The Collage: Its Use in Geographic Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to introduce the use of the collage as a teaching technique to teachers of geography. The collage is presented within the context of a teaching unit in which emphasis is placed upon unit objectives, teaching techniques, and evaluation methods. Methods used to relate the college to subject matter content are stressed. It is demonstrated that the collage stimulates and increases student participation in the learning process and enhances the possibilities of meaningful, learning experiences. It is concluded that the collage has great potential as a non-verbal medium of communication, considerable usefulness at almost any instructional level, and applicability to a large range of geography and social science subject matter.
