[HTT24-09] Advanced aspects of GIS education in Taiwan

*Takashi Oguchi1 (1.Center for Spatial Information Science, The University of Tokyo)

Keywords:GIS education, Taiwan, Japan

Two major geography departments in Taiwan are those at National Taiwan University and National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei. Current situations of GIS education there were surveyed. Interviews on GIS education in high schools were also made. The results point to some advanced aspects of GIS education in Taiwan, which look useful to improve that in Japan. For example, their detailed GIS education in geography classes in high schools provides concrete information to develop such education in Japan in relation to the new high-school geography education system to be applied in 2022. This paper introduces some characteristics of advanced GIS education in Taiwan.
