“…An early focus of the digital-earth.eu project was the founding of a European Centre in November 2011, based at the Austrian Centre of Excellence with the aim to build a Community of Practice that could support teachers in different parts of Europe, and connect people working in national and regional contexts 13 . The purpose was to generate a European infrastructure that would allow those involved to share ideas and information, communicate future visions and develop an informed Community of Practice (CoP).…”

“…Education systems in Europe need to adopt more innovative approaches to teacher training and to curriculum frameworks to embrace the rapidly changing scientific, geospatial education landscape. For Digital Earth education to succeed, innovative, scenario-based pedagogies will need to be developed, piloted and employed, together with the use of the right tools to enhance spatial thinking 33 . Professional development of teachers and educators is therefore paramount, together with the creation of suitable resources and materials.…”

European school education has so far, by and large, ignored geospatial developments like remote sensing, despite the fact that geo-technology has already become a significant employer. There are small pockets of intense activity, the challenge is to scale these developments up. This article reports on networking initiatives developed by the digital-earth.eu project to connect organisations involved in geospatial education like remote sensing, to share practice, provide advice and guidance on the use of geographic information to others and be a place for new initiatives.The digital-earth.eu network project raises awareness of the role of digital earth education, informing politicians of the significance of digital earth tools and technologies. digital-earth.eu also establishes a teacher support network infrastructure which incorporates geo-services for teachers such as the use of ArcGIS Online for Organisations and the European Environment Agency EyeonEarth platform.The project has made recommendation concerning the growing shortage of a geospatial workforce in Europe, the significance of open data and the usability of EU INSPIRE Directive. It suggests that Digital Earth education and training developments are urgently needed as part of the European Qualifications Framework. European policy makers have to be made much more aware of geospatial concepts and then actively encouraged by stakeholders to respond to them in policy terms through developing a "Digital Earth education for all".

“…Dapatan hasil kajian yang dijalankan oleh Fleming (2015) dan Dal (2010), menyatakan bahawa pendidikan GIS dalam PdPc telah menarik minat ramai pelajar untuk mempelajari sesuatu ilmu (Toriskie, 1999;Mohd Aris Othman, 2007;Cheung et al, 2011a;Kerski, 2003;Panoutsopoulos et al, 2015;Şeremet & Chalkley, 2015;Schultz et al, 2008;Tabor & Harrington, 2014;Lateh & Muniandy, 2010;Jaafar, M., 2017;Mayalagu et al, 2018). Menurut dapatan kajian Jekel, Koller & Strobl (2012), terbukti bahawa pelajar lebih berminat untuk mempelajari mata pelajaran Geografi berbanding sebelum pelaksanaan GIS dalam PdPc. Selain itu, minat seseorang pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran Geografi juga turut berkurang jika cara PdPc dijalankan oleh guru subjek Geografi itu membosankan (Lateh & Muniandy, 2011a (Cohen, 1988).…”

AbstrakKemajuan teknologi dalam Pembelajaran dan Pemudahcaraan (PdPc) abad ke-21 amat dititikberatkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) selaras dengan Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013-2025. Senario kini, mata pelajaran Geografi di Malaysia semakin terpinggir khususnya bagi peringkat Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dan minat pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran ini turut semakin berkurang. Justeru, penggunaan Geographic Information System (GIS) dalam PdPc Geografi dilihat sebagai satu wadah baharu dalam meningkatkan minat pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran Geografi di sekolah. Dalam kajian ini reka bentuk penyelidikan eksperimen tulen digunakan yang melibatkan Kumpulan Eksperimen (KE); dengan intervensi teknologi geospatial dan Kumpulan Kawalan (KK); dengan kaedah konvensional dalam PdPc digunakan. Kajian ini turut menguji keberkesanan penggunaan GIS berasaskan modul GIS-KBR dalam meningkatkan minat para pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran Geografi. Hasil analisis ANCOVA satu hala pada aras signifikan .05 menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan skor ujian pasca bagi pemboleh ubah minat. Hasil dapatan turut menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi ujian pasca antara kumpulan KE dan KK. Tuntasnya, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pelaksanaan aktiviti GIS berasaskan modul GIS-KBR ini meningkatkan minat dalam kalangan pelajar Geografi berdasarkan pembuktian tahap minat kumpulan eksperimen yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan kumpulan kawalan.Kata kunci: geografi, GIS, modul GIS-KBR, minat pelajar, PdPc abab ke 21, teknologi geospatial GEOGRAFIA Online TM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 15 issue 4 (64-79) AbstractThe 21st century technology

“…There have been significant attempts to use game engines, game development tools, and game communities as a basis of research that falls within the general purview of GIScience in recent years [6]. Game-based GIS is known as one of the standard and efficient approaches to overcome the challenges associated with effective rescue missions [7]. Game-based GIS refers to the integration of GIS technology in gaming to create location-based games, where real-world geographic data are used to create the game environments.…”

“…Likewise, these games also provide sufficient insight for students (both in universities and schools) and allow the younger generation to practice fun games developed for disaster education in order to stimulate their interest and raise their awareness [8]. It is well understood that maps have always been an integral component of games as the contextual layer for a gaming experience [7,9]. Nowadays, GIS has become a necessary management information system in many organizations, especially in government decision-making departments [10,11].…”

The current research study aims to introduce the experience of implementing a serious game using the concept of game-based GIS approach for crisis management during earthquake disasters. In this study, we aimed to develop a game-based GIS approach and examine its efficiency for simulating earthquake rescue management in Tabriz city. In designing this game, typical scenario-based, game-based GIS methods and techniques were employed, and the proposed approach was applied to crisis management. To achieve this goal, we addressed the technical details regarding the development and implementation of the scenario-based and game-based GIS approach. Based on the results, game-based simulations can be considered an efficient approach for disaster simulation and can improve the skills of rescue teams. The outcome of this application is an intellectual game that almost all users at any age can play, and the game can challenge their ability to solve critical issues. The results are critical for explaining the effectiveness of rescue teams and crisis management facilities. As we intended to develop an approach for the simulation of earthquake disasters and emergency responses, we therefore conclude that the results of this study can also be employed to improve the skills of rescue teams and citizens for dealing with crises resulting from earthquake disasters. As a result of this research, the developed tool is published, together with this paper, as an open source and can be employed for any scenario-based analysis in other case studies. By presenting a-state-of-the-art approach, the results of this research study can provide significant contribution to further the development of GIScience and its applications for disaster and risk mitigation and management.
