GIS应用于基础地理教育的理论基础

20世纪90年代中后期以来，我国地理信息系统（GIS）的广泛应用，不仅改变了我们认识世界的视角，它也成为保持地理学科活力和实力的强有力支撑，GIS教育随之受到越来越多的重视。许多高等学校的地理、测绘和计算机等相关学科纷纷设立GIS专业，为社会培养了大量的GIS人才；为提高国民信息素养，GIS在基础教育中的普及被提到重要地位，2003年教育部新的地理课程标准历史性地将GIS纳入到高中地理新课程，为GIS技术应用到中学地理基础教育提供了契机。目前，我国基础地理教育与GIS的结合研究还处于起步阶段，基于这样的背景，本文对GIs应用于基础地理教育进行了探讨和研究，希望对中学地理教学的顺利实施、基础地理教育模式的改革提供一定的参考。

Since late 1990s, Geographic Information System （GIS） has widely developed and applied in China. It has not only changed our visual angle, but also has become the powerful support of holding the energy and strength of the Geography Subject. GIS education has therefore been more and more important. Many relative subjects in university such as geography, topography and computer science has established GIS, which all cultivated a great deal of intellectuals for modern society. GIS education in basic e- ducation has been put up to a high position for the sake of improving the people＇s information diathesis. In the year of 2003, the new Geography-Curriculum Standard issued by the Ministry of Education historically expanded GIS education from advanced education to senior school, which gives GIS the chance of applying to the basic Geography education in high schools. Nowadays, the research of GIS and basic geography education still stands in the starting phase. Based on this background, the thesis researches the GIS application of the basic geography education, and hopes it can supply some references for the favoring implement of middle schools＇ GIS education and the reform of basic education mode of Geography.
