Texts, maps and the various documents that we use at school are almost all basically rational and cut off from reality. Before tackling them, it is proposed that we first delve into this "reality" by means of fiction. Verbal expression gaines and written games enable us to explore beforehand the mental representation of pupils and provide us with interesting questions for subsequent research. Two approaches of this type are detailed here in order to propose a discussion of their interest and of their relevance. [less ▲]

After having identified the main difficulties met by the teaching of geography in secondary schools, this article proposes tracks for a renewal. Firstly, these tracks deal with objectives : a geographical education for all - that means the ability to understand the spatial dimensions of a problem and this at different scales. Secondly, they are concerned that we whish to focus back on a global geography that attempts to understand territories in their diverse dimensions. Finally, they deal with teaching methods by introducing above all a coherent methodology that embraces the stages of the learning of facts and of spatial "ensembles" and which integrates the scientific approach.

The cities of the world may look in many different ways but they also present many similarities. The aim of this article is to study these two lendancies and so, to introduce this issue dedicated to "Cities of the World". In this first part, the principal common features in cities located sometimes at the antipodes are analized and a tentative summary concerning three typical aspects of the urban environment is introduced : the differences in the urban landscape, the multitude of functions, the crisis and the problems. In the second part, a comparison is made between five big types of cities (Western Europe, North America, industrialized socialist countries, developing countries and muslim areas). It is based on seven criterios : growth structures, the historical and cultural heritage, spatial structures and plans, transportation means, functions, population and housing, and general tendancies of town planning.

Eight kilometers northeast of the so-called "Grottes de Remmouchamps" and the "Vallon des chantoirs", developed in the Devonian limestones (Frasnian) around the Ardennian massif of the "Fenêtre de Theux" (geological window), a very active karstic complex has given way to the growth of especially scarce forms in our areas. These are cones of soft sediments formed around springs (resurgences), located on the smooth bottom of some valleys. [less ▲]

After specifying to wich areas of the teaching of geography the introduction of microcomputing would be most suited, the article then presents a series of programmes aimed at transforming data from figures into graphs and into elementary thematic maps. Written for a Commodore 64, these programmes "Europe in maps" try not only to help to bring regional disparities to the fore but also to process data and make maps in the best possible way. [less ▲]
