Effective teaching strategies in teaching geography (Case study: 10th-grade human)

Teaching geography helps students improve their ability to understand spatial, cultural, and social concepts of the surrounding world. Effective strategies that teachers can use in teaching 10th-grade human geography were examined. Based on the investigations, six effective strategies are suggested for 10 lessons of 10th-grade geography. The first strategy to be considered is the use of the project method, which strengthens teamwork and is closely related to real and observable issues in students' lives. The second strategy under consideration is the use of educational technologies. By utilizing technology-based educational tools and resources such as software, videos, interactive maps, and educational sites, teachers can increase interest and interaction in the geography education process. These technologies can be used as complementary tools to reinforce knowledge and understanding of geographical concepts. The third strategy is the exploration and problem-solving strategy; in this way, students can easily connect geographical concepts with environmental realities. This method helps students understand the concepts more deeply and see their connection with the real world. The fourth strategy involves current events, allowing students to learn about different styles of information. The fifth strategy is a field study, where learners directly engage in field activities to achieve learning goals.
