  1. Geographic Methods: Visual Analysis

    This article brings together texts that have a focus on analyzing visual representations, visual technologies, and the acts of viewing and of producing visual media, highlighting the differences between methodologies used and the theoretical work they are informed by or most linked with. ... An important turning point for visual analysis is the ...

  2. Geographic visualisation: lessons for learning and teaching

    Introduction. Geography has always been a visual discipline, unique in "the way it has relied and continues to rely on certain kinds of visualities and visual images to construct its knowledges" (Citation Rose 2003, p212).This project grew out of an interest in how we represent the world visually, as well as exploring the effectiveness of visualisation to enable students to investigate and ...

  3. Reading and interpreting visual resources in Geography

    Reading and interpreting maps. Maps are one of the geographer's key tools for representing and explaining spatial information, patterns and processes. Reading and interpreting maps is thus central to geographical education. To effectively read maps, students need to develop a range of interrelated skills: locational skills - using grid ...

  4. The role of visual representations in scientific practices: from

    The use of visual representations (i.e., photographs, diagrams, models) has been part of science, and their use makes it possible for scientists to interact with and represent complex phenomena, not observable in other ways. Despite a wealth of research in science education on visual representations, the emphasis of such research has mainly been on the conceptual understanding when using ...

  5. What Tools Do Geographers Use: Exploring Their Role In Geography

    1. Maps and Globes. Maps and globes are foundational tools in the field of geography. They provide a visual representation of the earth's surface, helping geographers to interpret and understand spatial patterns and relationships. As geographical instruments, maps offer a detailed view of specific locations, showcasing physical features like rivers, mountains, and forests, as well as human ...

  6. Geography and the visual image: A hauntological approach

    Abstract. This paper forwards a hauntological approach to the study of visual images in human geography, providing a nuanced understanding of what images can do: their power, meanings, and our responses to them. Like ghosts, visual images have an undecidable, 'in-between' status, haunting between material and immaterial, real and virtual.

  7. Learning by Drawing Visual Representations: Potential, Purposes, and

    The technique of drawing to learn has received increasing attention in recent years. In this article, we will present distinct purposes for using drawing that are based on active, constructive, and interactive forms of engagement.

  8. Full article: Of maps, cartography and the geography of the

    In this report, the map is defined as 'a representation or abstraction of geographical reality: a tool for presenting geographical information in a way that is visual, digital, or tactile'. Clearly, the map was seen at this time as a communication tool (technology) that includes multimodal ways of representation (art), without any explicit ...

  9. Photographic and Video Methods in Geography

    Introduction. Photographic and video methods (often referred to collectively as visual research methods) have undoubtedly gained increased prominence within many social science disciplines since the 1990s. This has also been true within the literatures of human geography, with a number of geographers having either argued for the significance ...

  10. Using visual images in geography

    The main uses of photographs in geography lessons are to: Teach photo interpretation skills. To help students to find out about people, places and geographical features. To encourage students to explore their own values and attitudes about people and places. Be a stimulus for geographical enquiry.

  11. Diagrammatic Representation of Geographical Data

    Diagram is another important form of visual representation of geographical data in which importance is laid on the basic facts of one selected element. In the diagram, data are represented in a very much abstract and conventionalized geometric form. All types of categorical and geographical data, including time series and spatial series data, can be easily represented in diagrams.

  12. Annotating diagrams, graphs or maps

    Annotating diagrams, graphs or maps. Diagrams, graphs and maps are visual texts that are fundamental to Geography. The construction of visual representations of geographical concepts and relationships supports students' developing understanding because they provide an easy-to-process structure to retrieve, and show, their knowledge (Vekiri, 2002).

  13. PDF The Importance of Visual Literacy for a Changing Geography

    Visual literacy in geography also requires spatial thinking, as the visual representations of reality using symbols are linked to geographical axioms such as spatial location, spatial ...

  14. Why Do Geographers Use Maps? An Exploration of Spatial Representation

    The Importance of Spatial Representation. One of the key reasons why geographers use maps is that they provide a way to represent spatial relationships in a way that is easy to understand. Spatial representation refers to the process of depicting the Earth's surface in a way that accurately reflects its physical and cultural features.

  15. Mental imagery scaffolding: The effects of detail richness and text

    The growing importance of 3D animations in current teaching approaches becomes increasingly apparent, offering an effective way to visualize complex spatial concepts and processes in geography learning through outstanding visual representation and details. However, the effects of detail richness and text load of 3D animation on learning about processes remain unclear. Addressing this research ...

  16. GIS (Geographic Information System)

    A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth's surface. By relating seemingly unrelated data, GIS can help individuals and organizations better understand spatial patterns and relationships. GIS technology is a crucial part of spatial data infrastructure, which the White House defines as "the ...

    Graphic Representation in Geography. GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION IN GEOGRAPHY. I. GEOGRAPHY as taught in the schools today, and as presented. in our modern text-books, is almost a new subject. One of the. features of the so-called new geography is the prominence given. to relief and to the various landscape forms. The surface of.

  18. The Importance of Diagrams, Graphics and Other Visual Representations

    In mathematics and science education, learners need to have the ability to work with both symbolic and visual representations (e.g., equations and diagrams) and to relate them to each other in ...

  19. The Pitfalls of Visual Representations:

    Despite the notable number of publications on the benefits of using visual representations in a variety of fields (Meyer, Höllerer, Jancsary, & Van Leeuwen, 2013), few studies have systematically investigated the possible pitfalls that exist when creating or interpreting visual representations.Some information visualization researchers, however, have raised the issue and called to action ...
