基于GIS的现代地图学实习教改与创新

The Innovation of Modern Cartography Practice Teaching with the Support of GIS

地图实习是掌握现代地图学的重要教学内容和手段。本文通过分析现代地图学发展趋势与实习教学改革的必要性,在建构主义教学理论的指导下,设计了一个基于MapInfo Professional7.0软件平台的现代地图学实习教改方案。该教改方案服务于地理专业人才培养的总目标,在RS、GPS辅助支持下,利用该平台展示了现代地图具有的新特性,改变了传统地形图信息的提取与量算方法,实现了专题地图的数字化编制。教学表明,该教改方案不仅有效巩固了课堂教学内容,而且提高了学生应用地图、编制地图的能力与素质。

Cartography practice is a significant content and means in the teaching of modern cartography. By analyzing the trend of modern cartography and the necessity of practice teaching innovation, a modern cartography practice teaching innovation project is put forward based on the software of MapInfo Professional 7.0, based on to the constructivism teaching theory. The project directs at the aims of geography profession training. Supported by RS and GPS, it reveals new characteristics of modern map, changes the traditional method of information collection and computation of topographic maps, and realizes the digital compiling of thematic maps. Therefore, the contents of courses are consolidated by this project. Furthermore, teaching goals such as training students＇ abilities and attainments to use and compile maps are fulfilled by the project.
