“…Spatial Data Infrastructure geoportals have been shown to be effective in developing geospatial thinking [40][41][42]. Furthermore, there is an active field of research related to the use of Spatial Data Infrastructures in the field of sustainable development [7,[58][59][60][61] and environmental education [62].…”

In the field of environmental sustainability and landscape management, geospatial thinking is necessary. A good level of geospatial thinking is related to academic success in engineering degrees. It is relevant, therefore, to detect the possible deficiencies that university students may have in tasks related to geospatial thinking. This research presents the results of a 2014‒2019 multiyear study with agricultural engineering students, in which seven geospatial tasks were analyzed. The statistical analysis shows that geospatial tasks related to slope, stream/water flow, visibility, and relief interpretation are the best at predicting the final course mark. The present research provides quantitative data on the efficiency that four technologies have to reinforce geospatial thinking focused on each task. Augmented Reality is an appropriate 3D technology for geospatial tasks related to route search, stream/water flow, and elevation points. SketchUp Make 2017 and Autodesk 123D Make showed their potential to solve tasks related to terrain slope and visibility analysis. Spatial Data Infrastructure has given the best results in geospatial tasks related to the photointerpretation of the relief and with topographic profiles of the terrain. Our findings will help teachers to select the most appropriate geospatial tasks to include in their courses.

“…La teoría del juego aplicada a la Geografía (Martínez Cebolla at al., 2017), emplea la IDE de Aragón. También las iniciativas de educación ambiental en Polonia (Pokojski et al, 2018), consideran imprescindibles las IDE para un mejor conocimiento del territorio.…”

La creciente importancia de los datos como materia prima exige al docente prestar una mayor atención a los mismos. Los servicios y visores de las Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE), mantenidos por los organismos públicos responsables de ellos, ofrecen una gran riqueza de datos geográficamente referenciados o geodatos, lo que constituye un excelente recurso docente. Esos datos son libres, abiertos, ofrecen la ventaja de su calidad, interoperabilidad, transparencia, reutilización, facilidad de acceso y actualización, a veces en tiempo real, y con ellos, el estudiante puede alcanzar una comprensión del territorio más precisa. Se ha valorado la utilidad de su empleo a través de la técnica Delphi. Con ella, se ha reunido una gran riqueza de información aportada por expertos en IDE y usuarios (investigadores, técnicos y docentes), cuyo análisis ha permitido concluir que, a pesar del interés de los datos existentes en las IDE para la comprensión del territorio, existen barreras todavía que frenan su empleo, principalmente derivadas de su complejidad.

“…In ESD a major role is played by: a) knowledge of its goals and scope, b) the ability to connect facts, data and information from various sources, c) an understanding of the spatial interactions between the elements of the geographical environment, and d) noticing crucial spatial relationships (Angiel et al 2017). The perfect tools for facilitating all of the above are GIS (Geographic Information System) and Web GIS applications (Rahim et al 1999;Baker 2015;Pokojski et al 2018). A geography teacher who is aware of the importance of SD and ESD in human life and in the functioning of human and environmental systems should not be just a "transmitter" of knowledge about the natural environment, its values, and its connections with the other pillars of SD (society, culture and economy) (Olbrycht 2009).…”

The paper presents the topic of academic education for sustainable development (ESD). A diagnostic survey was made in a form of a questionnaire in three groups of respondents: active geography teachers, participants of postgraduate program preparing for teaching geography and undergraduate students majoring in geography. The conducted research revealed how the groups of respondents differ in regards perception and preparedness to use of SD and ESD in school geographical education
