ebates in Geography Education encourages early career teachers, experienced teachers and teacher educators to engage with and reflect on key issues, concepts and debates. It aims to enable readers to reach their own informed judgements with deeper theoretical knowledge and understanding.

Expert contributors provide a range of perspectives on international, historical and policy contexts in order to deepen our understanding of significant debates in geography education.

Key debates include:

geography's identity as an academic discipline;
what constitutes knowledge in geography;
places and regional geography;
what it means to think geographically;
constructing the curriculum;
how we link assessment to making progress in geography;
the contribution of fieldwork and outdoor experiences;
technology and the use of Geographical Information;
school geography and employability;
understanding the gap between school and university geography;
evidence-based practice and research in geography education.
