Abstract

Synergogy is an educational model derived from the constructivist approach, whose main foundation is based on group and collaborative planning. Synergogy is the most used model in teaching place-based courses because of its spatial data structure. The foundation of such courses is based on geographic content. This research, with an interpretative method based on gathering information from library-documentary sources, has investigated the synergistic method of teaching place-based courses in social science education at Farhangian University. The findings show that the synergistic model with the collaborative lever of the leader as well as the emphasis on the student's working group and the teacher's facilitation, can work effectively in memorizing and mentally visualizing spatial data. The synergy model recommends a step-by-step fashion through which the teacher acts as a facilitator with guiding, participation-oriented, knowledge-oriented, trust-building, cohesive and synergistic ability. Through the stages of grouping, definition, facilitation, synergization, validation, classification, rotation of concepts, sharing and evaluation, the student in a self-directed way, would learn the place-oriented course materials and by mental imagery, he could memorize them permanently. Synergogy model is the most effective educational model for sustainable learning of subjects on a general scale for all courses and on a special scale for spatial courses.
