      Introduction

      Thinking skills and geography

      Aim of this book

      The aim of this publication is to make more explicit the place of thinking skills in the teaching and learning of geography and sustainable development for children aged 5 to 11 years, and to demonstrate how this relates to the achievement of the aims of the school curricula in all the

      countries of the UK.

      Thinking skills underpin good primary practice in all subject areas. Promoting these skills helps to empower young children to become independent learners and to prepare them for taking up their role as well informed, constructively critical citizens. They are essential to education for sustainable development (ESD), which in the last few years has been integrated into the curricula of all UK countries in varying ways, as awareness of our global links and responsibilities has permeated our collective consciousness.

      ‘...[the school curriculum] should develop their awareness and understanding of, and respect for, the environments in which they live, and secure their commitment to sustainable development at a personal, local and global level.’

      The National Curriculum: Handbook for primary teachers in England, 2000

      The study of geography enables children to develop a range of thinking skills, particularly those needed to develop an understanding of sustainable development. Children can be encouraged to use their thinking skills to:

      study places from local to global to explore the interdependence of society, economy and the natural environment;

      study how people are influenced by, and affect environments;

      develop a sense of responsibility for personal and group action;

      develop an appreciation of the need for sustainable use and management of resources for present and future generations;

      be able to listen carefully to arguments from different viewpoints.
