Aim. The aim of the article is to investigate how energy topics are presented in the geography curriculum in Lithuania and how school geography becomes an educational response to the current global challenges related to energy production and consumption. Methods. The article presents research using several methods: review of literature on energy geography and energy literacy, analysis of Lithuanian national curriculum for geography, content analysis of 14 geography textbooks for forms 6–12, expert interview with 9 geography teachers. Results. The empirical research reveals that the national curriculum and textbooks still represent the old energy paradigm with a profound focus on fossil fuel and nuclear energy resources. Meanwhile, the new energy paradigm is realised in the teaching of experienced and qualified teachers who, in addition to the new green energy economy, emphasise environmental and social issues of energy use. Conclusions. The conclusions include observations on necessary changes in teaching energy geography: on the one hand, by revising the formal curriculum and textbooks and integrating concepts of energy literature and new energy developments; on the other hand, by initiating changes in primary and continuous teacher education. Professional development of teachers could include new energy topics, new teaching and learning sources (political debates in media, TV, strategic energy development documents), new teaching and learning strategies and methods.

The dynamic social, economic, and political transformations of recent years have shaped the contemporary image of Polish society and significantly impacted higher education institutions. Geography had to evolve as an academic discipline not only because of the Bologna Process or reforms of higher education system, but also to attract young people to degree courses in geography.The aim of this article is to demonstrate the chief processes that currently shape higher education and geography degree programmes in Poland. At the macro-scale, we examined the opening of the labour market and the market of educational services, integration with the Bologna system, demographic changes and the evolving aspirations of Polish society towards education and professional careers. In the analysis regarding geography, we focused on the changes in how school geography is viewed generally, the level of interest among young people to pursue geography degrees and the motivations behind choosing this programme among geography students. We have discussed the role of internal and external competition affecting geography degree courses and the formal division of geography as a discipline resulting from the new Law 2.0 on Higher Education currently being implemented in Poland.

Przemiany społeczne i gospodarczo-polityczne, które charakteryzują się bardzo dużą dynamiką w ostatnich latach, ukształtowały współczesny obraz polskiego społeczeństwa oraz w znaczący sposób wpłynęły na uczelnie wyższe. Geografia akademicka musiała ewoluować po to aby realizować założenia procesu bolońskiego, reform szkolnictwa oraz pozostać wybieranym przez młodzież kierunkiem kształcenia.Celem artykułu jest ukazanie wpływu głównych procesów oddziałujących obecnie na szkolnictwo wyższe oraz na geografię jako kierunek studiów. W ujęciu makro rozważono uwolnienie rynku pracy i rynku usług edukacyjnych, integrację z systemem bolońskim, przemiany demograficzne, ewolucję aspiracji polskiego społeczeństwa wobec wykształcenia i kariery zawodowej. W odniesieniu do geografii uwagę skupiono na zmianach w szeroko pojętej percepcji geografii szkolnej, zainteresowaniu młodzieży podejmowaniem tych studiów i motywach wyboru geografii wśród osób ją studiujących. Omówiono znaczenie konkurencji wewnętrznej i zewnętrznej, w której dziś funkcjonuje ten kierunek studiów oraz formalnego podziału geografii jako dyscypliny naukowej, wynikającego z wdrażanej ustawy Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce z 20 lipca 2018 roku.
