GIS In-Service Teacher Training Based on TPACK     

《The Journal of geography》2012,111(3):108-119

Abstract

This article introduces the geographic information systems (GIS) in-service teacher training, focusing on the intersection of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) for successful implementation of GIS in the classroom. Eleven social studies teachers in Georgia learned GIS technologies, inquiry-based learning, and social studies so that they could create technology-enhanced and inquiry-based lessons using GIS technologies. This article reports participating teachers’ opinions and attitudes of the TPACK-based GIS training. It also reports useful pedagogical methods of introducing GIS technologies to students and additional support for teachers to help them use GIS in their classrooms more often.  相似文献   

How to Design and Present Texts to Cultivate Balanced Regional Images in Geography Education     

《The Journal of geography》2012,111(4):143-155

This article examines possibilities associated with the cultivation of balanced regional images via the use of simple methods. Two experiments based on the primacy effect and the painting picture rule, or visual depiction of regions, were conducted. The results show significant differences in the formation of regional images. More specifically, the presentation of positive prior knowledge and the depiction of regional aspects with strong visual cues led to the formation of regional images that were more balanced. In conclusion, these simple teaching methods are effective for cultivating balanced regional images, an important element of geography education.  相似文献

区域铁路公司是铁路运输市场组织的重要模式之一, 也是铁路改革中的焦点问题之一。 基于经济地理学功能区(结节区)的网络分析方法, 对1991～2005年我国城际铁路货流的空 间组织特征进行了系统分析, 发现我国铁路货物运输联系形成了较为稳定的功能区划, 形成 北京、广州、上海等城市枢纽节点。基于合理运输组织和减少交易成本的组织理念, 提出建 立东北、华北、西北、华中、华东、中南和西南7大区域铁路公司。该研究可以为铁路市场 化改革提供决策支持。  相似文献   

Lens on Climate Change: Making Climate Meaningful Through Student-Produced Videos     

《The Journal of geography》2012,111(6):235-246

Learning about climate change is tangible when it addresses impacts that can be observed close to home. In this program, sixty-four diverse middle and high school students produced videos about locally relevant climate change topics. Graduate and undergraduate students provided mentorship. The program engaged students in research and learning about climate change, and sparked their interest in science careers. Evaluation results showed that students were highly motivated by the experience, developed a genuine interest in their science topic, learned about the scientific process, and developed twenty-first century skills. The program provided a unique and authentic approach to science learning and communication.  相似文献   

Demographic Transition: Threat to Developing Nations     

《The Journal of geography》2012,111(3):164-171

Abstract

As computers become commonplace in the nation's schools, interactive maps are finding their way into the geography classroom. Students can use electronic atlases to access information as well as use authoring software to produce their own interactive maps. Does this change in media correspond to better geography education for our children? This article addresses whether using interactive maps for gathering and presenting information can have a positive influence on learning geography content. A two-week experiment was conducted in five 7th grade classrooms. Students in four of the classes researched and produced map products using both traditional and computer-assisted techniques. The fifth class was a control group. A pretest and two post-tests were given to quantitatively assess student learning after each project. Also, students were given a qualitative questionnaire to determine their attitude towards the different techniques. Quantitative results of the study indicate that there was no significant difference in student post-test performance after using each of the techniques, but qualitative results suggest that students prefer using the computer techniques over the traditional methods for gathering and presenting information.  相似文献

地震安全性评价制度改革的问题与展望     

黎益仕  张红  余积明  张令心  林碧苍  赵凤新 《震灾防御技术》2021,16(4):781-788

地震安全性评价制度是地震灾害预防制度的重要组成部分,自中华人民共和国成立之初演化发展至20世纪90年代基本成形,并纳入《中华人民共和国防震减灾法》。在深化“放管服”改革中,国务院先后取消了地震安全性评价资质许可和结果审定的行政审批事项,提出施行区域评估。在建立新制度过程中,面临着审批部门须承担委托开展地震安全性评价责任、区域性地震安全性评价与地震小区划及地震区划同质化、地震安全性评价结果质量监管困难、重大建设工程“应评未评”“评而未用”等问题。本文在分析地震安全性评价制度历史变迁、改革现状的基础上,提出地震安全性评价制度改革的展望,以期为地震安全性评价制度改革和《中华人民共和国防震减灾法》《地震安全性评价管理条例》修订提供参考。  相似文献
