Didactic possibilities of geospatial data infrastructures.IDERioja implementation proposal

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other platforms for geographic information processing are often used in Geography lessons, as they have led to an improvement in student cartographic skills and, on the whole, in the digital competence. In recent years, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have gained ground because of the advantages they offer to state administration as well as their didactic possibilities. In this regard, they bring students up to the comprehension of the space and, in general, of spatial relationships at all levels and work scales. The aim of this paper is to give a theoretical justification of IDERioja platform implementation, as well as, to present a proposal of activities for Primary and Secondary Education.
