Abstract

Gyula Kormány, professor of geography, was born on May 9, 1932 in Ibrány. After graduating as a secondary school geography teacher from the University of Szeged (1961), he obtained a degree in pedagogy from the Kossuth Lajos University of Debrecen in 1965. His landscape research activity began in the 1950s and included the examination of the natural features of Rétköz (a microregion in the Great Hungarian Plain). As a result of many years of research, he was the first in Hungary to summarize the conditions, possibilities, variants and methods of applying independent student work in geography education. He also wrote his candidate thesis, titled “The Possibilities and Effectiveness of Independent Student Work”. He worked as a lecturer at Nyíregyházi College from 1963 until his retirement. In April 2005, the Council of Nyíregyháza College awarded him with the title “Professor Emeritus” in recognition of his educational and scientific work.
