Abstract

This study examines the current state of geography education in Hungary and the major challenges facing the field. Geography education in Hungary is in crisis, with one of the primary issues being the continuously declining number of lessons (teaching hours). Furthermore, the number of geography lessons is higher in all nearby countries than in Hungary, which almost jeopardizes the teaching and learning process. Nonetheless, the issue is more intricate than this: there are frequent and often ill-considered changes in curricular regulations, society and schools have different views on the subject, there are concerns regarding the quality of available teaching materials, and there are no changes in the methodological culture. In relation to the latter, the teaching of geography has remained entrenched in a passive approach for many years, focusing heavily on curricular content and often prioritising teachers and exams. The study presents the results of structured interviews conducted with 70 geography teachers, which corroborate findings reported in the relevant literature.
