1. Mapping/Remapping Discourse in Educational Policy Studies. Occasional Paper Series. APS Conceptual Mapping Project.

Author

Pittsburgh Univ., PA. School of Education., Nicholson-Goodman, JoVictoria, and Paulston, Rolland G.

Abstract

This essay demonstrates the origins, rationale and utility for social cartography as a process capable of portraying the interrelations of truth and value choices in the field of educational policy studies. The article focuses on the particular domain of environmental education-related discourse while presenting both a primary conceptual mapping project and a critique of the work performed. The authors explain the interrelations of the discourse and disclose interactions between themselves and with their readers to demonstrate how the intertextual field opens the heuristic circle to include readers as active participants in the process. They essay argues that social cartography is a methodology which attends to the spatial dispersion of ideas so as to explicitly portray their value and power relations. Conclusions touch on the potential and limitations of social cartography as a useful methodology for attending to postmodern considerations within the realm of educational policy studies, including its practical application to environmental education, the metanaratives of science and technology.

3. Census Mapping Project School District Data Book. Working Paper Series.

Author

MESA Group, Arlington, VA.

Abstract

The School District Data Book (SDDB) is a database and information system housed on 51 CD-ROMs containing the most extensive set of data ever developed on children, their households, and the nation's school systems. The Data Book allows comparisons among school districts and permits the extraction of data about districts with particular characteristics. The database provides up to 200,000 data items for each school district or county, and a mapping feature enables users to view maps of all individual school districts in the nation for the first time. Approximately 15,000 school districts have been mapped. These are usually the same districts included in the Common Core of Data. This briefing document is organized into the following sections: (1) development of the SDDB; (2) features of operation and software; (3) database content and applications; (4) mapping features and applications; and (5) school districts and the mapping project.

4. GIS in K-12 Education. An ESRI White Paper.

Author

Environmental Systems Research Inst., Inc., Redlands, CA.

Abstract

Geographic information systems (GIS) consist of robust hardware, software, data, and a thinking operator. Together, they provide powerful tools for automated cartography and extensive analysis of information about places. Recent improvements in computer hardware and software allow the powers of GIS to move effectively and affordably into the precollege arena. Schools can take advantage of the "new geography" in many ways, in a variety of grade levels. This document is divided into three parts. Part 1 defines GIS and describes the components of the system. Part 2 discusses issues of incorporating GIS in education at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The Adopt-a-School program, a collaborative effort to bring the ArcView GIS tool and basic data into the classroom, is also described. Part 3 focuses on the methodology for and challenges of bringing GIS into the classroom and discusses benefits of both individual and group learning. Appendices include: hardware enhancement options; basic ArcView skills; standards in education; data sources; and strategies for acquiring hardware. (AEF)

9. Maps, Distortion, and Meaning. Resource Paper No. 75-4.

Author

Association of American Geographers, Washington, DC., Monmonier, Mark S., Monmonier, Mark S., and Association of American Geographers, Washington, DC.

Abstract

The document is designed to help map readers comprehend the uses and limitations of maps. Intended predominantly for college students of geography, graphic arts, and public communication, the resource paper should also be of general interest to informed citizens and map enthusiasts. The document is presented in six chapters. Chapter I discusses and defines major elements common to all maps--projection, scale and generalization, and symbolization. Chapter II addresses the process of cartographic communication and identifies factors which influence the successful transfer of a map's message from author to reader. Factors include the cartographer's data, intent, design, and reproduction process, and the reader's understanding, intelligence, biases, and perceptions. Chapter III explores the relationship between map projections and effective communication and describes methods for constructing three nontraditional projections. Chapter IV examines methods for reducing complexity of mapped patterns. Topics discussed include choroplethic maps, classification errors, pattern and perception, cartographic correlation, and information overkill. Chapter V shows how map distortion can serve a variety of goals, such as route planning, data processing, advertising, advocacy, and research. The final chapter presents concluding remarks. A major conclusion is that both map reader and map author should strive to understand the process of cartographic communication. (Author/DB)

10. Centering of Mental Maps of the World. Discussion Paper Series 87-7.

Author

Arizona Univ., Tucson. Dept. of Geography and Regional Studies. and Saarinen, Thomas F.

