Teachers’ Perspectives on Teacher Training for Better Implementation of GIS in the Geography Classroom

Abstract: The perspective of German geography teachers was examined regarding their view on what university teacher training has to provide in order to improve the implementation of GIS in the classroom. This was based on the finding that there is only low implementation of GIS in geography classrooms at German schools, despite teachers seeing enormous potential in GIS usage in general.The results show that one of the eight main criteria that is important for the implementation of GIS from teachers' perspectives on the … Show more

“…Con el fin de aumentar las oportunidades laborales y científicas de los alumnos en el futuro, INVESTIGACIÓN DIDÁCTICA Muchos estudios previos han mostrado los SIG como una herramienta apropiada para la enseñanza de la Geografía. Entre las ventajas que se mencionan figuran la utilización de datos veraces y actualizados, ayuda a plantear preguntas de investigación, mejora el pensamiento espacial y geográfico, implica y motiva a los alumnos, potencia las habilidades tecnológicas, comprende mejor el territorio, promociona la resolución de problemas, usa la metodología del geógrafo y favorece el pensamiento crítico (Audet y Paris, 1997;Bednarz, 2004;De Lázaro y González, 2005;Favier y Van der Schee, 2009;Höhnle, Mehren y Schubert, 2015;Johansson, 2006;Viehrig, 2014). Los SIG son tecnologías clave para preparar a los estudiantes para ser los responsables de la toma de decisiones en el futuro (Kerski, 2008;Serral, Vinyoli y Pons, 2010) y parece, por tanto, algo muy cabal el implantarlos en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria.…”
