Performance and Retention on a Map of Fifty African Countries
Burson, Thomas L., Jr.
Journal of Social Studies Research, 1, 2, 70-8, Sum 77
Three methods of teaching place knowledge were examined with high school geography students. Using a traditional textbook map, an outline map with spelling of place names not memorized, and an outline map with spelling of place names memorized, it was found that none of the treatments were satisfactory in helping students to learn maps. For journal availability, see SO 505 690. (Author/JR)
