Introduction
The think about of Geography has been found by Greeks. They are the primary known culture
to effectively find Geography as a science and logic. Whereas maps had been made centuries
prior in Sumer, the Greeks were the primary to endeavour to completely and efficiently depict
the world. By the 8th century the Greeks had impressive information of the Geography of the
eastern Mediterranean appeared by they work. By the 18th century, geology had ended up
recognized as a discrete teach and got to be portion of a ordinary college educational programs
in Europe (especially Paris and Berlin), in spite of the fact that not the within the Joined
together Kingdom where topography was by and large instructed as a sub-discipline of other
subjects. In the West amid the moment half of the 19th and the 20th century, the teach of
geology went through four major stages:
natural determinism, territorial geology, the quantitative insurgency, and basic topography.

Literature Review
This current chapter deals with different works that underpin this study. In this perspective,
various research works related to the matter of this study were explored to provide the concepts
on which this study is situated. To better appreciate the study, some key terms used in the study
are defined below.

Definition of History
According to Marwick & University,( 2007) history is the The bodies of knowledge about the
past produced by historians, together with everything that is involved in the production,
communication of, and teaching about that knowledge.

Justifications for History

It is history specialists who give the relevant information that in the long run works its way into
the direct books, and once more the require is for exactness not presumptive hypothesis. Students
of history moreover give the relevant information for awesome works of craftsmanship and
writing, hence upgrading our delight of these. In expansion, the ponder of history offers to
people major utilitarian learning results. Preparing in history is preparing in examining,
assessing, and deciphering both auxiliary and essential sources. It creates an understanding that
everything composed relating to history, auxiliary or essential, must be drawn closer with
distrust and caution. What is fundamental in history is obvious and viable communication, well
organized, and composed in exact and express dialect.

History and the Past

The presence of the (mixed up) idea that students of history ‘‘reproduce‘‘the past does
demonstrate that there`s an mindfulness of the refinement between ‘‘history‘‘and ‘‘the past‘‘, in
spite of the fact that this qualification is regularly muddled.
No, to keep clear of all the misguided judgments which proliferate in verifiable epistemology we
got to make a firm qualification between history as ‘‘the bodies of information around the past
delivered by history specialists‘‘, and ‘‘the past‘‘ as ‘‘everything which really happened, whether
known, or composed, around by students of history or not‘‘.

Definition of Geography
Kayi,( 2016) define geography as the places, individuals, and the common and built situations
they possess. In spite of the fact that it is genuine that Geographers may be well prepared within
the area of numerous things and may be able to appear you those things on a outline, the genuine
esteem of the geographic perspective is found within the Geographer's capacity to clarify why
things are dispersed over space and through time and to utilize that information to assist direct
future choices almost how best to investigate, oversee, and ensure our world.

Important of Geography in Education

The geography is very important in education because it makes a difference understudies get it
complex intelligent between Earth's physical and human frameworks, whether they are at the
neighbourhood or the worldwide level. Well adjusted geographic instruction empowers
understudy to procure the abilities essential to posture and explore spatial as well as natural
questions. Geology makes a difference understudies center on the designs and forms that
interface them to the world by educating them to posture and reply geographic questions.
Methodology
This current chapter will be describes the methodology to be used in this study in order to carry
on the information to the study questions.
