SUMMARY:Tool to Assess Student Understanding of the Five Themes of Human Geography
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nHuman geography acquaints students with a geographic perspective on topics such as culture\, environment\, population\, migration\, political systems\, language\, religion\, ethnicity\, urban challenges\, and economic structures. The topics covered are closely connected to many events that dominate today’s news. A learning objective of Geographic education is to facilitate students in making the connection between the concepts and principles presented in the book with the actual world around them During the term\, students are assigned to research recent current events and relate that event to course material. The assessment tool is a matrix that supports student observation and analysis of current events to identify and discuss course topics and the Five Themes of Geography: Movement\, Region\, Location\, Human-Environment Interaction\, and Place. \nSession Focus\nHigher Education | Assessment | Tool | 5 Themes | Curriculum and Instruction \nConference Room\nColonnade \nMeet the Presenter\nSerena Ota St. Clair\, Ph.D.\, has been a faculty member at RCC since 1989.
