Geography Teaching as A Tool for Enhancing Values Education: Case of Promoting Sustainable Development in Selected Secondary Schools Northern Education Division

This book is about a study which aimed at exploring how Malawi secondary school Geography helps to promote geographical values particularly Sustainable Development Values (SDVs) in learners. This was achieved by examining how SDVs are addressed in secondary school Geography syllabi; investigating how secondary school Geography teachers address SDVs through the teaching of Geography; assessing challenges facing promotion of SDVs through the teaching of Geography, and evaluating how some Geography school leavers apply SDVs in their societies. The study was guided by Transformative Learning Theory, adopted a mixed-method approach and fell under the pragmatic research paradigm. It involved 78 Geography teachers and 38 former Geography students as participants. This project was conducted in 35 secondary schools in two districts (Mzimba north and Nkhata bay) of NED.
