Abstract

One of the philosophical questions which should be pricipally answered in curriculum development for any subject is why a particular subject needs to be taught to children in school. The answer to such a question is basically influenced by ideology or beliefs and values system believed in society. Reconstructionism is regarded as an appropriate educational ideology which gives the basis for the Geography curriculum development in society characterised with democratic values such as that of Idonesia. The discussion on this issue leads to suggestion that Indonesian primary school educators need to reconsider the deferment on Geography teaching until Grade Three in prinary school and to regard Geography as an important and strategic subject matter to be taught to the primary pupils as early as posible.