Abstract

Every map depicts both objective realities and subjective elements and is a rich resource for studying the geographic knowledge and values of mapmakers and their societies. This paper considers cognitive mapping research and describes how world maps reflect world images. Cognitive mapping is defined as a process that allows people to acquire, code, store, recall, and manipulate information about the nature of their spatial environment. A history of world mapping and cognitive processes in mapping is presented, and an analysis of how current mental maps of the world are centered, based on a worldwide sample of student sketch maps, is described. Results indicate that sketch maps were either Eurocentric, Sinocentric, or Americentric, and examples of these maps are used to illustrate differences in images and the centering of countries. The English colonial mentality and Eurocentric image of the world still remain dominant in many places, and this suggests a lag time between political change and its reflection in world images. Seven data tables, 25 maps, and a 59-item bibliography are included. (JHP)

27. A Cartography of Digital Literacy: Conceptual Categories and Main Issues in the Theorization and Study of Digital Literacies

Author

Samaniego, José Miguel

Abstract

This paper presents a cartography of the digital literacy academic field. Such cartography is comprised of two sections: a categorization of the field through literature review and analysis, and an exploration of its main issues through thematic and network analysis. On the one hand, five conceptual categories of digital literacies are found: functional, sociocultural, critical, transformative, and sociomaterial. On the other, main issues are described with 21 recurring themes of digital literacy and a few networks depicting its most salient matters of concern, concluding with an interpretation of these in the composition of 8 encompassing issue spaces: digital literacies conceptions and practices, digital literacy in education, access and digital divide, digital texts and literacy, websites and social networks, digital technologies at the workplace and healthcare, digital technologies users and uses, and information issues. Finally, a few paragraphs are dedicated to the limitations of categorizing and issue mapping.

Abstract

The Serbian Armed Forces support represents a part of the military activity aimed at creating conditions for the execution of missions and tasks. For successful support, it is necessary to establish the cooperation with relevant institutions of the Republic of Serbia. The conceptual definition of the geo-topographic support has been researched in the context of previous and current regulations, which have shown that the achievements of information and communications technology have influenced not only the development of the geographic information systems, but also directly the definition of this concept. The importance of the geographic information systems in the collection, processing, analysis and use of geospatial data has also determined the contents of the geo-topographic support. The continuous development of the geographic information systems in the direction of establishing a service-oriented approach to the distribution and use of geospatial data, will directly affect the future improvement of the content of the geo-topographic support. Such a process is accompanied by the establishment of the geo-topographic support principle, which should enable the construction and maintenance of a stable structure, in order to successfully carry out the assigned missions and tasks of the Serbian Armed Forces.

Abstract

Effects of artificial thermal aging on color variations of various commercial papers (fine paper, coated paper, newsprint and filter paper) were investigated. With thermal aging at 105 o C, most of papers showed a special trend in a * -b * plane: the a * (red-green) values of the samples were initially reduced (heading to a * side) and after a turning point they increased to +a * side while the b * (blue-yellow) values were kept increased to +b * side (yellowing of paper). Different papers had different turning points for a * value. The filter paper consisted of a pure chemical pulp and the copy paper with OBA (optical brightening agent) showed the latest turing points. In addition, the papers without OBA showed less reduction in brightness compared with that with OBA, suggesting that OBA could adversely influence the brightness stability during thermal aging. Keywords: Thermal aging, brightness, optical brightening agent, color differences, CIE L * a * b * 1. 서 론 종이가 제조된 후, 시간의 흐름에 따라 종이의 노화가 발생한다. 종이가 노화됨에 따라 종이의 물리적, 화학적 성질이 어떻게 변화하는지는, 종이의 보존 측면에서 또는 종이를 재생하는 측면에서 여러 연구자들에 의해서 연구되어져 왔다.

