Journal for Geographic Information Science
Geospatial Minds for Society
The perspective of German geography teachers was examined regarding their view on what university teacher training has to provide in order to improve the implementation of GIS in the classroom. This was based on the finding that there is only low implementation of GIS in geography classrooms at German schools, despite teachers seeing enormous potential in GIS usage in general. The results show that one of the eight main criteria that is important for the implementation of GIS from teachers’ perspectives on the integration of GIS in teacher training is especially challenging in the university context; however, concrete measures for the design of university and practical courses in teacher training can be derived easily.
