이 연구는 개념 및 개념학습의 의미와 가치를 평가해 보고, 기존의 지리교육 기본 개념에 대한 논의를 정리하여 현장 교사들의 기본 개념 인식과 비교한 후, 향후의 지리교육 내용 구성의 방향을 모색해 보았다. 지리교육의 개념은 지리적 현상의 작동 과정을 이해하는데 도움을 주는 개괄적인 관념으로서 관련 지식들을 인지구조 속에 붙들어 매어주는 역할을 한다. 현장교사들이 가장 중요하다고 인식하고 있는 기본개념은 인간-자연관계, 입지, 지역, 지도화, 지역적 차이, 문화 등이며, 이는 전통지역지리학에서 강조되어 온 개념들이다. 반면에 지역적 결합, 공간 및 공간관계, 장소, 지구사회, 이동 등의 개념은 교사들이 잘 이해하지 못하고 있는 개념으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 분석과 관련하여 주의를 기울여야 할 점은 지리학과 지리교육의 기본개념을 무차별적으로 혼용해서는 안 된다는 점이다. 학문적 성과와 교육적 성과는 다른 것이며, 이에 맞춰 지리교육의 교육적 효과를 높일 수 있는 구체적인 하위개념들이 개발되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 삶의 질의 문제가 지리교육 분야에서는 어떻게 제기될수 있는지를 살펴보고, 지리교육 활동에 참여하고 있는 사람들의 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서 수행되어야 할 과제는 무엇인지를 밝힌 것이다. 지리교육분야에서 제기되는 삶의 문제란 배우고 가르치는 활동의 질과 밀접히 관련되는데, 지리를 가르치고 배우는 과정에서 투입되고 활용되는 다양한 소프트웨어와 하드웨어의 질적 개선이 없이는 지리교육 분야에서의 삶의 질을 고양되기 힘들다는 것이다. 교재와 학습 프로그램과 수업운영방법에 있어서의 질적 발전을 도모하기 위해서는 지리교육의 목표 명료화, 지리교육과정의 계열적 조직방안 개발, 지리교육의 개념과 내용체계 표준화, 자료에 근거한 사고력 기르기 학습프로그램의 개발 등의 연구가 앞으로 체계적으로 이루어져야 할 필요성이 있음을 논의하였다.

8.15광복후부터 현재까지의 지리교육은 1960년대 초기까지는 주로 중등교육이 중심이되어 각급학교의 교육과정의 개편이 지리교육의 방향을 결정하였던 것은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나 필자는 중등학교의 지리교육에 한정하지 않고 1960년대에 들어서면서 부터 각 대학에 신설된 지리학과 또는 사회생활(교육)과내의 지리전공(이후 편의상 지리과로 사용키로함)을 중심한 대학에서의 지리교육 그리고 이들 각 대학의 활동, 지리교육에 관계된 활동 및 각종 연구업적을 중심으로 개괄적으로 정리하였다. 본 논문중에 인용된 연구활동이나 업적등은 주로서 말미에 기재하였다.

In the present paper, the raison d'$\^{e}$tre of geography and geography education in the humanities are explained. Geography was not considered as ontology notion and geography was also not aware of regarding ontology. However, human being is the geographic existence. People occupy the space they live in and reveal their own existence by virtue of the space. In geography, we understand human existence by concrete things consisting of the space. Geography can explain the necessity for the space of origin where human being had lost and open a gate to find their own existence through it. Geography education can find the justification as to why we should teach it in 'now here'. We can make a bright future in geography education in terms of critical reflection at the ontological dimension. Geography and geography education have clear reason to exist in right here. That begins from the question of what relationship between human and space is and completes the raison d'$\^{e}$tre based on the answer.

