Özet:

 


This paper discusses the representation of resource exploitation and consumption in German geography
textbooks. The aim of the paper is to contribute to a critical and reflective understanding of the
representation of resource-related issues in textbooks by analyzing two scientific debates (resource
curse and actor analysis). The paper shows that all studied geography textbooks contribute to a certain
degree to awareness raising in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), but references to the
everyday life of students are rare. There are only few action-orientated tasks in the frame of resource
exploitation and consumption in the studied textbooks. As real-world examples help develop students’
critical thinking skills and shape their ideas of sustainable development, these aspects reflect a
pedagogical shortcoming.
