How does powerful knowledge come into play in a geography curriculum?
Geography has often been viewed as a school subject that simply requires memorization. However, many experts think that this field may actually integrate powerful knowledge. Although the definition of powerful knowledge (PK) has been debated by experts, many agree that it is evidence based, abstract and theoretical, and gives power to students through giving them knowledge they would not get in their everyday lives. It comes from experts in their disciplines and provides the most reliable, but also testable and open to challenge knowledge.
