Primary Geography  and  ‘ Core Knowledge’ Some thoughts and examples
What do we mean by  'core knowledge' Geographical information is a vast well of facts and figures, as well as place names and the earth's features. In itself, this information may not be thought of as  knowledge  – even if it is 'learned' by rote – but selections of these facts may become enabling knowledge when they become meaningful or relevant.  To be fluent with selections of meaningful geographical information is to have geographical 'core knowledge'. http://www.geography.org.uk/download/GA_GIGCCCoreKnowledgeGuidance.pdf
What is the place of such  'core knowledge ' in  geography teaching  and  learning ? ,[object Object],[object Object],1.e. The teaching of core geographical knowledge underpins children’s learning about the world Locational (local – global) world knowledge and geographical vocabulary is taught in  effective learning contexts ; pupils are taught appropriate geographical vocabulary and knowledge about geographical features. This forms  part  of the repertoire of careful teaching.  Gold criteria PGQM
