This article reports on the results of a survey of Czech secondary pre-service…

  • Ise sankei mandara and the Image of the Pure Land

    Open AccessPeter KnechtARTICLEJapanese Journal of Religious…2006

    The Ise sankei mandara appears to have been used as a guide to the Ise shrines. While a superficial analysis of its main features shows that the mandala is a fairly accurate visual representation of the sacred precincts, its meaning is much more extensive. The natural features of the Ise sanctuaries emerge as the physical representation of a non-physical world, for at certain points the spiritual can be intensely experienced in the environment. T…

  • Gods and Goblins

    Peter Knecht, Meher McArthurARTICLEAsian Folklore Studies2000

    The unknown painters of the small town of Otsu, Japan, created a painting genre versatile enough to survive for more than three centuries and appealing enough to enter into literature, theater, dance, song, and the work of mainstream artists. Gods and Goblins presents Otsu-e as a tradition that has continually reinvented itself in response to social changes and is still alive today.In the early 17th century artists in Otsu began producing inexpen…

  • The crux of the cross

    Open AccessPeter KnechtARTICLEJapanese Journal of Religious…1995

    This article discusses the cross as a central symbol in the two sects of Mahikari-Siikyo Mahikari and Sekai Mahikari Bunmei Kyodan. An analysis of the use of this symbol leads to a discussion of other aspects of Mahikari's cosmology, particularly its emphasis on Japan's role in the plan of salvation. Okada K6tama, recognized as founder by both groups, offers an explanation of the faith based on the special significance of certain sounds and numbe…
