The Social-Constructivist Concept of Space in a German Geography Education Context: Status-quo and Potential
The present paper attempts to reason that social-constructivist spatial theory represents an essential approach for contemporary geography teaching. This approach is essential to show learners how space contributes to the organization of society. By contrast, German geography didactics and teaching practice, which are examined closely here by means of a content analysis based on curricula, textbooks, and classroom material, show that social-constructivist approaches are underrepresented and limited to a light-weight version of space as construct. This contribution concludes with a plea to grant the concept of space as a social construct with greater central significance and potential in teaching practice.
期刊介绍:
RIGEO aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in geography education and social studies education. It is open for rigorous research papers as well as all level teachers’ experience about good practice for geography lessons and discussion papers. RIGEO would like to lie both in theory or on research papers and practice of geography teachers’ in geography education and in addition to social studies education. RIGEO is eager to publish original papers in all aspects of geography education and social studies education.
