The GeoScenario

Abstract

The geographical scenario (geoscenario) is considered a methodological resource in geography teaching. The geoscenario may be defined as the minimal significant landscape framework unit in landscape teaching that embodies a synthetic representation of a real-world acute issue involving a particular geographical problem. The application of geographical abilities and skills and the selection of real global issues in the geographical scenarios promotes lifelong learning. A broadly-based planning is needed for an integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum in geography. PBL method is aligned with the fundamentals of the constructivist approach and promotes collaborative and cooperative learning in small group work. BPL implementation involves six steps and three progression levels for problem-solving in relation to cognition processes, classroom dynamics, and the identification degree of features and events in the geoscenario. Experiential knowledge and analogical thinking are applied to problem formulation and solving in the geoscenario.
