Discover new approaches to teaching regional geography – from working with modern tools, to creating your own model lessons that connect theory…

The MVGZ2 subject focuses on the didactic aspects of teaching regional geography of Europe, as well as North and South America in primary school. Within the subject, students acquire skills in the area of transforming professional content into a form that is understandable and meaningful for primary school students. The seminars include the creation and implementation of model lessons for selected regions. In the preparation, implementation, and evaluation of model lessons, emphasis is placed on the selection of content, formulation of objectives, and selection of appropriate teaching methods, strategies, organizational forms of teaching, and teaching aids, including digital tools. Students develop the ability to lead the teaching of regional geography in context, while connecting knowledge of physical and human geography with regional specifics. Emphasis is also placed on the development of geographical thinking within the teaching of regional geography. The lectures deal with selected phenomena that are specific to individual regions, and often present specific proposals for the didactic representation of phenomena in teaching at the second level of primary school, including the presentation of specific tasks, aids, teaching methods, and strategies.
