It surprised me how much I already knew about inquiry in Geography. While I’d never thought about the theoretical or philosophical underpinnings, there was a large amount of experience that I could draw from to make sense of many of the readings that I encountered. I knew for instance that my experience of Geography was vastly different to that of my parents. I knew that Geography in Queensland today uses a thematic based approach and that my lecturer in Geography Education at the University of Queensland, was pretty upset at the introduction of this approach, preferring more of the traditional approach with its emphasis on skills. I also found one of his articles in one of my readings and this confirmed his emphasis on setting out the inquiry questions for students, which is probably not how I’d design a curriculum, knowing what I do now.
