| Summary: | Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University === The purpose of this study is to produce a systematic
progression of social studies skills for fourth grade pupils
in the interpretation of maps and globes.
Intelligent map reading tends to develop intelligent
diagnosis of human and world relationships. Incidental or
non-directive map teaching is not sufficient for all of the
vicarious travel encountered in the social studies. Since
the cartographer's language introduces a new symbolic
communication, a mental picture behind each feature on the
map becomes a necessary step to understanding. The ability
to read types of specific information from maps and globes
needs to be developed gradually and in systematic progression
as early as possible. |
