Abstract

The practice of spatial thinking involves applying multiple spatial concepts during processes of reasoning, and it is a constant component of our daily professional and personal lives. Certain concepts such as location, scale, representation, and distance play particularly important roles in the teaching and learning of geographic information systems (GIS). As GIS is increasingly used by people without a geographic foundation of thinking spatially, identifying why and how to make spatial thinking more explicit can have positive learning outcomes.
