ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to develop a sensory and perceptual geography learning style scale for understanding geography learners. Learning style is an educational psychology method for understanding learners. Sense and perception affect the foundation of private geography in each geography learner and are also elements of learning style in case of information recognition. Based on sensory and perceptual factors, a questionnaire was selected to understand geography learners. The questionnaire can be categorized into three parts: senses and perceptual elements set through prior research analysis, geography learning contents, and teaching methods and materials in geography education. High school students in Korea and Japan participated in the questionnaire survey. Exploratory factor analysis of the data revealed that 14 items comprised 3 factors: “preference for Visual materials,” “preference of Aural/Oral activities in peer-group,” and “preference for Drawing.” This scale is proposed as a means to understand geography learners through sensory and perceptual aspects.
