YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia's geography lesson need to be laid back because it still faces constraints in its development, said Dean of the Faculty of Geography Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Suratman Worosuprojo.
"Constraints, among other inconsistencies teaching materials from the primary level, secondary to university. Teachers who do not have a certificate in geography, the number of teaching hours in high school or less, and not taught in high school science department," he said in Yogyakarta on Saturday (16/10 / 2010).
According to him, in a discussion forum at the Faculty of Geography Gadjah Mada University (UGM), geography education in Indonesia continues to lead to a convincing competence to solve national and global issues.
"Geography has long been studied, ranging from the era of descriptive qualitative, quantitative descriptive until now entering the era of experimental and quantitative mathematical models," he said.
