“…Particular attention is paid in Turkey and in the world to ecology education; there are a number of international (Chenoweth, Wehrmeyer, Lipchin,Smith & Gazit, 2007;Davis, 2013;de Wet, 2007;Dori & Tall, 1998;McNaughton , 2010;Miller, 2008;Misiaszek, 2011;Turner, 2011) and domestic (Akşit, Akşit & Kayacılar, 2012;Eryaman, Yalçın-Özdilek, Okur, Çetinkaya & Uygun, 2010;İstanbullu, 2008;Oğurlu, Alkan, Ünal, Ersın & Bayrak, 2013;Okur-Berberoğlu, Yalçın-Özdilek, Eryaman, Uygun & Çetinkaya-Edizer, 2013;Yardımcı, 2009) studies on this subject.…”

“…The budgets of TUBITAK projects are mostly high however there is a problem at sharing of the outputs of the projects (Okur-Berberoglu & Uygun, 2013a). The most remarkable result when we have considered literature review above is that the most of the publications' data are derived from the TUBITAK 4004 coded projects intended for students (Akşit et al, 2012;İstanbullu, 2008;Yardımcı, 2009). On the other hand one of the target group of 4004 coded projects is in-service teachers (TUBITAK, Call Paper, 2010, 3).…”

“…The use of the computer in classroom, during the lessons, and computer-assisted learning (Szilágyi & Szilágyi, 2013) offer the possibility for the students to explore varied problems, and to process actively the content (Harmon & Hirumi, 1996, as cited in Szilágyi & Szilágyi, 2013). It is recommended that these resources offer a certain degree of freedom, so that students can discover the information by themselves and develop their critical thinking ability (Aksit et al, 2012). Consequently, having been trained into problem-solving situations about explaining geographical phenomena and processes, the students learn actively (Esteves, 2012;Lache Moreno, 2011;Marchiș, 2008;Văcaru, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, students gain digital competences and abilities, which are defined in the national curriculum as key-competences (Dulamă & Roșcovanu, 2007;Dulamă, 2010;Galbin, 2015;Osaci-Costache, 2013;Stănilă et al, 2016). These competences are being developed in time, gradually, by exploring several different learning situations (Aksit et al, 2012;Dulamă & Roșcovanu, 2007;Dulamă, 2010;Semenov, 2005;Tardif, 1999).…”

In order to increase students' participation in learning activities, a significant role is played by the use of the computer in Geography lessons. The efficiency of computer-assisted learning involves correlation between several essential factors: the quality of online platforms and educational software, the use of appropriate teaching strategies and the creation of learning situations that enable students to learn actively. In this context, the aim of the paper is to observe and evaluate students' involvement in learning activities and their interest when various web applications are integrated in the teaching-learning process through which students discover information themselves and solve work tasks. We have chosen as a case study a Geography lesson for the eleventh grade students. In this lesson, we proposed to the students several learning activities based on two web applications, created in ArcGIS Online. In order to highlight the efficiency of these applications and cartographic support, a questionnaire was applied to the students, where they evaluated the degree of interactivity of these applications, their accessibility, usefulness, as well as their interest towards this type of learning activities.
