A Research on GIS Use in Geofraphy Education

1999年3月，日本文部科学省报告了在高中采用新型教学方法的必要性。基于这份报告。在地理教育领域，出版了新的教科书并将其用于新的教育方案，这一新的制度特别强调地理观点和概念，并有强烈的动机学习地理方法和技术。特别是，学生学习如何更有效地利用电子地图、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“学会学习”，应尽一切努力利用地理信息系统作为支持实用和专题学习技能的工具。在此背景下，本研究试图开发可用于新的学校教育方案的教育地理信息系统，并探讨地理信息系统在学校教育中的作用。具体而言，我们构建了面向学校教育的网络地理信息系统，开发了地理信息系统教学的核心课程，考察了学校教师学习地理信息系统的方法等

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
