Map skills and geographical knowledge

Abstract

Education proves more efficient when students acquire procedural knowledge in addition to declarative knowledge. Procedural knowledge offers opportunities for more and different kinds of achievement, because this kind of knowledge is more flexible than declarative knowledge. Geographers at the Free University in Amsterdam have developed a geography programme that systematically trains students in declarative as well as procedural knowledge. Map skills play an important role in geographical procedural knowledge. This paper reports on a study which investigates the ability of students in the first year of secondary education to use different types of map skills.
