Mnemonics: An aid to geographical learning

Abstract

On both sides of the Atlantic, there is serious concern that children do not know where places are. Many surveys show the extent of this ignorance. The media blame the teachers. Sometimes the cause of this ignorance is alleged to be the lack of geography coursework. Sometimes, more ominously, geography teachers themselves are blamed. Sometimes it is the “wrong sort of geography” that is blamed; it is claimed that pupils learn about shops and houses and do not learn about the world.
