GA Research Report: The professional needs and views of teachers of geography

This report presents the findings from a two-phase listening exercise: an online survey followed by focus group discussions. Framed around the Geographical Association’s (GA) vision to ‘create a vibrant and diverse subject community inspiring high-quality geographical teaching and learning’, the exercise enabled the Association to better understand the professional needs of geography educators and the challenges they currently face so that it can respond with appropriate support.

This report:

• outlines the approach to the data collection methods
• presents the findings from both phases of the research
• discusses their implications
• makes recommendations.
