Abstract

The digital revolution is one of the most important trends in education in The Netherlands, and digital maps and GIS are seen by geographers in The Netherlands as essential for enriching geography education. Modern secondary education in The Netherlands emphasizes the development of knowledge as well as skills and attitudes. The attention to learning through inquiry-oriented problem-solving activities around authentic issues using real-world data is growing. GIS fits very well into this development.
