• “Many students of
geography assert that
there is no subject
that has done more
to broaden their
intellectual outlook
and to deepen their
appreciation of
nature and life
generally than has
the study of
geography.”

“I’m not a geographer.
Why should I care?

geography.org.uk 1 Reading for trainee teachers and NQTs The value of geography (Extract from: Day, A. ‘Geography: Challenges for its next century’, Teaching Geography, April 1995) ‘Geography - along with history - has a central role to play in helping to develop articulate, objective and informed citizens. Schools have never been (could never be!) simply about fitting students for the world of work. The broad and balanced curriculum means equipping the twenty-first century citizen to become a fully effective and responsible participant in local, national and global communities. Participatory democracies have to be worked at, and the preparation comes to a large extent from the content and approach of subjects like geography. But the strongest justification for retaining geography and active geographers is the type of world we and our successors will inhabit in the twenty first century. As demographic and resource pressures intensify; as environmental and ecological issues become more critical; as conflicts of land- use multiply; and as the need to manage and plan the increasingly complex web of human and environmental interactions over the surface of the planet become more urgent, then geographers should increasingly be at the forefront of analysing what's going on, explaining why, and proposing alternative strategies with an accountant's precision in detailing the costs and benefits of each possible scenario. I do not think we need to be pessimistic when we consider the world we inhabit in the future - much will be positive and of benefit. It would be pessimistic, however, to assume that geographers will not be fully employed in advising the decision-makers of the likely environmental impact of their decisions in human, physical and regional dimensions. There is, however, an intervening stage which is necessary for the scenario above to become a possibility, and that is for general acknowledgement of the contributions geography can make to become recognised and accorded value. At the moment I do not feel that this is the case. Geography is either deemed to be "valuable" - because it informs you where places are and what they are like; or "interesting" - because it deals with topical issues such as rain forest destruction. At year 9 parents' evenings it is nearly always a combination of these two reasons which makes parents consider the subject a reasonable one for their daughter or son to pursue at GCSE. And 1 guess I go along with them as I stress the importance of a student being interested in a subject to provide the necessary motivation to obtain a good grade at the end of the course. But if I talk about the "value" of the subject, it is often narrowly understood in terms of its value to the tourism industry or, at a stretch, cartography. We are hard-pressed to come up with any other areas in which geography, as it is popularly perceived, is put into direct practic ...

Through review of individual questions (assignments) in a Quest-Based GIS course, I will ascertain the degree to which each provides a "satisfactory" learning experience as viewed by the learners. A final survey will evaluate learner overall satisfaction. I will also monitor time-on-task, pacing, and timing of quests, selection of optional quests, textual analysis of answers, and other course-related statistics and correlate them to final grades.

Learner Motivation and Effectiveness of a Quest-Based Learning GIS Course

Michael DeMers

Applied geography has enjoyed a resurgence since the increased availabilty of geospatial software and the advancement of an ever-increasing sophistication of these analytical tools designed to solve complex geospatial problems. These advancements have quickly been translated into coursework at colleges and universities – often adopted wholesale into complete applied geography programs throughout academia. One unintended consequence of this adoption is that much of the conceptual content responsible for the development of these tools is not covered in the applied geography coursework. In many cases the conceptual frameworks were chosen more out of expediency rather than geographical foundations, thus leaving the applied geography student with the misconception that the fundamental geographic underpinnings upon which the software is based, are thoroughly understood and extensively tested. A direct result of this is that students in applied geography programs often employ the tools with little or no understanding of their limitations for modeling real geographic processes. I propose that one aspect of an applied geography curriculum must include the study of the underlying principles upon which the software is based, and perhaps more importantly, the study of concepts that were abandoned in the early days of tool development. While this is obvious for programs that emphasize the more theoretical aspects of geography, I argue that it is equally important for those who use the tools so they are aware of the fundamental limitations of the results derived from analysis.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
