The knowledge debate: teachers views Steve Puttick

The knowledge debate… Firth (2007; 2011) Lambert and Morgan (2009; 2011) Lambert (2011) Morgan (2011) Winter (2009; 2012) Young (2007) DfE (2010)…

…thinking skills, learning to learn and the emotional dimensions of learning [have] assumed more immediate or urgent attention than a critical gaze on the material content of lessons... (Lambert and Morgan, 2011, p.281)

…geographical knowledge has rarely, if ever, figured in such discussion. It has been marginalised by the exigencies of everyday practice and the imperatives of policy. (Firth, 2011, p.312)

Why, then, is Geography in such a poor state of health? …treats knowledge as a technical phenomenon, devoid of politics and ethics… a reductive, simplistic enterprise (Winter, 2009, p.671)

…university Geography has had little influence on school Geography… (Winter, 2009, p.672)

one of the things I would stand strongly by is, I'm not there to impart knowledge, I'm there to facilitate them becoming better learners. Greg

Questions for teachers: Does the origin of knowledge matter? How can epistemological developments in the academic discipline inform the school subject? Should they?
