The aim of teaching Geography is that it provides mental discipline which means that the subject trains the pupils whole mode of thought which in its turn influences his intellectual life and studies in the same field. Geography encourages independence in thought and action. An independent person will come to his conclusions only after thoughtful deliberations. Geography teachers are at an advantageous position to develop this type of thinking by encouraging pupil's participation in the learning process. A student of Geography can appreciate the beauty of nature better which might cultivate a sense of responsibility for its care and protection. The Geography teachers should help his pupil to discover his qualities, take pride in his talents and build his character to enable him to find satisfaction in his achievement.
