Resumo(s)
Teaching of critical spatial thinking in higher education empowers
graduates to effectively engage with spatial data. Geographic
information systems (GIS) and science are taught to undergraduates
across many disciplines; we evaluate how this contributes to critical
spatial thinking. The discipline of GIS covers the whole process of
spatial decision-making, but GIS modules often ignore the context
setting of spatial problems, and just cover the technical aspects of how
to use GIS software. We outline how some existing GIS practicals could
be improved to focus on the development of critical spatial thinking
skills, competences and abilities that are valuable to graduates.
