Abstract
As more geography departments add geographic information systems (GIS) to their curricula in response to the growing demand of the marketplace, concern has been mounting over the content and methodology of GIS education. No consensus exists on how to make the connection between GIS education and GIS training at the undergraduate level. This article argues that hands-on, project-oriented teaching can offer an ideal approach to integrating GIS education and training. It presents a project-oriented GIS teaching experience as an instructional paradigm that can be used to ensure the balance between conceptual GIS learning and software-based, hands-on training in undergraduate GIS education.
