| Abstract | The characteristic of ESD as a new paradigm is that future prospects and viewpoints of global citizenship are required. GIS is a powerful set of tools to reveal phenomenon in a certain area and to help decision-making. Considering the features and functions of GIS, it is certain that this map tool is effective in ESD. To examine the possibilities of using GIS in ESD, the authors made an inquiry on usage of GIS in upper secondary schools. The focus was mainly on geography teachers in upper secondary school. Only a few of the respondents have used this tool in class. Some teachers pointed out the computer environment in school as a reason not to use GIS. On the other hand, some teachers recognized they cannot use GIS because of lack of their knowledge and skill. Many of them answered they neither know nor use GIS much, however three quarters of respondents answered that GIS is useful to high school geography education. Their answers revealed that the implementation of GIS in class is the status quo of teachers in Japan. Because of the curriculum, entrance exams or their daily work, teachers are too busy and have little time to absorb any new skills. These results indicated the obstacles of introducing GIS in schools. To install GIS in class and conduct classes of ESD, it is necessary in society to develop teachers who can understand them and utilize the tool. (Orig.). |
