碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 教育科技研究所 === 93 === How to read a map is one of important abilities which lives a modern life should have . The theme pictures of the electronic map have become a good information tool of transmission. It can also replace the traditional geography teaching materials for the social field of primary school. It is verified that the electronic map and internet electronic map are helpful to students’ study on geographical skills and concepts via actual teaching. Most students hold the positive opinions on the electronic map. It is more interesting to have a class with the electronic map because the functions are convenient, easy to use and the pictures are clear. We have found 85% of all the observation time spends on correlating behaviors and studying. The learning stage of primary school is exactly an important period for students to develop their cognitive concept of the space that the map correlated with. If a teacher can combine students’ developments and apply the proper teaching materials in the class, not only can expand the students’ vision but also improve their space intelligence.
