GIS Education Research

GIS in education research has historically attempted to document effects in one or more trend areas:

Student learning and outcomes
Educator professional development (training)
Educational software development or implementation

The majority of these studies were undertaken as a part of a graduate research project. A smaller portion of this documented effort has come from grant-funded initiatives. Consult the bibliography below for detailed information.
