Description

This paper examines how logical and empathetic understanding we can foster in junior high school geography classes by teaching “Oceania.” This teaching practice is based on the authors’ belief that geography education, which contributes to developing leaders of a “sustainable society,” requires logical and empathetic understanding as a foundation for geography education. Furthermore, by using textbooks as the primary teaching materials, the authors aimed to create a trial plan that teachers who are not geography specialists could quickly implement. As a result of the classroom practice, we were able to show that the textbooks could be used as the primary teaching materials and still produce satisfactory results. On the other hand, new issues were identified, such as the need for teachers to learn new teaching methods from geography expertise and language education, and other fields.
