What is shared by the two countries is the fact that both in Poland and England, geography as a school subject is compulsory only for four years at the 3rd level of education. Only during this short period students learn about the nature of the discipline and the subject of its research. Textbooks analyzed in the article were regarded as areas of presentation of the geographical environment, which – in accordance to the concept of H. Lefebvre (1974, 1991) – like other media indirectly shape certain presentation of space. Comparison of textbooks' content related to agriculture and rural geography in Poland and England confirmed imperfections of Polish geographical education, which does not fully exploit potential of the discipline. Moreover, applied manners of presentation do not follow achievements of geography at the scientific level.}, type={Text}, title={Obraz wsi i rolnictwa w polskich i angielskich podręcznikach do geografii = Image of countryside and agriculture in Polish and English geography textbooks}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/58062/PDF/WA51_78065_r2015-t40_SOW-Tobiasz-Lis.pdf}, keywords={image, countries, agriculture, textbooks, programme basis}, }
