Abstract
The current syllabuses for geography place an emphasis on Geographical Investigations (GI)/ fieldwork to give students opportunities to appreciate the real world application of geographical knowledge and skills, as well as to help them acquire 21st century competencies. To better support teachers in conducting meaningful and purposeful fieldwork, we need to identify strengths and gaps in teachers’ knowledge and the ways they apply their knowledge in their practice. As such, we employed a qualitative case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of teachers’ knowledge and its relationship to their practice of fieldwork.
