A Research on GIS Use in Geofraphy Education

1999年3月，日本文部科学省报告了高中需要新型教学方法。根据这份报告。新教科书的出版和新教育项目的使用在地理教育领域，这一新体系特别强调地理观点和概念，有强烈的动力去学习地理方法和技术。特别是，学生学会更有效地利用地图进行远区域分析等，并被要求获取和使用地理信息。随着教育目标从“获取知识”转向“学会如何学习”，应尽一切努力使用 GIS 作为支持实践和主题学习技能的工具。鉴于此背景，本研究试图开发可用于新学校教育计划的教育GIS，并检验GIS在学校教育中的有用性。具体包括构建学校教育互联网GIS、开发GIS教学核心课程、探讨学校教师GIS学习方法等。

In March 1999, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan reported on the need for new types of instructional methods in high schools. Based on this report. new textbooks were published and used in new education programsIn the field of geography education, this new system placed special emphasis on geographical perspectives and concepts, and there is strong incentive to learn about geographical methods and techniques. In particular, students learn to more effectively utili2e maps far regional analyses, etc., and be required to obtain and use geographic information. With educational goals shifting from "acquisition of knowledge" to "learning how to learn", every effort should be made to use GIS as a tool for supporting practical and topical learning skills. Given this background, this study attempted to develop the educational GIS that could be of use in new school education programs and examine the usefulness of GIS in school education. Concretely, we constructed the Internet GIS for school education, developed the core-curriculum for GIS teaching, examined the GIS learning method for school teachers and so forth
