Outcomes

Outcomes express the specific intended results of the teaching of the syllabus. They are derived from the content of the syllabus and arranged in Stages. The outcomes are placed before the content relating to geographical tools, skills, values and attitudes and before the content of each focus area to indicate their importance in guiding teaching and learning.


The outcomes for the elective course are listed below. Teaching/learning programs must be developed from at least TWO of the five focus areas in Geography (Elective) and should integrate learning about the content relating to geographical tools, skills, values and attitudes with the content of the chosen focus areas. In a programmed unit of work, students will work towards achieving several outcomes. It is not expected that students will achieve any one outcome in any single unit of work.
