Teaching Strategies: Their Effect on Performance in Geography: Teaching Strategies in Geography Lina Ayako

Teaching strategies determine acquistion of Skills and Knowledge by learners. Research on teaching and learning has been done on various variables that affect learning. While recent studies favour learner centred approcahes in learning it is important to impirically determine what the actual practise is in classrooms. This study was done in Kenyan Geography classrooms. Students were observed in their natural learning enviroment while undertaking Geography lessons. The results are illuminating and insightful. The analysis should help shed light on why certain teaching strategies still persist despite various advances in technology. Educationists and teachers should find the book resourceful and insightful reading and reference especially for practising teachers and researches.
