The Course in Higher Geography lessons builds on the Standard Grade qualification in the subject and on the Units and Courses in Geography lessons studied at Intermediate level Geography lessons. It is also undertaken by a number of candidates who may have studied another social subject. The achievement of a Higher Course award in Geography lessons is recognised as a general entry qualification to both further and higher education. More specifically, it is referred to as a preferred entry qualification to a number of Units at Higher National level with a geographical and environmental focus and in higher education it is valued as an entry qualification to Arts, Social Science and Science faculties in many universities.
During the Course in Higher Geography lessons emphasis is placed on the provision of geographical experiences which lead candidates to an understanding of concepts, key ideas and relevant terminology. These experiences also develop evaluative and investigative skills. In the Geography lessons: Physical Environments and Geography lessons: Human Environments Units of the Course the focus of study is on specific features of physical and human environments. The Geography lessons: Environmental Interactions Unit develops an awareness of the inter-relationships between these environments. Candidates who have completed all three Units will, therefore, have widened their knowledge of the environment as a whole but will also have been able to use this knowledge to come to a greater understanding of how the different elements of these environments relate to each other. As these knowledge and skill areas develop, candidates will increasingly apply them to situations in which they have to make sound and reasoned judgements about local, national and global environmental issues.
The study of Geography lessons at Higher level provides an increasingly sophisticated development of skills through a range of learning experiences. In addition, there is an increased emphasis on developing skills of independent study, co-operative learning, objective thinking and the ability to communicate clearly and confidently. The development of these skills at Higher level provides candidates with a sound base from which to pursue further studies.
The principal aim of the Higher level Course in Geography lessons is that, by using the concepts and techniques of geographical analysis, candidates develop a detailed understanding of aspects of the contemporary world which are of concern to all citizens. In addition, the Course enables candidates to develop progressively:
♦ an understanding of the ways in which people and the environment interact in response to physical and human processes at local, national and international scales
♦ an awareness of spatial relationships and an understanding of the changing world in a balanced, critical and sympathetic way
♦ a life-long interest in, understanding of, and concern for the environment
♦ a geographical perspective on environmental issues and their significance
♦ general skills of research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation, including the use of IT
♦ techniques and terminology to collect, extract, analyse, interpret and explain geographical phenomena
♦ expertise in the use of a range of maps, diagrams, statistical techniques, written accounts and, where appropriate, new technology, to process and communicate information
A contribution is made to general and vocational education and the wider curriculum by:
♦ raising awareness of the links between the subject and other disciplines
♦ developing independent and co-operative learning as part of personal and social education
♦ developing problem-solving skills
♦ emphasising the development and application of learning skills relevant to everyday life
Appropriate key geographical concepts should be developed. In constructing a teaching programme, account should be taken of the following underlying concepts:
♦ location
♦ spatial patterns
♦ change
♦ diversity
♦ interdependence
♦ co-operation
♦ conflict
♦ sustainability
♦ global citizenship
♦ technology
These concepts should be introduced where they are appropriate to the topic of study.
