摘要

地理位置认知能力，即在地图上定位和命名地点的能力，是地理素养评价的关键指标.现有的以二维纸质地图填图为基本工作方法的地理位置认知能力测试技术，虽然简单易行，但却存在形式呆板、效率低下、可复用性差等缺陷.以地理信息系统和数字地球系统为核心的地球空间信息技术，为地理位置认知能力的培养和测试工作提供了新的工作平台.本文研究了在Google Earth数字地球平台中进行地理位置认知能力测试的技术和方法，提出了基于Google Earth的地理位置认知能力在线测试框架.利用该框架不仅可以检验被测试者的地理位置知识，还可以起到培育和增强地理素养的作用.

Abstract

Geographic location recognition, or the ability to locate and name places on a map, is an essential indicator to assess individuals’ geographic literacy levels. Past research has concentrated on testing one’s geographic location recognition using twodimensional paper maps. Whereas the paper mapping method is flexible and easy to follow, it requires a fixed paper map with a series of predefined quizzes and is therefore difficult to reuse. Advances in geospatial information technologies, led by geographical information systems and digital earth systems, is providing educators with a convenient platform to cultivate and assess one’s geographic location recognition. In this paper, we present a general framework and corresponding implementation methods for the online testing of geographic location recognition using the Google Earth digital earth platform. The most significant feature of the proposed framework and corresponding implementation program is that they have abilities to improve the individuals’ geographic literacy while conducting the testing.

Key words： geographic location recognition; geographic literacy; online testing; Google Earth; KML
