摘要

本研究的目的是确定是否以及在多大程度上可以通过结合play - doh®和LEGO®以及地理空间技术(特别是无人机)的动手游戏来改善学生的地理概念学习。项目团队在密歇根州的Comstock中学进行了为期六个月的双周合作教学，包括课堂活动，如绘制心理地图，在水盒中创建模型景观的等高线，从2D地形图构建3D景观，建造和操作小型无人机等等。对比前后的测试结果显示，学生的总分提高了14%，这在统计学上是一个显著的进步。

Enhancing Middle School Learning about Geography and Topographic Maps Using Hands-on Play and Geospatial Technologies

Abstract The objective of this research was to determine if and to what extent students’ learning of geographic concepts can be improved through incorporation of hands-on play with Play-Doh® and LEGO® and geospatial technologies, specifically drones. The project team conducted six months of biweekly, collaborative instruction at Comstock Middle School in Michigan incorporating in-class activities such as drawing mental maps, creating contour lines of model landscapes in water boxes, constructing 3D landscapes from 2D topographic maps, building and operating small drones, and more. Compared pre- and post-tests reveal a 14% increase in overall scores, a statistically significant improvement in student performance.
