Challenging and addressing geographical misconceptions in the classroom FILLING
Wednesday April 16, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am BST
202
Geography students can sometimes struggle to derive the intended level of understanding from new content. Often, this can be due to their own misconceptions about the world. This session seeks to identify some of these misconceptions and provide strategies to address them. Attendees will also be invited to share and discuss their own examples and strategies, allowing educators to help students make stronger knowledge-based connections in their geography lessons.

Due to its interdisciplinary nature, geography provides a space where students can explore topics, issues and ideas, as well as develop as young people; this is inherently pastoral. Therefore, this session highlights some of the areas within geography where this overlap is really noticeable, and how geographers can work with their pastoral team to enhance provision.

Summary with AI support: This session explores how world-centred knowledge and question-led learning are embedded in China’s geography textbooks. Drawing on comparative studies and Shanghai’s latest curriculum, it highlights pathways from content to competencies. Through the Amazon Rainforest case study, it shows how textbooks can foster relational thinking, ethical awareness, and future-oriented geographers who learn not just facts, but ways of becoming.

Spiralling sustainability - Deepening understanding through insights from a Singapore school
Thursday April 17, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am BST
205
In this workshop, we will share how we have structured assigned tasks for students across four years to deepen their understanding of key geographical concepts progressively. A primary focus is on sustainability, a core concept in the geography curriculum in Singapore.

The tasks are designed using scenario-based learning to immerse students in real-world geographical issues. This approach enables students to bridge classroom knowledge with practical applications, fostering meaningful learning experiences.

To ensure progression, we aligned our tasks with Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, guiding students’ cognitive development at different levels:
· Lower Secondary (Sec 1–2): Emphasis on application and analysis
· Upper Secondary (Sec 3–4): Advancement to evaluation and creation

Through this deliberate and scaffolded approach, students deepen their understanding of sustainability and other key geographical concepts as they progress through their secondary education journey.

How can students move from absorbing and regurgitating facts to connecting and applying them to complex geographical concepts and issues? Using resources from OUP revision guides, you'll try out some ideas to help students make such a move, and will discuss how to apply and adapt them to your circumstances. Useful for new and experienced teachers alike.
