Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquire practical skills for "geographical" description of objects and space around us with an emphasis on improving the teaching of geography. The seminar will discuss selected topics of geography and their inclusion in the teaching of high school geography in the form of visualization of spatial information (mapping, web presentations, practical teaching aids, etc.).
Student will be able to apply theoretical knowledge in practical teaching
