GIS and Problem Based Learning

Students are often so used to a single “right” answer, and are initially baffled by PBL-based strategies and tools that engage

those strategies such as GIS. Typically when I work with students using GIS, they ask me, “Is my map right?” In

response, I ask them a question: “Does your map help you understand the problem or issue, and help you answer the

questions being asked?” But, given time, they begin to understand that the issues they are grappling with are

complex, and there might not be a single correct answer. Certainly, their final set of maps is not the end goal, but a

means to an end in their enquiry-driven investigation.Joseph Kerski, ESRI
