Abstract:
This paper presents results of our research on critical spots in geography education. Critical spots and their causes were identified using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 6th grade teachers. Educational modules for five most critical identified spots (Maps, Geographic coordinates, Time zones, Atmospheric circulation, Tectonic plates and its motion) were designed focusing on overcoming of causes of its criticality (missing curriculum continuity, high requirements on pupil’s imagination, complexity of the topic, insufficient motivation, transition from knowledge to competence). Teachers tested modules during their lessons and subsequently evaluated its success with overcoming the critical spots. This paper presents the „Time zones“ module and results of its evaluation as well as the methodological background of its design and the insight into the wider field of critical spot’s issues.
