A Conceptual Framework for Facilitating Geospatial Thinking
In this article we investigate whether a geospatial task-based framework can be conceptualized and developed to assist in structuring (in a grade-related context) a conceptual framework that could help build a vocabulary and scope and sequence structure for the geospatial thinking that makes the world and its activities legible to us. Our argument is presented in conceptual terms, but we offer preliminary evidence, based on work with local third-…
Geospatial Concept Understanding and Recognition in G6–College Students
As geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly implemented in K–12 classrooms, the risk becomes one of teaching “buttonlogy” or simply how to point and click to complete certain functions. Through the development of a geospatial concept lexicon and corresponding geospatial task ontology along with simple concept-based tasks completed by students in different grade levels, this research has illuminated grade-related differences in geospa…
Wayfinding Behavior
The metaphor of a "cognitive map" has attracted wide interest since it was first proposed in the late 1940s. Researchers from fields as diverse as psychology, geography, and urban planning have explored how humans process and use spatial information, often with a view to explaining why people make way-finding errors or what makes one person a better navigator than another. But there has also been an intense debate among biologists over whether an…
Analytic Research, Positivism, and Behavioral Geography
Although we acknowledge the debt that mainstream behavioral geography owes to positivism, our central argument here is that much of that research tradition has now transcended its positivist roots and that we should preserve only those virtues of analytic discourse that appear to be of enduring value. In this paper we examine the strengths and weaknesses of analytic behavioral research and compare the perspective of this research with the viewpoi…
On Laws in Geography
Although many geographers have discussed philosophical problems related to "explanation''and "theories''in geography, few have attempted to examine the question of the types of laws and their occurrence in the discipline. It is suggested here that at least five different types of laws may be formulated by geographers, such as Cross-Section, Equilibrium, Historical, Developmental, and Statistical. By following principles of logical reasoning about…
