Özet
The science of geography has provided many great conveniences to people in almost all fields of life with the advanced technology, tools, materials and methods including geographic information systems, global positioning system, remote sensing, computer and the internet since the early 21st century Allowing transferring into computer environment, querying and analyzing all geographic information belonging to the earth, geographic information systems are an important information technology used in every stage of life for generating permanent solutions to the problems encountered by communities. Even though GIS is taught at the highest level in geography courses as of primary education in such developed countries as the USA and Canada, geographic information systems, which are an important part of geography, cannot be utilized in Turkey adequately, just like the science of geography itself. The geography curricula prepared in recent years have highlighted that new teaching methods that involve the active participation of students should be adopted instead of traditional methods. However, it can be said that these teaching methods are not implemented sufficiently. In consideration of the above-mentioned deficiency, this study focused on the necessity of benefiting from geographic information systems technology to achieve a more effective geography teaching. Literature review was conducted in the present study. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