This paper considers chronologically the discourse of space as one of key concepts in geography, and then argues that geography education ought to be the critical pedagogy of space. Recent social science including geography and education has more empathized the sociality and spatiality of space than the physicality of space, and argues that space is constructed socially. Thus, it has been considered that space is no longer empty container to be filled with social relationships, but is concerned with the production and reproduction of social relationships through political struggles with diverse meanings. Now, geography education has to examine the different ways which space has been conceptualized, and develop geography education as critical pedagogy of space that focuses on reading the multiple and contested nature of space.

This paper suggests to bring the idea of social construction of nature or social nature discussed in social science including geography to geographical and environmental education for breaking traditional divide of people(or society) and nature. And this paper analyzed relationship between people and nature, meaning of environment and the concepts of social nature represented in the geography curriculum and textbook of England, Australia and Korea. Recently in terms of focusing disciplines or education on integration or convergence, introduction of social nature in teaching and learning geography and environment has an important implication. With rapid growth of capitalism, nature is constructed socially by the political, economical, social and cultural practice. Thus geography education reduces the distance between human geography and physical geography and needs to focus on exploring not just the relationship between people and nature but social construction of nature. Another implication of the introduction of social nature in teaching and learning geography and environment is that students can develop the relational sensitivity about the relationship people and nature or people and place.

This paper is to explore meaning and horizon of global education and its relationship with geography. Firstly, the paper clarifies what means the term 'global' used instead of 'world' to education and geography education and the aims of global education. Then a case of UK and USA the paper follows the origin and flow of global education, and examines the characteristics of their global education. Finally, for global education and its relationship with geography education it discusses the importance and need of global education though geography, and which contribution geography can to global education as one of cross-curricula themes.

The purpose of this study is to show practices of teaching method based on the type of knowledge in geography education. The results of examining the type of knowledge according to the five themes in guidelines for geographic education in america are as follows: the empirical-analytic knowledge-centered contents are suited for designing concepts inquiry-centered teaching. The historical-hermeneutic knowledge-centered contents are suited for designing problem solving-centered teaching. The critical knowledge-centered contents are suited for designing decision-making-centered teaching. In this shsdy, 1 emphasized teaching method based on the type of knowledge in Ceographv Education according to the responses of students and academic achievement. However, in practice l propose that teachers construct their lesson plans according to their various spheres of interest.

GIS is considered as a big industry or business in the field of applied sciences. Recently GIS market in Korea is growing rapidly for LBS, Telematics, Web-geographic information services. This paper attempts to focus on the interrelationship between GIS and geography, and the question of how geography emerged out of intellectual trends within GIS to examine possible contribution of geographers in GIS fields. The application of GIS appears to be largely technical in nature. It is important for the GIS operator and the consumer of GIS products to be aware of the geographical concepts that underpin GIS operations. Also it is seen that many departments of geography in Korea have attempted to actively adopt GIS into their education program, with aim to improve the status. GIS has promoted a shift towards applied geography from academic geography. GIS researchers and educators in geography are concerned not with technology, but with the basic concepts and the issues relating to its use, in comparison with other academic fields. It is the responsibility of geography community to make sure that our students receive a geographical education that includes problem-solving, critical thinking and technical capabilities. It is concluded that promoting GIS technology in geography curriculum is essential for the further expansion of geography within GIS and also for the survival of geography.

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of ethical geography education, based on the 'relational turn' of understanding of human/non-humans and place in the context of the student's daily consumption. To do this, first and foremost, due to the de-localization of product networks that students consume, it has been discussed the situation that the ethics of responsibility and care is reduced. Then, this paper suggests an understanding of place and human/non-humans in a relational view, as a basis for the student's ability to look at matters of consumption and ethics through the viewpoint of relational ethics of responsibility and care. Finally, this research examined relation of commodity consumption, relational geographies and ethics of responsibility and care through 'mobile phone connection'. It is argued in the paper that the role of ethical geography education lies also in allowing students to feel connected to various humans/non-humans as a absent presence in his own life and to acquire cognitive and practical skills to provide more responsibility and care for their socio-ecological environment, thus making a better world.
