This research intends to delineate how high school geography teachers in Taiwan view this collaborative and productive tool to enhance students’ content knowledge after the new curriculum standard advent. xcept the manipulative sophistication and prohibitive price of software, pedagogy time limitation and the instructor’s technological proficiency/faith, do those who(don’t) teach by GIS perceive it as appropriate and relevant to motivate geography thinking?he author interviewed ten samples qualitatively in the north areas and three experts, including seeds of Ministry of Education(MOE) masterplans since 2002. By convenience/snowball sampling with abstract criteria combines observation in two domains, then theoretical coded the protocols from transcripts. Here are the sentiment sequence—.Both” Humanity --Social talented class” and “Optional class” are proper occasions to facilitate “teaching with GIS”..Google Earth avoids the insurmountable barriers of true GIS so becomes a prior subsidiary while it is popular..Some schools apply for other financial allowance to purchase ArcView9.X or update the equipment..IGIS(WEBGIS) offers introductory /ultimate level environment..Teachers are conscious of the engaging and instrumental function from GIS, but geographical concepts are the most important issue compare to requisite skill learning.. Faculty consider modules of MOE masterplans as the refined supplement.
