Abstract
Mapwork.education: online adaptive system for cartographic education
Highlights
For that reason and for fully using the educational potential of maps, it is necessary to develop map reading and cognitively more demanding map skills in students
Distinguishing the main types of map skills, structuring them into a hierarchical cognitive model, and specifying their knowledge/operational components is fundamental for the development of effective learning and teaching systems
The research group from the Centre for Geographical and Environmental Education at Charles University (Czechia) reflected this need together with the new perspectives opened by the dispersion of new technologies into education and developed an online adaptive educational system Mapwork.education
Summary
For that reason and for fully using the educational potential of maps, it is necessary to develop map reading and cognitively more demanding map skills in students. Previous studies in the field distinguish three main types of map use skills, i.e., map reading, map analysis, and map interpretation, based on which individual operations with maps are classified. Distinguishing the main types of map skills, structuring them into a hierarchical cognitive model, and specifying their knowledge/operational components is fundamental for the development of effective learning and teaching systems.
