商品描述

This book provides two conceptual frameworks for further investigation of map literacy and fills in a gap in map literacy studies, addressing the distinction between reference maps and thematic maps and the varying uses of quantitative map literacy (QML) within and between the two. The text offers two conceptual frameworks and uses specific map examples to explore this variability in map reading skills and knowledge, with the goal of informing educational pedagogy and practices within geography and related disciplines. The book will appeal to cartographers and geographers as a new perspective on a tool of communication they have long employed in their disciplines, and will also appeal to those involved in the educational pedagogy of information and data literacy as a way to conceptualize the development of curricula and teaching materials in the increasingly important arena of the interplay between quantitative data and map-based graphics.
The first framework discussed is based on a three-set Venn model, and addresses the content and relationships of three "literacies" - map literacy, quantitative literacy and background information. As part of this framework, the field of QML is introduced, conceptualized, and defined as the knowledge (concepts, skills and facts) required to accurately read, use, interpret and understand the quantitative information embedded in geographic backgrounds. The second framework is of a compositional triangle based on (1) the ratio of reference to thematic map purpose and (2) the level of generalization and/or distortion within maps. In combination, these two parameters allow for any type of map to be located within the triangle as a prelude to considering the type and level of quantitative literacy that comes into play during map reading. Based on the two frameworks mentioned above, the pedagogical tool of "word problems" is applied to "map literacy" in an innovative way to explore the variability of map reading skills and knowledge based on specific map examples.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了兩個概念框架，以進一步探討地圖素養，填補了地圖素養研究中的一個空白，針對參考地圖和主題地圖之間的區別以及定量地圖素養（Quantitative Map Literacy, QML）在兩者之間的不同用途進行探討。文本提供了兩個概念框架，並使用具體的地圖範例來探索地圖閱讀技能和知識的變異性，目的是為地理學及相關學科的教育教學法和實踐提供資訊。本書將吸引製圖師和地理學家，因為它提供了一種新視角，重新審視他們在學科中長期使用的溝通工具，同時也會吸引那些參與信息和數據素養教育教學法的人，作為概念化課程和教學材料發展的一種方式，特別是在定量數據與基於地圖的圖形之間日益重要的互動領域。

首先討論的框架基於三集合的維恩圖模型，涉及三種「素養」的內容和關係——地圖素養、定量素養和背景信息。作為此框架的一部分，定量地圖素養的領域被引入、概念化並定義為準確閱讀、使用、解釋和理解嵌入地理背景中的定量信息所需的知識（概念、技能和事實）。第二個框架是基於（1）參考地圖與主題地圖目的的比例和（2）地圖中的概括和/或扭曲程度的組合三角形。這兩個參數的結合使得任何類型的地圖都可以在三角形內定位，作為考慮在地圖閱讀過程中涉及的定量素養類型和水平的前奏。基於上述兩個框架，將「文字問題」這一教學工具以創新的方式應用於「地圖素養」，以探索基於具體地圖範例的地圖閱讀技能和知識的變異性。

作者簡介

Dr. Ming Xie is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Navigation College at Dalian Maritime University, China. He received his PhD in 2019 from University of South Florida in the School of Geosciences.
Dr. Steven Reader is an Associate Professor in the School of Geosciences at the University of South Florida. Dr. Reader's research and teaching interests are mainly methodological in nature and lie at the interface between GIScience and Data Science, in the emerging field of Spatial Data Science. His past applied substantive work has been in medical geography/spatial epidemiology, with particular focus on chronic outcomes (cardiovascular health, maternal and child health).

Dr. H. L. Vacher is a Professor Emeritus in the School of Geosciences at the University of South Florida. His main research interest is quantitative literacy in all contexts, but particularly as it intersects geoscience. In his 47 years of university teaching at Washington State University and USF, his courses were mainly in physical geology, hydrogeology, geological numeracy, and histories of geology. He was a founding co-editor (2008) of the open-access journal, Numeracy.
