Geography Undergraduates into Teaching: A Five Year Experiment
School geography teaching has been a less popular career option for graduates recently. This paper reports on a programme designed to put undergraduate geographers into secondary schools to observe teachers and assist in teaching, with a view to encouraging them to consider secondary school teaching as a career. The organization and syllabus of the programme are described and a tentative evaluation offered using students' reflective accounts draw…
None of Us Sets Out To Hurt People’: The Ethical Geographer and Geography Curricula in Higher Education
This paper examines ethics in learning and teaching geography in higher education. It proposes a pathway towards curriculum and pedagogy that better incorporates ethics in university geography education. By focusing on the central but problematic relationships between (i) teaching and learning on the one hand and research on the other, and (ii) ethics and geography curricula, the authors' reflections illustrate how ethics may be better recognized…

Learning styles among geography undergraduates: An international comparison
Growing diversity is focusing attention on the range of different student learning styles. This study assesses whether geographers have a predominant learning style and whether this varies between and within countries. The findings are based on over 900 geography students from 12 universities in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, who completed Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI). The implications for curriculum design and student learni…
Undergraduate geographers' understandings of geography, learning and teaching: A phenomenographic study
This paper uses phenomenography to identify undergraduates' conceptions of teaching, learning and geography and examine whether there are any differences between students in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The paper shows that there are several distinct conceptions of teaching, learning and geography. Teaching is seen as either information transfer or as helping learning. The study finds that geography students h…

Barriers to Interdisciplinarity: Disciplinary discourses and student learning
Interdisciplinary study is hard to achieve and to sustain. Students are faced with major challenges in working in and across several disciplines. These difficulties reflect both contrasting disciplinary cognitive structures and the distinctive cultures that have emerged in different disciplines. This paper draws on the work of Kolb and others to clarify some of these problems and to suggest ways of helping students to become more self-aware as le…
Society, nature and place: A final‐year core course in contemporary philosophical debates in geography
This paper outlines some of the issues in curriculum and in teaching method for a final year core course in the philosophies of contemporary geography. In particular, the use of tutorless groups as a way of coping with large numbers of students and to encourage students in deep learning is discussed

Problem‐based learning and fieldwork: A better method of preparation
This paper suggests that geographers could profitably employ problem‐based learning (PBL) in the preparation of students for fieldclasses. Following a brief review of recent issues and contributions to teaching and learning on fieldclasses, the paper examines the characteristics of PBL and its application in other disciplines, especially medicine. It is argued that PBL encourages active and deep learning in students and can readily be applied to …

Control and independence strayegies for large geography classes
A variety of innovations from UK institutions are described that tackle the problems of larger geography classes and more students. Each is set out according to a common format. The introduction sets these UK innovations in the particular context of developments in North American higher education and in the wider context of control and independence strategies for dealing with higher student: staff ratios
