Integrating Spatial Technology into Fieldtrips within Elementary Geography Education

Abstract: Thanks to the rapid development of spatial technology, people can now easily access global geographic information. Geography education in schools faces the need to integrate spatial technology with fieldwork. The purpose of this research is to combine geospatial information and fieldtrips to promote elementary-school students' learning in the national geography curriculum. During a GIS camp, students were taught to use Google Earth, Google Maps and desktop GIS. They were then guided to do fieldwork and mapping… Show more

“…Patterson [18] stated that the use of Google Earth in geography teaching improved students' geographic awareness, critical thinking, analysis and questioning skills. Huang [21], on the other hand, revealed in his study that integrating spatial technologies into field trips in primary education increased students' mapping skills and geographical knowledge. Nielsen et al, [12] examined the need for the use of geospatial technologies in K-12 curricula and how these technologies improve students' problem-solving skills.…”
