Using Maps to Promote Spatial Literacy in Environmental Education
Unformatted Document Text:  and scientific reasoning and mathematics competencies (Clements et al., 1997), providing opportunities for students to practice these skills becomes important to their future success in science careers. In this study, students with higher spatial ability scored higher on the unit test and quizzes. Mapping technologies incorporate spatial visualization tasks using meaningful content into the science curriculum and are a way to engage all students in spatial reasoning and problem solving that are important to their future success in these fields. Mapping technologies have the potential to significantly enhance the teaching and learning of earth/environmental science concepts by improving problem solving, spatial data analysis, and supporting interdisciplinary connections.
