Learning at Crawshaw Academy
Spiritual education in Geography inspires awe and wonder at the natural world: both at the physical and human features. It also inspires wonder of the natural environment such as rivers, mountains, hills, volcanoes and the effect of weather and climate. It also includes the effect that the environment continues to have on settlement and people's daily lives.
Moral education in Geography provides opportunities for students to recognise that development takes place within a global context and that local decisions affect and are affected by decisions and processes in other countries, e.g. river pollution, deforestation, climate change.
Social education in Geography involves the study of real people in different societies from around the world. In looking at their own locality and others in the world, student's sense of identity and community can be strengthened.
Cultural education in Geography involves the study of real people in real places in the past and present. It provides opportunities for multi-cultural education through recognising commonalities and differences. It also encourages students to reflect on their own personal identity of sense of belonging.
Examples of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education in Geography include:
Students learning the power of the Earth’s forces, for instance the effects of volcanic eruptions and their impact on people
Understanding the threats to the planet now and in the future, including global warming
Students discussing the consequences of globalisation and its impacts on workers and their possible exploitation
Students becoming aware of the social problems of rural decline and urban growth in countries from around the world
