Abstract
This paper aims to encourage reflections and debates on changing the concept of geographical education in the Czech curriculum. The basis for this reflection are conducted surveys in which we have identified, with the help of Catling's typology, a type of concept that prevail in the curriculum documents of the RVP and among the future geography teachers. The required idea of geographical thinking supported by the International Charter on Geographical Education and current foreign trends is not sufficiently reflected in the curriculum documents of the RVP as well as in the geographical thinking of future geography teachers. The survey has shown that the factual concept of teaching geography is so deeply embedded in RVP documents as well as in the minds of students of geography teaching that there is an apparent space for the development of geographical thinking.
Keywords: geographical education, geographical thinking, Catling's typology
