Abstract GeoCapabilities offers an approach for unlocking powerful disciplinary knowledge (PDK) for children. In phase three of the project, we are exploring how far GeoCapabilities ‘works’ for teachers serving communities in challenging socio-economic circumstances. We connect GeoCapabilities to social justice in education, theoretically. Then, using the topic of migration, we discuss initial empirical findings of how teachers understand PDK and their challenges for teaching PDK. Collaborative work between teachers and academics suggests that the social justice dimension of GeoCapabilities could be realised, with appropriate support for teachers. We conclude with a set of principles to inform the future work of GeoCapabilities.

教授强大的地理知识——社会正义问题：GeoCapabilities 3 项目的初步发现

Abstract GeoCapabilities 提供了一种为儿童解锁强大学科知识 (PDK) 的方法。在项目的第三阶段，我们正在探索 GeoCapabilities 对在充满挑战的社会经济环境中为社区服务的教师“有效”的程度。我们在理论上将 GeoCapabilities 与教育中的社会正义联系起来。然后，使用迁移的主题，我们讨论了教师如何理解 PDK 以及他们在教授 PDK 方面面临的挑战的初步实证结果。教师和学者之间的合作表明，在对教师提供适当支持的情况下，可以实现地理能力的社会正义维度。我们以一组原则作为总结，为 GeoCapabilities 的未来工作提供信息。
