Geoturystyka w pracy dydaktyczno-wychowawczej nauczyciela geografii
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Moskwa, Krzysztof; Miraj, Krzysztof
Geosites are places visited by various tourist groups, as well as students, who take part in class or school trips. Combining educational tourism with touring, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the geological heritage of the visited region. School or class trips play an important role in bringing up children and young people and expose them to the beauty of the surrounding world. A trip for students is therefore a good opportunity to acquire new and consolidate already existing knowledge and skills, outside of the classroom. Such education, away from school, is very interesting for young people, captivating their attention, and, as such, attractive and effective. It can also be successfully used in geotourism. The authors of the work attempt to discuss geotourism as a form of education and upbringing of students. The school or class trip is important from a pedagogical point of view and makes it possible to shape broadly understood prosocial attitudes among young people. In this work, the authors want to draw attention to these issues in reference to geotourism. Learning about the activity of teachers in organizing tourist trips to various places related to geology is one of the goals set out in the paper. In order to achieve the objective, the authors of the article decided to conduct surveys, limiting a two-page questionnaire to 16 questions. Among the educators, the survey covered only geography teachers, who are mainly educated in geology in the schools. They often lead trips with young people or help their colleagues who teach other subjects, and likewise engage in school tourism. The understanding of the interests of the geography teachers in geosite trips, organization and objectives of the school trips and forms of geo-education in the field may be applied in future projects. This is especially important for geography teachers and others involved in geo-education and organization of geosite trips. The educational character of such school trips may also contribute to the development of a range of geotouristic offers and geoproducts in places associated with geological education.
