This paper draws on 'views and visions' responses collected at the time of the Land Use-UK project in 1996. Surveyors were groups of school children with contributions in more remote locations from adults. As well as mapping the landscape participants were asked about their hopes and visions for the grid squares surveyed. One kilometre squares were identified by stratified random sampling techniques from the Ordnance Survey National Grid. The res…

Views and Visions of Land Use in the United Kingdom
As part of a national study aimed at surveying the land use and landscape of the United Kingdom, 1287 surveyors recorded their views and visions of one-kilometre grid squares in which they conducted fieldwork. This study, which took place in 1996, has links to previous national land-use surveys by L. Dudley Stamp (1950) and Alice Coleman (1976, 1977). Of the total sample, 1037 reports are from the observations of school children. Their views rela…

Geography in the National Curriculum of England and Wales
The development of the 5-16 National Curriculum for England and Wales, 1987-95, is described with particular reference to the position of geography. An original formulation for geography was altered by an incoming Minister; general concerns about the curriculum led to a subsequent overall review led by Sir Ron Dearing. The benefits and disadvantages of the Revised National Curriculum are considered for geography; the Dearing revision which exclud…

A S THE 1990s BEGIN, projections of employment prospects are taking a gloomier tone. It is now estimated by several authoritative sources that jobs will be more difficult to find over the next five years for qualified and unqualified alike. Many who study Geography at school, college, polytechnic and university do so for its own intrinsic interest and enjoyment, but inevitably a consideration of future employment prospects becomes a factor for so…

Introduction
Maps of the intellectual landscape are always awkward affairs. The boundaries between different subjects are not entirely contingent — reasons can always be found for the fences to run this way rather than that — but neither do they seem to correspond to any clearly defined, ‘natural’ divisions. And, as we know, maps are instruments of power: even (especially) maps of an intellectual landscape
British School Geography in the 1980s
Only a view of extreme pessimism or arrogance discounts the knowledge already acquired by those who enter the study of geography in higher education. The changes which occur in the teaching of school geography should be of considerable interest to those who teach geographical and related studies in higher education. This paper outlines and assesses the significance of the major changes which have occurred in geography teaching in schools in Engla…
Geography games and simulations
Simulation is becoming increasingly popular in teaching in higher education. Dissatisfaction with traditional teaching techniques such as the lecture, the need to understand processes and to teach problem‐solving skills are some of the reasons for this. The roots of simulation are in war‐gaming, in management and business studies, and in psychologists' approaches to 'experiential learning'. Simulation in geography developed in the late 1960s. The…
