The Educate America Act of 1994 names geography as one of nine subject areas in which high school graduates must achieve competency. The new competency requirements necessitate a broader, more complete education of our nation's pre-service social studies teachers. To date, very few comprehensive curriculum materials have been developed to facilitate teaching pre-service geography students. This proposal requests NSF funds for the development of a four-volume manual of module exercises covering each of the four core areas of geographic education-cultural, physical, geographic techniques, and world regional geography. The manual will be developed by teams of geographers, education faculty, technology consultants, and an advisory committee, with the goal of producing the Cultural and Physical volumes in year 1, and the Techniques and World Regional volumes in year 2. The manual will be ultimately tested by an advisory committee for its consistency with the philosophies and objectives of GEO-Teach, a pre-service geography education program funded by FIPSE and currently being implemented at Mankato State University. GEO-Teach strives to model for students successful approaches to interdisciplinary teaching and a content- and process-based pedagogy that integrates up-to-date technology instruction into the curriculum; it is expected that the same principles will be integrated into this four-volume manual. Two external evaluators will conduct testing in large and small university classes outside Mankato State University. It is anticipated that the final product will be available for distribution to other pre-service geography/social studies programs in the Spring of 1998.

1994年的《美国教育法》将地理列为高中毕业生必须具备能力的九个学科领域之一。 新的能力要求需要我们国家的职前社会研究教师的更广泛，更完整的教育。 到目前为止，很少有综合性的课程材料已经开发，以方便教学的职前地理学生。 该提案要求NSF提供资金，用于编写一本四卷本的模块练习手册，涵盖地理教育的四个核心领域--文化、自然、地理技术和世界区域地理。 该手册将由地理学家、教育教师、技术顾问和咨询委员会组成的小组编写，目标是在第一年编写文化和自然卷，在第二年编写技术和世界区域卷。 该手册最终将由一个咨询委员会进行测试，以确定其是否符合GEO-Teach的理念和目标，GEO-Teach是一个由FIPSE资助的职前地理教育方案，目前正在曼卡托州立大学实施。 GEO-Teach致力于为学生提供跨学科教学的成功方法和基于内容和过程的教学法，将最新的技术教学整合到课程中;预计相同的原则将被整合到这四卷本手册中。 两名外部评估人员将在曼卡托州立大学外的大学大、小班进行测试。 预计最终产品将于1998年春季分发给其他任职前地理/社会研究方案。
