The purpose of this paper is to develop a courseware based on GIS (Geographic Information System) for improving visual and spatial learning efficiency of geography learning. The existing coursewares are not easy to encourage the learners in learning motivation, because these provide only the visual information using simple texts or imamges to the learners. To overcome these constraints, our courseware using GIS that can support spatial information can control the attribute information of map. In this paper, we define the courseware as the geography learning system. This courseware system enables the learners to take the perfect learning and the repetitive learning through the feedback after evaluating the learning degree. Also using geography learning application modules we implemented, the learners can participate directly in learning as well as search information in WWW.

1980년 후반부터 지리에서 과학적 탐구를 지원하는 학습도구로써 GIS의 잠재성을 모색하기 시작하였다. 이후 지리교육에서 GIS의 유용성, 지리교육에 GIS를 적용하는데 해결해야할 문제들, 지리교육에 적용할 때 필요한 접근방법, 다양한 학습 모형 개발에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 그리고 최근 Internet GIS 기술이 개발되면서 Web을 통한 학습 자료의 개발이 이루어지고 있다.(중략)

This study suggests that the contents and methods focusing on the leamer's geographical experience of everyday life and environments, are very effective for teaching and teaming in geography subject matter. The contents have to be selected and structurized from private geographies about their region of everyday life for teaming abstractive and scientific concepts of geography. Scientific concepts of geography, i.e. geographical concepts become 'scope'for selecting the contents and these systematic structure substitutes 'sequence'. The criteria by which selected contents of teaching and teaming based on everyday life may consist of three elements: region as leamer's place for everyday life; concrete experience of the place; and leamer's changing geographical experiences.

It was essential to develop the DB-type teaching and teaming material for geography instruction using a method of ICT. The DB-type teaching and learning material was considered as a alternative in solving the problems of web-based geography instruction. Accordingly, in this study, the geography image DB program as developed, and based on this program the CD-ROM called GEO-DB, having the function of electronic dictionary of geography image for geography teaching and teaming was made. The GEO-DB was composed of 3,060 geography images collected by teachers and learners. The GEO-DB was made to be used simply by teachers and learners. Especially, the portfolio function was Included in the GEO-DB, and that was focused to the instructional system design of teacher and the self-directed teaming ability development of learner. Teachers and learners using this GEO-DB assessed that because the GEO-DB had the easiness of use, the speed of reference and the unlimitedness of extension, it could enlarge the possibility of using a method of In, and it could contribute to the development of geography teaming ability and the change of geography teaming attitude.

본 연구는 지리교육에서 이루어지는 지역에 대한 학습 내용을 구성하기 위한 연구이다. 본 연구의 출발점은 우리나라 교육과정에 따라 진행되는, 지역에 대한 학습이 가지는 문제점과 지역에 대한 개념 형성과정에 작용하는 학생들의 지역 인식 특징에 대한 관심이었다. 학생들의 지역에 대해 인식 조사 과정에서 중간적 수준의 지역을 설정할 필요성을 발견하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안하는 지역에 대한 학습의 틀은 지역의 본질적 특성을 바탕으로 교육의 주체인 학생과 교사의 인식이 반영된 내용으로 구성되었다. (중략)

정보화시대의 도래와 함께 급변하는 정보의 홍수 속에서 학생들이 학교에서 학습해야 할 지식의 양은 방대해진 반면에 미래의 변화하는 상황에 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 다양한 능력을 지닌 인재들에 대한 수요는 더욱 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 미래의 사회가 필요로 하는 인간상을 구현하기 위해 많은 양의 지식을 가르치는 암기와 훈련 위주의 전통적 교수-학습방법을 탈피하고 학습에 필요한 핵심적 요소를 체계적으로 구조화하여 학습자 스스로 사고하여 문제를 해결하는 능력과 창의적 사고를 배양시키는 교수-학습방법의 필요성이 부각되고 있다.(중략)

In this study the meaning and necessity for self-regulation in managing and organizing the national curriculum is researched in order to reflect the reality that the tide of regionalization appears apparently with globalism. Hwacheon is chosen and applied as an example region for selecting and forming a new learning content in geography education and teaching and learning that content. The regional geography should be learned in high schools according to the approach of regional textbooks being made and used now in primary and middle schools, and the contents of textbooks should be properly reorganized in accordance with the students' school ages rather than organized simply with enumerating geographic facts in a row. And the contents should be organized centering on the learners' daily living sphere. In addition, teaching-learning method should be taken into consideration according to the scale of the regions. Consequently, in this study small-scaled area was chosen as a learning content, laying stress on daily lives within the living zone, and therefore field work is considered as a learning method.

It is increasingly clear that student mastery of concepts and skills in geographic education is based on a complex set of variables. Sex and gender are the key variables. Much has been written about biological sex differences in learning, but less attention has been paid to the impacts of socio-cultural gender on learning geography. As such, the aims of this paper are two-fold. First, to examine theories which seek to explain why males and females might differ in their geographic and spatial knowledge or skill. Second, to examine the extent of sex differences and gender traits in the geographic learning. The results of study illustrate clearly that there are more similarities than differences between the sexes. Therefore, there are significant gender differences between the preferences of regions, contents, activities in the secondary geographic learning. The results also provide insights into improving contents and method of geographic education.

Recently, the geographic information system(GIS) is generally used in various fields with the development of information and communication technology, with expansion of its applications and utilization scope. Especially, utilizing GIS is expected to have positive effects on the geography learning and more helpful for the geographic information observation compared to the picture or 2D based media. The effective visualization of complex geographic data does not only take realization of its visual information but also increases the human ability in analysis and understanding to use the geographic information. In this paper, we examine a method to develop the geography learning contents based on the technology with augmented reality and GIS, and then we have a case study for various kinds of visualization techniques and examples to use in geography learning situation. Moreover, we introduce an example of the manufacturing process from the existing GIS data to augmented reality based geography learning system. From the above, we show that the usefulness of our method is applicable for effective visualization of the three-dimensional geographic information in the geography learning environment.

This study aims to inquire into experience of geography teachers participating in a teacher learning community based on the grounded theory methodology. Participation observation was conducted on one of geography teacher learning communities. The total of 11 research participants were selected to conduct in-depth interviews. The data collected were analyzed by the coding method proposed by Strauss and Corbin(1990, 1998). In open coding, 125 concepts, 43 sub-categories and 17 categories were drawn and in axial coding by paradigm model, phenomenon, conditions, action/interaction and consequences turned out. In selective coding, the participants were classified into four types and the condition/consequence matrix was developed. As a result of the analysis, first, participation, obstacles and continuous participation factors of geography teachers in the teacher learning community could be understood from multi-dimensional aspects. Second, principles of the collaborative teacher learning and the factors promoting collaborative teacher learning were established. Third, the professional development of geography teachers through teacher learning community could be understood.
