Abstract: Documentaries are used in different fields of science but they are significant resources to utilize in Geography education either as homework or as classwork. Because, one of the most crucial actions to be taken in order to keep Geography courses away from rote learning is to correlate Geogragraphy subjects with life and to apply different techniques and methods during the teaching process. The purpose of this paper is to disentangle Geography education from conventional teaching approach, to emphasize the significance of documentaries as effective means to convey real life into Geography education and to guide educators. Despcriptive Research Method has been used during the preparation process of this paper. At the end of the study it was revealed that various types of documentaries such as, News, Travel, Social, Research, History, Compilation, Archeology, Sports documentaries and documentary films could be utilized as subsidiary materials and as assignments for Geography education. Thus; a more colourful, rich, motivating, effective and permanent learning environment could be provided.
