A földrajztanárok által alkalmazott módszerek egy online vizsgálat tükrében

Abstract

In our dynamically evolving globalised world we must keep up with the changes in the education sector. Due to this development, social and cognitive changes have started, which motivates educators for methodological renewal. The intensity of implementation of this renewal may differ from school to school based on school type, the students’ grade and also the type of the settlement. It is important to have an overview of the methodology used by Geography teachers, from which we can gain an insight into the influential role of these factors. Several studies have shown that the more years teachers spend in public education, the less they deviate from their own methods and regular teaching habits(Kojanitz, 2019). In the present survey – which undertook to crawl the methodological tools of colleagues teaching Geography – an online questionnaire was used in order to reach teachers in several levels of settlement hierarchy, schooltype and ensure countrywide territorial coverage. In addition to the methodology-related questions, the survey was aimed at receiving a description of an ideal teacher, and it also included the exploration of the most common problems regarding the teaching of Geography and a section on the efficiency and actual implementation of digital education. By analysing the answers given in the questionnaire, it is possible to draw a general picture of the methods and technical devices in everyday Geography teaching in Hungary. Moreover, the results can be used to solve the currently encountered problems, which can be carried out by the reform of teacher training and further training.
