一、地理教育是人类生存和社会发展的需要 地球是人类之家。人类的生活与生产活动都同地理环境息息相关。人类之间的交往、旅行、商业活动、信息传递,以及国际关系都是在一定地域空间进行的,因此,地理知识是人们经常的和必要的知识。远在有文字记载以前,人类为了了解生存环境,就注意考察周围的地理事物,区别一个地方同另一个地方的差异,并将自己的风闻和臆测去告诉后代和别人。自从有了文字以后,地理资料就被陆续记载下来传诸后世。 First, geography education is the need for human survival and social development. The earth is the home of mankind. Human life and production activities are closely related to the geographical environment. Communication, travel, business activities, information transfer, and international relations among humans are all conducted in a certain geographical space. Therefore, geography knowledge is a regular and necessary knowledge of people. Far from being recorded in writing, humans, in order to understand the living environment, pay attention to examining the surrounding geographical things, distinguishing differences between one place and another place, and telling their offspring and others about future generations and others. Since it was written, geographical data has been recorded and passed down to later generations.
