Changing the Image of Geography.
Rallis, Donald N.; Rallis, Helen
Social Studies, v86 n4 p167-68 Jul-Aug 1995
Maintains that the nature and role of geography within social studies has been a major area of debate since 1916. Asserts that geography relies too heavily on rote memorization of facts and neglects geographic thinking. Contends that geography teachers share the blame for this and must change their teaching and evaluation methods. (CFR)
