Abstract
Topographical mapwork has a strong position in the syllabi and
examinations in second-level education in the Republic of Ireland. It has not been
the subject of any research, however, so a questionnaire survey of geography
teachers was undertaken to investigate aspects of its nature and problems. It receives
less teaching time and resources than its role in assessment might suggest. Mapwork
was considered to be comparatively easy to learn, relative to other sections and skills
in the syllabi, but considerable differences in the level of difficulty of various topics
within mapwork were perceived. Problems in teaching and learning topographical
mapwork are discussed.
