About Priyanka
I am Priyanka Das and I have qualified NTA UGC National Eligibility Test for the subject Geography and which makes me eligible to be an assistant professor in any of the Universities in India. I have completed my master's in geography from Banaras Hindu University, one of the eminent institutes of India and I have done my bachelor’s from the University of Delhi where my Honors subject was Geography and my elective was Political Science. I was a bright student back in my school days as well and acquired the first position in my class with 91.6% with Humanities as the stream. I am grateful to this platform that I can pass on my knowledge to the upcoming shining stars and can guide them for their betterment.

Many people see geography as a subject concerned with remembering the names of places and landforms and learning about human and physical processes responsible for the world around us. There is a common perception that geographers learn ‘the facts’, present them in maps, hydrographs, pie charts, and ‘do fieldwork’. Many will restrict their comments. If a student thinks about geographical concepts, they can probably produce a long list of examples. They may be:
-abstract (e.g., erosion)
-concrete (e.g., beach)
-organisational (a way of linking every day to higher-level geographical ideas, such as interdependence)or -belong to another category entirely
My approach is to bring their ideas on front and then magnifying the fillups in their vision which is relational thinking. Core knowledge or context is important but where ‘thinking geographically’ (using and linking concepts) is a learning outcome, students develop the structures and skills to progress their own learning. Rather than ‘covering’ the subject, I support young people to develop conceptual understanding to organise, link, interpret and question geographical content.
For me, It is important to be aware of the contested nature of concepts that is to address misconceptions, which implies the difference between an alternative view and a misconception. Thus my base of teaching is an enquiry approach to learning which recognises that knowledge is not something “out there” ready to be learned; it is generated in the process of answering questions’.
I also believe in using technology that can provide an easier understanding of the concept. Video links, presentations, and pictorial representation can bring a bigger picture in front of the student as well. With that, the traditional Whiteboard teaching will also bring the studying environment altogether.
Qualifying the National Eligibility Test in the subject of geography makes me more wholesome about the subject which I'm going to deliver.
