    location, interaction and accessibility as well as
    distribution and movements of population
    7.Anthropogeography-distribution of human

    Observation Method
    (1)to observe
    (2) To record
    (3)To interpret.
    • The technique of obtaining
    geographical information by direct
    observation is basis to the subject
    Observation Method
    (i) Globe : Globe is a useful aid.By observation,
    children can develops such concepts as
    longitude ,latitude, meridian etc.
    (ii) Charts : Charts prepared by children
    themselves or those commercially produced also
    enhance children’s observation
    (iii) Models : Children observe things and they
    can convert the results of their observation into
    models
    Observation Method
    • Outsides the class room, there are fields , crops,
    soil etc. Which also forms part of geographical
    content.
    • On the spot observation of these entities followed
    by discussion in the classes enriches children’s
    knowledge of geographical facts
    • The teacher of geography would like to make
    children study the surrounding environment ,the
    landscape and what it offers to man to make his
    living meaningful
    Observation Method
    • Field Trips : Field trips help in exploring the
    environment .Children may be taken out into the
    larger landscape to observe geographical objects,
    prepare brief notes, and collect specimens and so
    on.
    • Excursions: educate as well as entertain. Children
    learn by interacting with the environment.
    Excursions to hill stations, to geographical
    monuments help children to understand certain
    phenomena
    • Local trips of the duration of one or two
    lesson period.
    • Community or neighbourhood trips of half
    or full day’s duration,
    • Tours to different places or parts of the

    Merits of Observation method
    1. Trains the pupils to observe and reason about
    the fact they observe.
    2. By this method we interpret the unknown in
    terms of the known-the known by observation
    and experience.
    3. This method develops the habit of accurate
    thought and investigation
    4. It is based on the finding of psychology i.e.
    there is instinct of curiosity in every human
    being which prompts every human being to
    know

    Limitations of Observation Methods
    1. Observational study makes a big demand on the out-of –class
    time of teachers and the students, which the time-table of the
    school does not permit Filipino Schools
    2. This method is suitable for lower classes as the observation
    made by young children are necessarily limited
    3. Sometimes the observational study may degenerate into aimless
    wandering, wastage of much time and energy because of lack of
    understanding and direct action from the teacher
    4. To let the children observe things without proper guidance and
    the
    knowledge may not be profitable at all
    5. There must be proper guidance and the knowledge gained by
    observation must not be supplemented through methods as actual
    observation of child is always limited
    Project Method
    1.The project must be based on activity-
    mental or motor
    2.It must be purposeful in its action.
    3.Under the project, the children must
    accumulate experience-manipulative,
    concrete or mental
    4.It must provide real experience
    5.It must be useful in nature
    Project Method
    1. Making sand or clay models of different sections of the various
    river valleys
    2. Pupils may be encouraged to stage a play showing the life in
    various regions of the world
    3. A hill scene, a bridge, cultivated fields, roads and other
    important features
    4. Pupils may be asked to prepare economic and distributional of

    important and useful project of educational value.
    6. Pupils may be encouraged to read papers and organise
    excursions.
    7. Pupils may cultivate a vegetable or a fruit garden.
    The main drawbacks of
    the method are:
    1. It requires more money to be spent
    and this is very difficult to manage
    2 All schools do not have resources to
    use this method
    3. Projects are difficult to devise for all
    stages of teaching
    Discussion Method
    • emphasizes pupil-activity in the form of discussion, rather than
    simply telling and lecturing by the teacher
    • everybody participates in the discussion , and therefore thinks
    and expresses himself
    • Everybody cooperates in the discussion, and the ideas and
    opinions of everybody are respected
    • everybody is required to express his ideas and opinions in a
    clear and concise manner
    • get training in reflective thinking, which leads to deeper
    understanding of the historical problem under discussion
    • More effective learning is possible when the students discuss,
    criticise and share ideas on a particular problem
    Cooperative Learning
    • When applying cooperative learning strategies, keep
    groups small and don't overuse this strategy-be systematic
    and consistent in your approach
    Applications:
    • When grouping students, consider a variety of criteria,
    such as common experiences or interests
    • Vary group sizes and objectives
    • Design group work around the core components of
    cooperative learning-positive interdependence, group
    processing, appropriate use of social skills, face-to-face
    interaction, and individual and group accountability
    Classroom technology
    Technology is a great way to improve student
    engagement and get students excited for class, but it can
    be difficult to incorporate seamlessly into the classroom
    A virtual field trip: Use virtual reality apps to explore
    famous landmarks and natural phenomena
    Video mini-lessons: TeacherTube offers an education-
    only version of YouTube, with videos on a number of
    core subjects. This makes the learning process more
    engaging, especially for visual learners.
    Significance
    of Instructional Aids
    1. It helps the learners remember important information
    2.When properly used, they help gain and hold the
    attention of learners
    3.Audio or visual aids can be very useful in supporting a
    topic, and the combination of both audio and visual
    stimuli is particularly effective since the two most
    important senses are involved
    4. Another use for instructional aids is to clarify the
    relationships between material objects
    and concepts
