GeoCapabilities Approach to Climate Change Education: Developing an Epistemic Model for Geographical Thinking
Yujing He; Sirpa Tani; Mikko Puustinen
Journal of Geography, v123 n2-3 p23-31 2024
Multiple perspectives on geographical thinking are lacking in the teaching of climate change in school geography. This study establishes an epistemic model through a co-construction design to support geography teachers' curriculum making with respect to climate change. We developed the preliminary model with four main geographical perspectives, including natural scientific, humanistic, social scientific, and posthuman perspectives, by drawing on studies in academic geography. Based on interviews with nine geography education researchers who have been involved in the GeoCapabilities project, we examined the educational potentials of multiple geographical perspectives in developing student's capabilities to react to climate change.
