The paper discusses the possibilities of transformation of geography teaching under the influence of some modern ideas and processes in geographic education, such as powerful geographical knowledge and the presence of criticism of the modern curriculum. Further reform changes in the education system of the Republic of Srpska, which have been present until now through the introduction of a curricular approach to the teaching plan and program, cannot be viewed outside of the current problems of the modern curriculum. The idea of powerful knowledge appeared, among other things, as a reaction to the problems of the modern skills-based curriculum. Through this idea, a number of issues related to the curriculum and education are considered and critically reviewed, such as: the deficiencies of the modern skills-based curriculum, the importance of disciplinary knowledge and its return to the curriculum, the importance of learning content and the importance of the didactic triangle, the positive and negative sides of socio-constructivism, functionalist approach to education and many others. This paper is an attempt to consider the possibilities of conceptualization of the curriculum and transformation of geography teaching in the Republic of Srpska, by pointing out the problems of the modern geography curriculum.
