Abstract

Ideal geographic education in the elementary school necessitates the child's precise observation of and interaction with "geographic" phenomena. This is requisite to understand man interacting with elements within his environment. Such precise education will help the child in his spatial analysis of the earth as his personal home.

And it certainly does not illuminate all the problems inherent in the proper teaching of geography. Yet television under the direction of a qualified studio teacher is an excellent medium when properly utilized, and is one of the finest teaching devices yet designed for viewing by students and teachers.
