We notice that GIS learning is newly appeared in the first chapter highschool koren-geography book which will become effective from 1996.
So It's natural for geography teachers and students majoring in geography education in teachers' college to feel strongly the necessity of havhg knowledge about GIS and acquiring basic skills to use this system, But the Dept. of geography education, which belong to the national Univ, has no financial aids, therefore we cannot ostablish GIS system for workstation, However, considering the importance of GIS in teaching geography in the future the intensity of social demands, or the difficulty of teachers' employment, we should emphasize and reflect the necessity of GIS learnig in teaching curriculum.
In this way, we can produce efficient teachers who can cope with this Information Age and comply with students' desires for GIS learning. On this current demandes and actual limitation, the Dept. of Geography Education thinks about establishment of some PC Ave/Inf, which is a little expensive than OSU MAP software or Idrisi that doesn't need an input unit like Digitiger or Scanner.
Otherwise, Students would feel lack of GIS learning or surrounding equipment. On the contrary, if they take Computer initiative subjects for GIS learning, or if they trear various softwares and surrounding equipments they can participate in the practical GIS project with ease.
As a whole, the GIS learning in the Dept. of Geography Education and in the Dept. of Geography is just in the first stage, and so is system establishment.
However, the GIS learning is widely accepted as an important tool throughout the Geography field, so we are now in the course of accepting students' desires for the GlS learning.
Basically, Students who are concerned is GIS learning should have a good stock of knowledge about general fields of geography study, for we have to consider manpower problems in teaching in University, or job-openings and also we have to be equipped with creativity to fix our own sphere, and at the same time we have to solve many problems for the efficient conduct of project achievement.
