초록

지리학은 오랫동안 자연과학과 인문과학을 연결하는 역할을 수행해왔기에 학문 간의 통합적 시각으로서의 특징을 갖는다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 지리학의 통합학문으로서의 역할에 기초하여 환경교육에 접근하는 통합교육과정의 효과를 먼저 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 바탕으로, "에잇틴마일 크릭의 환경 연구"라는 제목으로 8학년을 위한 일곱 차례의 90분간 수업을 위한 수업 안을 구성하였다. GIS는 자녀교육을 보다 학습자 중심의 교육으로, 보다 적극적인 학습이 이루어지게 하고, 또한 우리가 살고 있는 삶을 중심으로 하여 실생활과 밀접한 학습이 가능하도록 하는 중요한 역할을 감당할 것으로 기대되며, 이를 통해 지리학을 중심으로 하는 다학문간의 통합적 시각을 강화하고 활성화할 것이다.

Geography has played a role of serving as a bridge between the natural and social sciences for long time and can be an interdisciplinary framework. In this research, the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary approach centering on a geographical perspective in environmental education is presented. On this basis, a syllabus for seven 90-minute classes for the 8th grade is established under the topic of "Studying the Environment of Eighteenmile Creek." This interdisciplinary framework will be strengthened and vitalized through GIS, which plays an important role to make the geographic and environmental education more student-centered, active, and relevant to the world where we now live.
