Abstract

While a clear rationale for the need to decolonise school geography curricula has been proposed, there are few examples of what this looks like in practice. Drawing on our professional practice in both a secondary school and a university setting, we outline two case studies of decolonising the curriculum that centre on promoting student agency. The first is a Year 7 geography unit of work, and the second is a walking tour of London for an initial teacher education programme for secondary school geography teachers. Through these case studies, we argue for the importance of encouraging students to think about geographical relations with other places, and build on studies which foreground the importance of place as a pedagogic device through which the aims of decolonisation can be furthered.
中学和初级教师教育中非殖民化地理课程的方法
虽然已经提出了学校地理课程非殖民化的明确理由,但在实践中很少有这样的例子。根据我们在中学和大学的专业实践,我们概述了两个以促进学生代理为中心的课程非殖民化的案例研究。第一个是七年级的地理单元,第二个是步行游览伦敦,为中学地理教师提供初级教师教育课程。通过这些案例研究,我们认为鼓励学生思考与其他地方的地理关系的重要性,并在研究的基础上,强调地方作为一种教育手段的重要性,通过这种手段可以进一步实现非殖民化的目标。

期刊介绍: London Review of Education (LRE), an international peer-reviewed journal, aims to promote and disseminate high-quality analyses of important issues in contemporary education. As well as matters of public goals and policies, these issues include those of pedagogy, curriculum, organisation, resources, and institutional effectiveness. LRE wishes to report on these issues at all levels and in all types of education, and in national and transnational contexts. LRE wishes to show linkages between research and educational policy and practice, and to show how educational policy and practice are connected to other areas of social and economic policy.
