- W14267576 abstract "Most of us would believe that changes in education filter down from influential academics or at least professional educators who from lofty motives purvey improved remedies to forge educational progress. However, educational innovation is probably, more often than not, also the result of influences stemming from social, cultural and economic changes. Specifically this seems to have been the case with the Wyndham Scheme for education in Geography. Rapid developments in Australian society during the first half of the twentieth century culminated in escalating retention rates for students in secondary and university education, and an explosion in the popularity of Geography as both a high school and university subject. This explosion was increasingly apparent in the decades of the 1950's and 1960's. The increasing popular demand, in the state of New South Wales (NSW), for secondary and higher education also primed enrolments in Geography. This increasing demand arose from a rapidly growing population, professionalism in occupations, and a general prosperity across society, and these coupled with a high spirit in society for scientific pursuits, all helped growing enrolments generally in education, and specifically in geography education. Quite an obvious break was made from the legacy within which Geography had traditionally been a humanity within the classical approach inherent in most of the geographical literature to that time. In this new unfolding context of the 50’s and 60’s Geography became more of a social scientific discipline emphasizing process and systems within scientific method. These innovations in Geography also facilitated its fit with the enquiry methods of the new educational thought of the post war era from 1945. There is a dearth of papers which place the development of post-World War Two Geography education in Australia, and particularly in the state of New South Wales, in its social and cultural context. This paper attempts to fill that gap by showing that the post-war development of the Wyndham Scheme in NSW grew out of contemporary societal needs for a redirection and redesign of education in general, and in particular for the Geography syllabus. This new syllabus set the basis for a revitalized and growing popular pursuit of Geography, as a comprehensive science incorporating physical and social phenomena. This new pursuit of Geography was based upon the novel approach (at least in Australia) which emphasized learning through discovery, emphasizing the process of learning, through systems and typical examples, and not just acceptance and retention of facts and theories." @default.
