Abstract: Abstract of Dissertation entitled Integrating GIS into the Geography Curriculum of Hong Kong Schools Submitted by Tse To Fun for the Degree of Master of Geographic Information Systems at The University of Hong Kong in April 2005 Geography involves the study of the relationships between people and places. The presentations, descriptions and explanations of the spatial information, patterns and processes of geography matters in the real world are complicated, so it is not easy for students to understand in an effective way. Therefore, maps are used to help the teaching of geography and help the students to understand the geography matter better. However, good maps are essential for the presentations but they are extremely deficient in Hong Kong. Therefore, the use of GIS can help to solve this problem. As GIS are powerful tools for automated cartography and extensive analysis of information about places, so it can enhance the understanding of geography of the students. This study is to integrate GIS into Hong Kong geography curriculum and use GIS as a tool to help students to develop the skills of thinking, questioning, finding information, expressing ideas, listening to others and valuing their contributions, developing a disposition to learn and a better understanding of geography matter. The findings of this study will indicate that using GIS may aid students in constructing concepts and in promoting understanding of geography matter, problem solving, experimental design and data analysis, and communicating findings to others. Using GIS in classroom may be an effective way of incorporating more spatial learning in Hong Kong secondary schools.
