Abstract

As Geoweb is continuously developing, today it is possible for the public to utilize geospatial information technology, whereas only a few experts could apply this technology in the past. The examples that utilize the geospatial information technology creatively in the field of education have been increasing. Google, USGS and NASA, etc. presented various strategies to attract participation from people as they construct the related web-sites and suggest practical examples so that the existing spatial data in public institutions can be utilized in the field of education. In this study, we presented the strategies that converged education and exploratory learning can be vitalized on the primary, middle and high schools by using geospatial information technology. We took a literature review of researches that geospatial information technology had applied in the field of education according to the changes of schools' environments, analyzed internal and foreign web-sites which applied geospatial information technology to the field of education, and finally presented the strategies for application of geospatial information technology in the field of education. The strategies we presented are divided into four parts: 1) construction of course modules, 2) construction of educational database based on geospatial information technology, 3) construction of authoring environments for course modules, and 4) provision of supporting services for vitalizing the education based on geospatial information technology.

지오웹의 발전은 공간정보가 과거 일부 전문가만이 사용할 수 있었던 것에 반해 일반인들도 누구나 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 기반을 만들어 놓았다. 교육현장에서도 이러한 공간정보 기술과 관련 자료들을 보다 쉽게 창의적으로 활용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 외국의 경우 구글을 비롯하여 국가적 차원의 공공기관에서 기 구축한 공간자료들을 교육목적에 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록 관련 사이트를 구축하고 활용사례를 제시하며, 참여를 유도하기 위한 다양한 전략을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초 중 고등학교 수준에서 공간정보를 교육에 활용하여 융합적이고 창의적이며, 탐구중심의 교육이 이뤄질 수 있도록 그 기반을 마련하고 이를 활성화할 수 있는 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 학교현장의 환경변화와 교육 분야에서 공간정보 활용에 대한 연구들을 조사하고, 해외의 공간정보기반 교육 사이트 분석 및 국내 공간정보분야 현황분석을 토대로 공간정보기반 교육을 위한 전략을 제시하였다. 전략은 구체적으로 첫째, 수업모듈 구축, 둘째, 학습용 데이터베이스 구축, 셋째, 공간정보기반 수업모듈 저작환경 구축, 넷째, 공간정보기반 교육 활성화를 위한 지원서비스 부분으로 나누어 제시하였다.
