Abstract The voice and perspective of early career scholars are particularly important in geography education, a subfield that has traditionally been small and is rapidly becoming smaller due to the retirements of prominent scholars. This research surveys and discusses these early career scholars’ vision for the future of geography education, in light of a rapidly changing context for geography and education alike. We categorize respondents’ research agendas and aspirations into three progress variables and then ultimately discuss pathways for the future, including challenges and research opportunities.

Abstract In initial teacher education (ITE), preservice teachers acquire declarative knowledge in different knowledge domains: general pedagogy, content, and pedagogical content. To investigate how they use this knowledge in a school-related situation, n = 56 preservice teachers were asked to evaluate a peer's fictitious lesson plan. Their comments were subjected to content analysis and frequency analysis, which identified three distinct clusters reflecting different thought patterns. Participants referred predominantly to pedagogical knowledge, as well as some pedagogical content knowledge; exclusively content-focused comments were rare.

Abstract The aim of the presented study is to evaluate the influence of the quality of visuals in printed geography textbooks on the character of children’s conceptions using the example of the geographical location concept. Visuals are a graphical representation of a certain phenomenon. A two-tier diagnostic test without and with three types of high and low quality physical-geographical visuals was used to achieve this objective. The research study among elementary school students (n = 434) has shown that students are mostly unable to work effectively with visuals due to their inappropriate properties such as headline quality or factual errors.

Abstract The effectiveness of interdisciplinary sustainability curriculum remains understudied in geography education. Accordingly, we deployed and evaluated an interdisciplinary sustainability and STEM module for in-person and online sections of a fall 2018 Human Geography course. Results indicate that sustainability knowledge improved after the interdisciplinary curricular intervention irrespective of course modality. Another focus is to explore student reactions to teaching modality due to COVID-19 disruptions. Results indicate that online student sustainability knowledge also improved during COVID-19 (fall 2020). For students in a section converted from in-person to blended, sustainability knowledge did not improve. Implications are provided.

Abstract The recent round of curriculum reform in China has proposed the educational goal of developing key competencies. This study examined how key competencies are integrated into geography textbooks for middle schools through pre-designed activities. The results showed that the textbooks emphasized the regional awareness competency. The activities in these geography textbooks promoted key competencies differently across the school years, and each competency showed a different type of learning progress over time.

Abstract The interactions of climate change and soils (ICCS) are scarcely examined in Climate Change Education (CCE). Analyzing the pre-conceptions of secondary school students (n = 421) reveals a high number of missing answers (48.2%), while residual participants responded with either medium (33.3%) or low (11.5%) complexity levels. The natural and the human sphere are scarcely interconnected and mentioned positive feedback effects indicate students’ spatial distance to the ICCS that occur in Alpine regions. In order to bridge these gaps with more elaborated and regional concepts, a careful consideration of ICCS content is urgently recommended for CCE.

Abstract Experiential education partnered with guided reflection is thought to support students with higher-order thinking skills. In this study, 44 reflections from two university-level sustainability courses were compared. In both courses students were asked to write a reflection, but only one course used the Reflective Learning Framework (RLF). Tests of interrater reliability support the consistency of the RLF when used by trained raters. Furthermore, comparison of means using t-tests shows significant differences between mean ratings for the two courses. This provides evidence of the effectiveness of the RLF for students to apply and demonstrate the use of higher-order thinking skills.

Working individually and together, this married couple’s boundless commitment and steady leadership have shaped many institutions and enriched the educational and professional lives of community college, undergraduate, and graduate students; pre-service and K-12 teachers; and women in geography. They have also generously befriended, advised and mentored many of the NCGE’s members and leaders.
