Spatial perception is formed throughout our entire lives. Its quality depends on our individual differences and the characteristics of the environment. A sketch map is one way of visualising an individual’s spatial perception. It can be evaluated like a real map, in terms of its positional accuracy, content frequency and choice of cartographic methods. Moreover, the factors influencing the sketch map and/or its individual parameters can be identified. These factors should be of interest to geographers, cartographers and/or (geography) educators. The aim of this paper is to identify and describe the factors that clearly affect sketch map quality, by conducting a systematic review of 90 empirical studies published since 1960. Results show that most empirical studies focus on individual differences more than on environmental characteristics or information sources, even though the importance of these overlooked factors, especially source map characteristics and geographical education, has been proven in most analysed studies. Therefore, further research is needed in the field of sketch map quality parameters, especially in the use of cartographic methods. This paper could serve as a framework for such research.

Mental map as a tool and an object of research in geographical education

Mental maps are an object of interest on the part of a number of academic disciplines, including geography education. The aim of this article is to discuss different concepts of mental maps in geography and pedagogical disciplines and to describe the possibilities of their use as an object and tool of geographical education. All of this is subsequently applied in a case study. From the methodological point of view, cartographic and statistical methods (aggregated mental map and geographical names frequency map) were used in order to assess the pupils’ knowledge (object) and to evaluate textbooks (tool). They enable a visual, spatial comparison of topographical terms pupils know and which appear in a textbook itself. As a result, we discuss how to use mental maps in geographical education theoretically and also practically. However, the conclusions of the case study have a limited validity (due to the limited sample), while they indicate important contexts for further development of the research.

Özet: Haritalar, mekânın, mekânsal ilişkilerin ve konum bilgisinin bireylerin zihninde inşa edilmesinde rol oynayan önemli teknik araçlardır. Bununla birlikte yaşanılan çevreden başlayarak bölgesel ve küresel düzeyde zihinlerdeki mekânsal örüntüleri belirlemek söz konusu olduğunda, bireyler tarafından çizilen taslak haritalar önemli birer kaynak haline dönüşebilmektedir. Taslak haritalar, bireylerin zihinlerinde inşa ettikleri mekânsal örüntülerin ve imajların birer yansımasıdır. Bu çalışmada, Sınıf Öğretmeni ve Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmen adaylarının Türkiye'nin çevresindeki ülkeleri kendi çizdikleri taslak haritalar üzerinde konumlandırma ve saptama düzeylerini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Sınıf Öğretmenliği ve Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği Anabilim dalı 1. ve 2. sınıflarında öğrenim gören 250 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmen adaylarının çizdikleri taslak haritalarda Türkiye'nin yakın çevresindeki ülkeleri saptama ve konumlandırma düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
