• Curriculum framework • Design principles • Instructional model for the
development of inquiry learning activities with spatially-enabled learning technologies
• Educative materials to support teacher enactment
Curriculum Design Approach for Geospatial Learning
![Page 4: A Geospatial Curriculum Design Approach With Web GIS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56815f21550346895dcdee9a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1. Design curriculum materials to align with the demand of classroom contexts.
2. Design activities to apply to diverse contexts.3. Use motivating entry points to engage learners. 4. Provide personally relevant and meaningful examples. 5. Promote spatial thinking skills with easy to use
geospatial learning technologies.6. Design image representations that illustrate visual
aspects of scientific knowledge.7. Develop curriculum materials to better accommodate
the learning needs of diverse students.8. Scaffold students to explain their ideas.
Design Principles

1. Elicit prior understandings of lesson concepts.
2. Present authentic task.
3. Model task.
4. Provide worked example.
5. Ask learners to perform task.
6. Scaffold task.
7. Ask learners additional questions to elaborate task.
8. Review activity concepts.
Spatial Learning Design Model

• Tectonics investigations for curriculum enhancement
• Javascript Web GIS to be platform independent (i.e. tablets, laptops, cellphones)
• Interface design and customized data display for middle school learners
• Visualizations and tool features designed to enable spatial thinking
• Content and pedagogical supports for teachers to implement geospatial learning investigations
