Geography Learning: Teacher Understanding About Advance Materials

Abstract

Geography learning is learning that implements the subject matter with more contextual and interesting real-case examples. So geography educators are required to be prepared to manage to learn pedagogically and contextually. This can be achieved by efforts to improve the abilities of geography educators based on advanced materials. This research was conducted to determine teachers’ understanding of advanced material in geography learning using a case study approach in SMA/MA throughout Polongbangkeng Utara District, Takalar Regency. The results showed that the dominant understanding of advanced material was in the fairly good category (46.88%). Geography teachers must get used to conducting scientific discussions to improve interpersonal intelligence which in turn will have a positive effect on improving the quality of learning according to what is needed by student.
