This book is an initiative presented by the Commission on Geographical Education of the International Geographical Union. It focuses particularly on what has been learned from geospatial projects and research from the past decades of implementing geospatial technologies (GST) in formal and informal education. The objective of this publication is to inform an international audience of teachers, professionals, scholars, and policymakers about the state of the art and prospects of geospatial practices (GPs) as organized activities that use GST and lessons learned in relation to geographical education. GST make up an advanced body of knowledge developed by practitioners of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), global positioning systems, (GPS), and digital cartography (DC). GST have long been applied in many different sectors; however, their first use in higher education began in the early 1980s and then diffused to secondary schools during the 1990s. Starting with GIS and RS, it evolved into a much broader context, as GST expanded to include GPS and DC with new communication technologies and Internet applications. GST have been used around the world as a combination of tools and special techniques to make research, teaching, and learning more effective.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the instructional use of GPS through instructional geocaching activities engages students and promotes achievement in a middle school social studies classroom. The impact of instructional geocaching on addressing the needs of students with various learning styles was also examined. In addition, the researcher identified student perceptions of geocaching activities and differences between recreational geocaching and instructional uses of geocaching. Pretest and posttest scores were used to collect quantitative data in two phases of the study. The experimental groups, who participated in the instructional geocaching activity to learn the content, and control groups, who participated in a traditional classroom activity to learn the content, were reversed in each phase. Findings revealed that the instructional geocaching activity produced significant achievement gains in the second phase of the study. However, no significant differences in achievement were found between students with different learning styles in either the experimental or control groups. In the third phase, a survey instrument was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data on student perceptions and engagement during an instructional geocaching activity. A significant difference in engagement during the GPS activity was found between kinesthetic and visual learners. However, student engagement was not found to be a significant predictor for student achievement during this study. From the survey data, three factors were determined to represent the student perceptions of the GPS activity: fun, perception of learning, and motivation. Furthermore, the qualitative data revealed that students enjoyed the hands-on and active learning experience that was provided by the instructional geocaching activity. Implications for educators who plan to integrate instructional geocaching activities into the curriculum are discussed. Recommendations for similar research with larger populations, longer treatment periods, and other subject areas are made. Suggestions are also included for future research on the relationship of instructional geocaching activities to other learning style theories and critical thinking skills.

Primary and Secondary education is a formative time for young students. Lessons learned before the rigors of higher education help to inform learners future successes, and the increasing prevalence of learning tools and technologies can both help and hinder students in their endeavors. K-12 Education: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications investigates the latest advances in online and mobile learning, as well as pedagogies and ontologies influenced by current developments in information and communication technologies, enabling teachers, students, and administrators to make the most of their educational experience. This multivolume work presents all stakeholders in K-12 education with the tools necessary to facilitate the next generation of student-teacher interaction.
