Introduction
Geographyis a discipline that encompasses information, concepts, and methodsfrom many fields of study. It addresses both the physical andhuman-created systems of the world through the study of people, places,and environments. As an ever-increasing world population puts more andmore demands on the planet’s resources, there is a need for a societythat is geographically literate and therefore able to make informeddecisions about the sustainability of the Earth’s resources and thefuture of the planet.
The geographically literate student isable to interpret the landscape and understand the interconnectionsbetween his or her actions and the Earth’s physical systems. Thisunderstanding is important in order for students to make informeddecisions and take appropriate action to manage the Earth’s resourcesin a responsible manner.
Through the study of geography,students can develop an understanding of how local, regional, andglobal environments affect them. The ability to make informeddecisions also requires the acquisition of relevant and practicalgeographic skills. Students need opportunities to analyse the criticalinterplay of culture, economics, politics, and social considerationswhen examining the relationship between people and the environment. Inorder to do this, students need skills in acquiring and accessingdatabases, in analysing and interpreting data, and in intelligentlyrepresenting their findings. Because geography is an integrativediscipline, these geographic skills can be applied to a wide range ofpotential careers. (Source: Ministry of Education - Geography 12 IRP)
