Abstract
 ConSIG - Using GIS in teaching/learning processes Track: Education Author(s): Madalena Mota, Francisco Ferreira, Paula Curvelo, Marco Painho, Miguel Peixoto In order to encourage the use of experiments in learning science, the Institute for Statistics and Information Managements of the New University of Lisbon is developing, together with Maria Amália Vaz de Carvalho Secondary School and Pinhal Novo Secondary School, a project aiming to promote the experimental teaching of sciences based on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in different curricular areas, where the spatial dimension provides a privileged context for the establishment of analysis and exploration frameworks. For this purpose a group of activities focused on the production of scientific contents for GIS use in basic and secondary education is proposed. This project will create the information infrastructure and an Internet Portal where teachers and students can access WebGIS tools and contents with a view to an exchange of knowledge and resources.
