“…Kromě výše uvedeného má dle autora GIS ještě i vliv na lepší prostorové uvažování u žáků. O působení GIS na vědomosti a rozvoj kartografických dovedností pojednává i studie od Shina (2006) [17]. Autor na základě výsledků výzkumného šetření uvádí, že GIS pomáhá žákům při orientaci v mapách a taky, že při používání GIS zůstanou geografické vědomosti delší čas v paměti žáků.…”

“…Yet empirical research to support these ideas is limited in scope and scale. Within research that involves student use of software, scholars have focused on spatial thinking skills (Nielson, Oberle, and Sugumaran 2011) or map interpretation skills (Shin 2006) as learning outcomes, rather than the acquisition of GST knowledge itself. Meanwhile, an emerging area for research is how Web-based delivery platforms affect learning (Milson and Earle 2007;Songer 2010), important questions given the move towards cloud-based GST technologies, and yet another factor to be considered.…”

“…In a study conducted on the effectiveness of GIS in courses, Kerski (2003) concluded that in spite of reinforcing the standard-based skills and spatial analysis, the inquiry-oriented lessons with GIS did not consistently increase geographic skills. Shin (2006) also argued that it is not possible to insist that using GIS was the best or the only medium to teach geography subjects; rather, education with GIS has a potential student learning that most other tools do not have. Some other research pointed out the importance of methods which will be applied during the process of education with GIS, and in the case of choosing wrong educational methods, GIS in education may result in failure of student learning (King, 1991;Walsh, 1992;Wanner & Kerski, 1999;Johansson, 2003;Baker & White, 2003;Bednarz, 2004).…”

“…Numerous studies done on GIS in education in the international context indicated that in addition to increasing student and teacher motivation, GIS are very effective tools for incorporating project-based teaching and learning, and promoting students' geographic skills such as thinking geographically, analyzing and synthesizing spatial data, map reading and interpreting (Tinker, 1992;Geography Education Standards Project [GESP], 1994;Palladino, 1994;Audet & Abegg, 1996;Lemberg & Stoltman, 1999;Pottle, 2001;Shin, 2006). Tinker (1992), Palladino (1994), and Audit & Abegg (1996), who were the leading academicians, conducted the first research on education with GIS and underlined the positive relationships between education with GIS and the development of spatial skills of the students.…”
