Introduction to Geography
In this Unit, students will be introduced to the discipline of Geography. Geography is enquiry-based and this Introduction to Geography is meant to stimulate an interest in places and help students to make sense of a complex and dynamic world. Geography helps students to understand their place
in the world and how they can positively and effectively contribute to global change. Students will be exposed to the significance of the subject and the many uses and applications of the discipline in real world situations. Students should come to realise from the examination of the five thematic areas
that Geography helps to explain many of the phenomena that occur in their environment. From studying the branches and sub-branches of Geography, there should be the recognition that basic knowledge of Geographic concepts and skills are important in any field that is identified. The Unit introduces ways in which geographical data are represented and interpreted. An exposure to statistical diagrams enables students to summarise data – a skill that may be applied in other disciplines. Students should therefore develop an appreciation for and value the significance of studying Geography.
