Bridging the Gap between School and College: Evidence from the University of Leicester 1978-82.

Strachan, Alan

Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v8 n2 p125-35 1984

A five-year survey of first-year honors geography students attending Leicester University (England) showed that the students had a good factual knowledge of geography but alarmingly low levels of understanding and serious deficiencies in their grasp of quantitative methods. Ways in which these problems might be tackled are discussed. (Author/RM)
