Abstract

Practicum Geographical information systems and remote sensing have become one of the basic competencies in the realm of skills in the geography learning process at the high school level The purpose of this study is to identify problems or obstacles faced by geography teachers in carrying out geographic information systems and remote sensing practicum activities in high schools in Wonogiri Regency this is a qualitative descriptive study with the use of random sampling. Data collection uses a questionnaire about the implementation of geographic information system practice and remote sensing to the teacher. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis techniques to analyze the factors that become obstacles in the application of geographic information system practice and remote sensing in high school. The result is the obstacles factor of geographic information system and remote sensing practicum in in high schools in Wonogiri is (1). Hardware devices that have not been installed software specifically for geography information systems and remote sensing The teacher has a low ability in the geography and remote sensing information system practicum skills and does not coordinate with the teacher or laboratory assistant for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) subjects (3) Insufficient time allocation for practicum and absence of geographic information system and remote sensing practice tests as evaluations

Highlights

Practicum of Geography Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing is considered important to improve the life skills of high school students because the use and processing of spatial data in the form of image data and maps using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods are often used both for government and private institutions as well as the general public
Life Skills regarding spatial data processing are very important because planning activities carried out by government and private agencies and by the general public have used spatial data as the basis for its determination, so that the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing methods become quite important for students.This is seen in the basic competencies of high school geography subjects where basic competencies regarding Maps, Geography Information Systems and Remote Sensing have two basic competencies in two different grade levels
The problem is that in order to carry out Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing practicums, 3 components must be fulfilled.First is the hardware in the form of a personal computer or laptop connected by the internet.The second is both software for geospatial data provider software such as google earth and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing data processing software such as the arc gis and er mapper,third is brainware, namely the teacher's ability to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Summary

Introduction

Practicum of Geography Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing is considered important to improve the life skills of high school students because the use and processing of spatial data in the form of image data and maps using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods are often used both for government and private institutions as well as the general public. The application of geographic information system practice and remote sensing at the high school level in Wonogiri district has not gone well.The application of practicum is still experiencing obstacles both in hardware, software and brainware components.
