Construction of spatial orientation meanings during an outdoor activity with use of dynamic screen-based spatial representations

Résumé

Using spatial representations like maps or graphs can be often challenging for both children and adults. Nowadays new kinds of spatial representations provided by digital devices create a new unexplored context of interacting with space and thus constructing spatial meanings. Even though many researchers argue that geospatial technologies are promising tools in supporting students’ spatial thinking, the research on the field remains limited. In this paper I discuss the results of a case study, which is a part of a broader study-in-progress, during which 3 12-year-old children used a GPS application to navigate physically in an unfamiliar space. The dynamic link between the digital representation and children’s embodied experience created rich opportunities for the development of spatial meanings. The results of the study, implicate that the integration of geotechnologies in carefully designed activities can support spatial thinking and conceptualization.
