The results are follows:(1) It was after the teaching geographical concepts like 'nation' or 'the distribution of sea and land', Misawa taught geography of foreign countries. It was the geography of U. K. that he taught first in various countries. The program of geography education by Misawa was different from that prescribed by government. He thought that it was necessary to teach essential concepts beginning of the school year.(2) Misawa emphasized 'national character' affecting industry in his geography classes about U. K., Russia, and Switherland. He taught that the history and landform and climate of the country affected national character. After 1930's, he was going to emphasize 'air-soil'.(3) Misawa used the expressions like "study thoroughly" in his class. One of his aim was that children had scientific attitude in everyday life.
