The Development of Geographical Education in Romania, under the Influence of the Soviet Education Model (1948–1962)

Summary/Abstract: In this study, we used three perspectives (historical, geographical, and pedagogical) in order to analyze the development of geographical education and of the training of geography teachers in Romania, at the beginning of the communist period, under the influence of the Soviet education model (1948–1962). We underlined the role of the factors that determined major changes in the development of geographical education, on the basis of historical documents and of the most significant historical events. This research is relevant for geographers, historians, and educators, because we analyzed the development and features of the pre-university and university geographical education in Romania, at the beginning of the communist period, little known at the national and international levels.
