Wat vinden aardrijkskundedocenten en leerlingen van leren-denken-met- aardrijkskunde opdrachten? En wat levert het werken met deze opdrachten op? Zijn ze motiverend en gaan leerlingen echt beter nadenken?  In een aantal publicaties wordt verslag gedaan van onderzoek om een antwoord te vinden op dit soort vragen.

Abstract: Relational thinking in geography is often complex,Jue to the interdisciplinary character of the subject and the many relationships between human and natural systems. We explored the strategies of twelve small groups of students in upper secondary education in the Netherlands as they attempted to understand a regional problem presented as a mystery. Four different relating strategies were found. The six low-performing groups on the mystery assignment employed different relating strategies from the six high-performing groups, who primarily used a webbing strategy. The findings suggest that a webbing strategy, focused on the establishment of multi-causal relationships, is more successful in tackling complex assignments in geography such as understanding regional problems.

Abstract: Relational thinking is a necessary skill for building students’ individual capabilities and a core concept in geography education. Geographical relational thinking refers to being able to give interrelated, causal explanations for geographical phenomena such as regional change. The aim of this study was to gain more insight into differences in relational thinking between small groups of students working together on an assignment to explain a regional event which was framed as a geographical mystery. This insight could help teachers to advance students’ geographical relational thinking skills. Two geographical mysteries were examined with data from 69 small groups in Dutch upper secondary education. The two mysteries resulted in differences in the level of relational thinking, which were partly explained by small-groups’ on-task behaviour. Many student groups showed a low level of geographical relational thinking. Findings point to the need to incorporate exercises into geography lessons which require the use of thinking and reasoning with interrelated causal relationships.

Abstract: Geographical relational thinking is an important part of geographical thinking. This descriptive research was conducted to seek evidence on students’ ability to establish geographical relationships which could help teachers to foster their geographical relational thinking. Sixty-nine small student groups from six secondary schools in the Netherlands were observed when solving a mystery. All relationships students established were analysed and the SOLO-taxonomy was used to analyse how coherent their solutions were. The results revealed that students had difficulties with complex, abstract and physical geographical relationships. A large proportion of the groups also had difficulties understanding the interdependence of the relationships. These findings underpin the usefulness of activities like mysteries which offer opportunities to practise, assess and teach geographical relational thinking in geography lessons.
