Földrajztanárok földrajz kerettantervekről alkotott véleménye online kérdőíves felmérés alapján

Nowadays unfortunately the geography is underrepresented in the Hungarian education system. It is not easy to define exactly the reasons of this bad situation, but according the authors it is necessary to revise the Hungarian Geography Curriculum (HGC). The opinion of Hungarian primary and secondary school teachers were asked about the recent curriculum. More than one hundred respondent answered the questions. The respondents underlay that the HGC is thronged, and there are too much lexical knowledgebased items in it. According to most of the respondents it is needed to change them into more problem-oriented, exercise- and competence-based education standards. Based on previous studies it can be concluded, that the usefulness of the geographical knowledge is not clear for most of the geography teachers, and for the secondary school students, too. Our and previous studies show that the new curriculum should focus more attention on the connection between the real life and the geography education.
