Despite of continuous education reformation in Taiwan, paper-and-pen test with the question type of the multiple choices is still dominant in the school. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a platform of multiple assessments. It is under such circumstances, two national geography competitions have been organized for various age group students and have received very positive feedback from school teachers and parents. The 10th Taiwan Geography Olympiad (2011 TGEO) for students of age 16-19 and the 7th Taiwan National Geographic Championship (2011 TNGC) for students under age 16 will be held in the coming autumn. The former include a project-based and an individual-based competition. The latter consists of three-stage tests and also an environmental observation test (focusing on observation and mapping skill). It is expected, these two national competitions will stimulate the practice of the fieldwork, issue discussion and scientific education, i.e., higher level abilities, into geography teaching, and in turn to help students to catch up the international level of geographical literacy.高中地理奧林匹亞國家地理知識大競賽國際地理奧林匹亞國家地理世界錦標賽地理教育Geography OlympiadTaiwan National Geographic ChampionshipInternational Geography OlympiadNational Geographic World ChampionshipGeography Education科普活動Geography Competitions for High School and Primary School Students, 20112011年高中與國中小地理競賽
