A pilot study of adapting, validating and further developing a map skills model to improve the teaching and learning of map reading at primary and secondary school level

Different types of visual information sources play an important role in both the primary and secondary level of formal education.Of all science-related school subjects, geography is probably the one that makes use of the widest range of visual information sources, out of which maps convey a huge variety of geographical information.Maps can be considered as the universal language of geography as a school subject, their use is a basic and traditional method in geography lessons.However, it has not been explored thoroughly how map literacy and the process of map reading develop in students in our more and more digital world, and how these changes affect, can be successfully addressed and incorporated in the learning and instruction of map reading skills.

Abstract

Different types of visual information sources play an important role in both the primary and secondary level of formal education.Of all science-related school subjects, geography is probably the one that makes use of the widest range of visual information sources, out of which maps convey a huge variety of geographical information.Maps can be considered as the universal language of geography as a school subject, their use is a basic and traditional method in geography lessons.However, it has not been explored thoroughly how map literacy and the process of map reading develop in students in our more and more digital world, and how these changes affect, can be successfully addressed and incorporated in the learning and instruction of map reading skills.
