Because of China＇s vast land area and the significance of the regional differences, it is difficult for students to receive a solid education regarding China＇s geography. In 1902, the government established the geography curriculum and began to incorporate the concept of geographical regionalization to facilitate the teaching of China＇s geography by publishing the first syllabi, which was modified later and put into use in 1904. Since 1904, numerous geog raphy textbooks have attempted to find an appropriate way to present China＇s geographical regionalization, as it is important for secondary students to have a clear understanding and appreciation for the different regional characteristics. Accordingly, the geographical region alization content is divided into four main phases： 1902 to 1927; 1928 to 1948; 1949 to 1986; and 1986 to the present. During these phases, the content related to China＇s geographical regionalization in secondary middle school geography textbooks has been gradually simplified and has adopted a more scientific foundation, thus leading to the present time where there are now four geographical regional areas. From this historical study, we find that while China＇s geographical regionalization has gradually matured, there are still some problems. For example, dividing the study into four regions to describe the panorama of China is too simplified, and the learning therefore becomes too scattered and haphazard, particularly qiven the new curriculum reform.展开更多

Two research questions were developed and answered by the study while two null hypotheses were formulated and tested. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study was 441 while the sample was 249. A 34-item structured questionnaire was developed for data collection. The questionnaire items were face-validated by five experts while Cronbach alpha method was used to determine the internal consistency of the items. The copies of the questionnaire were administered to the respondents with the help of two research assistants. Weighted mean was used to answer the research questions while t-test statistic was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance and 240 degrees of freedom. The findings of the study revealed that four clusters with 23 items were required for integration in the curriculum while 11 materials were identified to help teach the content areas. It was also found that there was no significant (p > 0.05) difference in the mean responses of Lecturers and extension agents on each item in the content areas of climate change and materials for teaching them. The study recommended among others that the clusters and 23 items with the materials identified by the study should be integrated into the agricultural science curriculum for teaching in secondary schools, especially in Nigeria.展开更多
