Applying Bloom’s Taxonomy to Geoinformatics Education

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Abstract This article explores the practical application of Bloom’s Taxonomy within the field of Geoinformatics, offering detailed examples at various proficiency levels within each of its three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. Bloom’s Taxonomy, initially developed in the 1950s by Benjamin Bloom and colleagues, classifies educational objectives into these domains, providing a structured approach to designing curricula, assessing student progress, and cultivating comprehensive learning experiences. In Geoinformatics, where spatial data is of […]

Exploring the Subfields of Geoinformation

Some other thought: “Geoinformation” is the overarching term that encompasses all the fields related to the collection, management, analysis, and dissemination of geographic information. Under “Geoinformation”, we have several subfields: Geographic Information Systems (GIS): A system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information. GIScience (also known as geospatial science or geoinformatics): The scientific study of the principles and methods used in GIS, including geographic concepts, data structures, algorithms, and software used in GIS,

An Overview of Geographic Information Systems, GIScience, Geomatics, Geoinformatics, and Geoinformation Technology

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information. This can include data such as maps, satellite imagery, and demographic information. GIS allows users to create, edit, and analyze spatial data and create visual representations such as maps and 3D models. GIScience (also known as geospatial science or geoinformatics) is the scientific study of the principles and methods used in GIS. It encompasses the study of geographic concepts,

Definition of GIS

GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems, but the “S” is increasingly being used to stand for science and studies as well. Geographic Information Science, and Geographic Information Studies are used increasingly. No universally agreed-upon definition has been put forth. Surprisingly, a number of GIS texts do not even attempt to define the term. Traditionally, GIS is a computer-based system for collecting, managing, analyzing, modeling, and presenting geographic data for a wide range of applications. Geographic

Cartography

Cartography has been defined by the International Cartographic Association as “the art, science and technology of making maps, together with their study as scientific documents and works of art.” It has also been defined as “the production—including design, compilation, construction, projection, reproduction, use, and distribution—of maps” (Thrower, 2008, p. 250) The term geographic cartography is frequently used to distinguish the kinds of maps that geographers use in world and regional studies to distinguish it from
