- 2. INTRODUCTION: CORRELATION • Education is a co-ordinate process and the major aim of education is the ‘unification of knowledge’ existing in the different branches of learning. • Teaching of various subjects is hence correlated. • A conscious effort is made to integrate various subjects to treat the subject as a synthetic whole.
- 3. GEOGRAPHY: DEFINING THE DISCIPLINE • What is Geography? • What topics do Geography study? • What makes Geography different from other disciplines?
- 4. GEOGRAPHY: DEFINING THE DISCIPLINE • Geographya(Greek origins) * Geo(earth)+ graphein(to describe or write). * To write or describe the surface of the earth. • The study of the spatial arrangement and association among elements on and/or in contact with the earth’s surface. • Explaining the “big picture”.
- 5. GEOGRAPHY: DEFINING THE DISCIPLINE • Three defining questions….. * What is located where? * Why are things located where they are? * What is the significance?
- 6. MODERN GEOGRAPHY: TRADITIONS • Spatial distributions of physical and cultural features. • Relationship between people and the environment. • Existence and evolution of regions. • Physical characteristics of the earth.
- 7. GEOGRAPHY: DEFINING THE DISCIPLINE • Linkage with the physical sciences and social science. • Interdisciplinary. • Variation across space. • Degree of human impact assessment.
- 8. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY • Study of the relationship of human beings and other activities (past or present) to the surrounding environment and the consequences of these interactions. • Focuses more on….. * The cultural characteristics of the place * The processes that influence or shape that place. * The interconnectedness of those places.
- 9. THE GEOGRAPHY PERSPECTIVE • Understanding the ways in which humankind perceives and interacts with the Earth’s surface, its resources, and its people. • Geography lies at the intersection of both social and physical sciences. • Explain the processes that give rise to spatial distributions – it’s not all about maps!. • Geographic landscapes are social creation.
- 10. MATHEMATICS AND GEOGRAPHY • From the globe to the map. • Distances on the earth and distances on • maps: what the scale is, why and how one has to preserve the proportion. • Two various method of mapping the earth: What happens to the distances? Mapping to globe versus mapping to plane maps. • Formation of days and nights. • Lunar and solar eclipse. • Latitude Longitude. • Height above sea level. • Calculation of international, local, standard time. • Maximum and minimum temperature. • Barometric pressure • Surveying instruments in mathematics have to be mathematically accurate.
- 11. HISTORY WITH OTHER SUBJECTS • With geography. • Why could Aurangzeb not hold South India. • Man’s evolution cannot be told without discussing the varied geographical settings of the world. • Growth of England due to its geographical conditions. • History of hostility between France and Germany can be explained on the basis of the existence of river Rhine and Lorrain Coal-fields.
- 12. LANGUAGE AND GEOGRAPHY • Geographical features have been source of inspiration to innumerable poets, EG. Wordswoth’s Daffodil. • Include excusions to study environment and students would get an inspiration to write poems, on changing seasons, scenic beauty etc. • My ideal destination: Have such topics for students to study and write about. • Read books on travel.
