The emerging field of using geospatial technology to teach science
and environmental education presents an excellent opportunity to
discover the ways in which educators use research-grounded
pedagogical commitments in combination with their practical
experiences to design and implement effective teacher professional
development projects. Often missing from the literature are
in-depth, explicit discussions of why and how educators choose to
provide certain experiences and resources for the teachers with
whom they work, and the resulting outcomes. The first half of this
book will enable science and environmental educators to share the
nature and structure of large scale professional development
projects while discussing the theoretical commitments that
undergird their work. Many chapters will include temporal aspects
that present the ways in which projects change over time in
response to evaluative research and practical experience. In the
second half of the book, faculty and others whose focus is on
national and international scales will share the ways in which they
are working to meet the growing needs of teachers across the globe
to incorporate geospatial technology into their science teaching.
These efforts reflect the ongoing conversations in science
education, geography, and the geospatial industry in ways that
embody the opportunities and challenges inherent to this field.
This edited book will serve to define the field of teacher
professional development for teaching science using geospatial
technology. As such, it will identify short term and long term
objectives for science, environmental, and geography educators
involved in these efforts. As a result, this book will provide a
framework for future projects and research in this exciting and
growing field.
