Coğrafya Eğitimine Teknoloji Entegrasyonu

This book, Coğrafya Eğitimine Teknoloji Entegrasyonu (Technology Integration in Geography Education), provides a conceptual and theoretical framework for geography teachers and prospective teachers on how to effectively integrate technology into their teaching processes. Edited by Prof. Dr. Adem Sezer, the work emphasizes that technology's role in educational settings has evolved from mere usage to a structured integration process. The book outlines two key models for technology integration in education: the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) models. Furthermore, based on the premise that integration is a design process, it explains how to create a SAMR-focused instructional design—using the Understanding by Design (UbD) model—with a practical example (the climate topic). It presents examples and applications of digital tools for geography education, such as digital literacy, augmented reality (AR), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), open-source GIS software (QGIS), and virtual fieldwork using Google Earth Pro. The core aim of the work is to guide teachers and teacher candidates in designing technology-integrated instruction to effectively convey geographical knowledge and skills to their students.
