This study is to find a theoretical basis for the effective teaching-learning of the geographical concept through comparing two cognitive pshychological perspectives: Piaget's cognitive development stage theory and Vygotsky's theory with higher mectal function and zone of proximal development(ZPD). Piaget't theory of cognitive development stage has been empirically proved in the spatial concept development and provided a basis for geographical educational psychology. In spite of this contribution, it has its own limitation in that students cannot learn cocepts beyond their cognitive development stage. On the other hand, Vygotsky supposed that concept development has been done by teaching-learning. This study suggests that Vygotsky's theory gives more comprehensive thoretical basis for its effective teaching-learning about the geographical concept development.

In this paper, we describe two exploratory examples in the use of Augmented Reality (AR) for geographical visualization regarding refinement of visual content in geography textbooks and learning motivation of geography students. Currently, teaching and learning materials with AR technology and their utilization in the geography classroom have become a new topic in geographical research themes, and this trend has increased. Adequate development and utilization of geographical materials is an important starting point for smart education research in geography. This paper describes the system and software, and the implication of marker AR applications for teaching and learning geography in the classroom. For the AR applications to be utilized in geography education, two marker based AR examples, virtual globe and visualization of topographical features, are presented and their utilization aspects are discussed. Finally, from the discussion stated in this paper, it can be inferred that AR is useful for exploring geographical materials, and marker based AR will contribute to progress in spatial science and geographical education research.

This paper examines the aspects of development education in the Geography Syllabus in the State of NSW, Australia and geography textbooks developed by it. The aspects of development education in the Geography Syllabus and textbooks is as follows. Firstly, Development Education is implicitly described in terms of the difference of the quality of life and aid links in Geography (Mandatory) Stage 4 and Geography (Mandatory) Stage 5, but clearly in Geography Elective. Moreover, Development Geography is one of unit to learn deeply in case of Global Challenges in Stage 6. Secondly, in geography textbooks, development education is sequenced with learning of the quality of life in everyday life, understanding of diverse meaning of development and measure of development, and the role of individuals and organizations for reducing the global inequality. The implications of the findings is as follows. Firstly, geography curriculum needs to be consist of the difference of the quality of life in the middle school, and development geography in high school. Secondly, the major concepts of development education like development, measure of development and the aid etc. need to be described in the different views. Thirdly, development education needs learners to learn the interdependence and practice the global citizenship through learning of specific links of our country with others. Finally, geography textbooks should not describe the normative efforts for reducing global inequality, and treat individual practical cases as well as organizations like government and NGOs so that learners empathize with their value and attitude through individual practical cases.

본 연구는 전통적인 교사위주의 설명식 수업을 벗어나 인터넷을 학습에 보다 효과적으로 활용하는 방법을 모색해 보고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 인터넷을 통하여 정보를 수집한 후에 그 내용을 재구성하여 홈페이지를 구축한 후 실험수업을 실시하였다. 실험수업의 결과 전통적인 수업반보다 인터넷 홈페이지를 활용한 수업반 학생들의 학업성취수준이 훨씬 높게 나타났다. 한편 인터넷 홈페이지를 활용한 실험수업밥의 겨우 구조적 수업반에 비해 비구조적 수업반 학생들의 학습성취도가 더 높게 나타났으나 그 차이는 유의적이지 않았다. 또한 수업 흥미도, 만족도, 학습의욕 등에도 실험반 학생들은 상당히 긍정적인 평가를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 지리수업의 학습효과를 높이고 학생들의 흥미도를 높이기 위해서는 인터넷을 활용하는 수업형태가 바람직하다는 결과를 도출하였다. 특히 본 연구를 통해 앞으로 학생들의 학업성취도와 흥미도를 높이기 위해 인터넷을 수업에 활용하는 교수-학습설계의 개발이 필요함을 보여 주었다.

이 연구는 개념 및 개념학습의 의미와 가치를 평가해 보고, 기존의 지리교육 기본 개념에 대한 논의를 정리하여 현장 교사들의 기본 개념 인식과 비교한 후, 향후의 지리교육 내용 구성의 방향을 모색해 보았다. 지리교육의 개념은 지리적 현상의 작동 과정을 이해하는데 도움을 주는 개괄적인 관념으로서 관련 지식들을 인지구조 속에 붙들어 매어주는 역할을 한다. 현장교사들이 가장 중요하다고 인식하고 있는 기본개념은 인간-자연관계, 입지, 지역, 지도화, 지역적 차이, 문화 등이며, 이는 전통지역지리학에서 강조되어 온 개념들이다. 반면에 지역적 결합, 공간 및 공간관계, 장소, 지구사회, 이동 등의 개념은 교사들이 잘 이해하지 못하고 있는 개념으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 분석과 관련하여 주의를 기울여야 할 점은 지리학과 지리교육의 기본개념을 무차별적으로 혼용해서는 안 된다는 점이다. 학문적 성과와 교육적 성과는 다른 것이며, 이에 맞춰 지리교육의 교육적 효과를 높일 수 있는 구체적인 하위개념들이 개발되어야 할 것이다.

Map uses graphic language of dot, line and area to represent surface of the earth. Map has been adopted as tools for regional and cartography learning to improve graphicacy in geography education. Due to the rapid development in GIS and internet, practical use of maps has been extended in various study area. This Study is to develope web-based leaning materials for self-controled geography instruction. As learning materials for this aim, it has been constructed WebGIS for topography and thematic maps with boundary map of Chungbuk, digital map of Jochiwon(1:25,000), statistic data and field images. Function of WebGIS intend to improve skills on geo-information collection and spatial query, regional difference of spatial distribution. Individual learning using internet can make an improvement of learner centeredness and problem-solving. Finally, it will be expected to be suggest one of the education guide as blueprint in info-society.

구성주의 수업은 삶의 경험 혹은 나의 문제로 전환된 문제를 학습주제로 하여, 교사와 학습자, 학습자간에 상호성과 상보성이 전제된 대화화 협력을 통해, 맥락에 적합한 지식을 구성하는 활동이라 할 수 있다. 구성주의 지리교육은 지리학을 위해 지리적 지식을 구성하는 것이 아니라, 지리적 삶을 위해 지리적 지식을 구성하는 것이다. 이것은 지리적 맥락과 맥락의 구성에 충실할 때 가능해 진다. 방법론적으로는 생활 주변에서 볼 수 있는 지리적 사상을 학습대상으로 하여, 이들을 그림이라는 상징을 통해 학습자 스스로 맥락에 따라 구성, 재구성하는 과정 속에 지리적 지식이 구성되게 하는 것이다.

This study focused on the geographical concepts development and its zone of proximal development(ZPD) through the collaborative interaction. Among the conclusions are: 1) Students who have higher cognitive structure represented the Creator Seoul Metropolitan Area(GSMA) as a geographical concepts, not as a spontaneous concepts. The concepts is developed from concrete facts, subordinate element concept to basic element concept hierarchically. The most difficult concept that the learner should internalize was represented as the basic element concept. 2) Although ZPD of GSMA is individualized, it could be divided into 9 types. The ZPD was developed differently according to the qualitative differences how much more and how systematically represented the geographical concepts. The characteristics shown in this development procedure was that there was a quality change based on quantity extensive.
