Direct linkMcLaughlin, Jessica A.; Bailey, Janelle M. – Studies in Science Education, 2023
Myriad research in a variety of contexts shows spatial skills benefit students; however, they are not given enough attention in classroom instruction. In this review we systematically explore geoscience education literature focusing on spatial interventions to answer research questions on trends in spatial skills and other characteristics. We…

Cobb, Casey D. – Review of Research in Education, 2020
A robust body of geographic education policy research has been amassing over the past 25 years, as researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds have recognized the value of examining education phenomena from a spatial perspective. In this chapter, I synthesize 42 studies that examine education issues using a geographic information…

Butler, Alisha; Sinclair, Kristin A. – Review of Research in Education, 2020
Place is an inescapable aspect of daily life and is intimately linked to our life experiences. An expanding body of research has investigated how place shapes the "geography of opportunity" as well as students', families', and stakeholders' experiences in and around schools. While researchers have begun to investigate the spatial context…

Gluck, Myke – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1992
Describes a series of exploratory experiments that investigated information professionals' and geographers' use of geographic materials. Mental models used in the manipulation of geographic data are discussed; the improvement of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is addressed; and Spotlight, a new interactive tool for exploring maps, is…

Peer reviewedBaird, John C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1979
This article reviews two experiments on the mapping and planning of actual (campus buildings) and hypothetical (ideal town facilities) items in a two-dimensional space. Direct mapping (planning) techniques are preferred over the method of pair comparisons, especially for the actual environment. (See TM 504 879-880) (Author/CTM)

Peer reviewedLiben, Lynn S.; Kastens, Kim A.; Stevenson, Lisa M. – Developmental Review, 2002
Discusses how educating children to use maps for navigation may enhance wayfinding skills as well as general representation and spatial skills. Documents need for innovative educational curricula to meet challenges of teaching map navigation. Describes development and evaluation of "Where Are We?" curriculum to simulate real-world…
