"It is only knowledge produced with difficulty we truly value"
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
Yes –
if we try hard to gain knowledge then maybe we place more of higher value on it?
No -
Some knowledge can be simplistic and not require deeper cognitive learning but it doesn’t make it less valid.
It is relative,
you may find acquiring knowledge from a certain subject more easy than another subject you find more difficult that you have to work harder towards.
What methods are used in your discipline to generate knowledge?
archival evidence, data collection, experimentation, observation, and inductive and deductive reasoning.
Can you see relevant links to other elements of the knowledge framework?
Scope
– scale (local, national, global), spatial interaction between places, processes or human / physical changes. Powers – also impacted by scale eg: governments or physical processes.

Ethics
How global interactions create environmental risks for particular places and people
Research ethics – follow ethical principles when collecting data
Corporate social responsibility (large TNC’s operating in Low income countries)
sustainability
resource stewardship (water/energy/food)
How global interactions affect the physical environment by varying degrees at different scales (transboundary pollution, impacts of shipping, polluting manufacturing industries
What thinking skills are required to deconstruct this prescribed title?
Reasoning , justifying, analysing, evaluation, decision making
What teaching strategies do you use to teach these skills?
See think wonder – especially for geographical photo analysis – (analysing) – eg: migration topic – migrant boat image – where are they going, what are they doing, why are they doing that?
what makes you say that? – routine to help students build explanations into their answers and promotes reasoning.
I used to think, now I think – allows students to reflect on their own thoughts, and how / why their thinking has changed. Useful in consolidating new learning at the end of lesson or how their opinions have changed.
Group discussions / debates