Abstract

In this study, we use wavelet approach to study the scientific research papers received by two journals i.e., i) Journal of Informetrics and ii) Research Policy, by using monthly observations during the period of 1970:2 to 2010:2 from article received history of both publishers database. Instead of analyzing the time series at their original level, as it is usually done, this study decompose the two variables i.e., scientific papers and the time dependent factors at various scales of resolution using wavelet decomposition and then we study the relationships among the decomposed series matched to their scales. A major finding of the study is that some variations in received articles explained by many other time dependent factors that are previously not captured due to uneven time lags, therefore, an estimate with a time trend is made in this study. Both variables are not constant over frequency bands as it depends on the time scales. The two series (i.e., Springer and time factors) are correlated at higher frequencies, but their correlations measures in time dimension do not last long. However, during two structural breaks i.e., 1990-1995 and 2007-2011, the two time series seems to be correlated for longer period with frequency band higher than 321days. The results further provides an evidence that the two time series are in phase and the Elsevier scientific papers are time dependent in the long run. Thus, the analysis of wavelet coherence reveal that the two series i.e., scientific papers and time dependent factors correlated during the sample period.

Abstract

The dataset contains the spatial data needed to build the network of least cost camel paths between archaeological sites and watering places in the Egyptian Eastern Desert during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. It includes the sites to be linked, the travel factors (topography, navigation and terrain surface), the modern traveler routes used for training and model validation, and the outputs. Data processing models, made on ArcGIS 10.5, are available. Data and analyses for model calibration and validation to assess its quality are also provided. The objective of this dataset is to be able to reproduce the network created in the Egyptian Eastern Desert and facilitate the application of the approach to other study areas. Although the input data is based on the Egyptian Eastern Desert, the method is nevertheless reproducible using the data processing models developed.

Abstract

Quantifying the impact of a scholarly paper is of great significance, yet the effect of geographical distance of cited papers has not been explored. In this paper, we examine 30,596 papers published in Physical Review C, and identify the relationship between citations and geographical distances between author affiliations. Subsequently, a relative citation weight is applied to assess the impact of a scholarly paper. A higher-order weighted quantum PageRank algorithm is also developed to address the behavior of multiple step citation flow. Capturing the citation dynamics with higher-order dependencies reveals the actual impact of papers, including necessary self-citations that are sometimes excluded in prior studies. Quantum PageRank is utilized in this paper to help differentiating nodes whose PageRank values are identical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

41. Opening the Development Debate with Maps of Multiple Perspectives.

Author

Paulston, Rolland G.

Abstract

This paper identifies how comparative educators have chosen to visually represent the field of development education since about 1963. This is an attempt to historicize the vision as scholars struggle with the representational dilemmas and opportunities of late modernity/postmodernity. The paper is organized in three parts. Part 1 illustrates how the three scopic regimes of modernity (the technical rationalist; the critical rationalist; the hermeneutical constructivist) each have their own favored rhetoric and forms of representation. Part 2 presents a personal narrative of how the social cartography project has sought to elaborate and implement a new social mapping rationale and methodology. Part 3 notes the possible implications of this study and the social cartography project for current theoretical debates, representational practice, and new opportunities to reposition development studies vis-a-vis the human sciences in the coming millennium. Examples of how social cartography might help to construct new ways representing and seeing are assessed. (EH)

44. Mapping the Postmodern Turn in Comparative Education.

Author

Liebman, Martin and Paulston, Rolland

Abstract

This paper advocates the use of cognitive maps by researchers in comparative education. Cognitive maps are defined as "visual imageries depicting on the two dimensional surface of a screen or paper the researcher's perceived application, allocation, or appropriation of social space by social groups at a given time and in a given place." The use of cognitive maps is advocated as a means of expanding social dialogue because it offers the map's reader a forum for responding directly to the map maker by producing on the map differences in claims to social space perceived by the reader. Numerous theorists of the postmodern enterprise in geography/cartography are discussed, as is the work of three academic practitioners, one in comparative education and two in geographic cartography, who have observed that colleagues in these areas must now move their respective academic fields toward a postmodernist integration of ideas and theories. The use of cognitive maps, and not necessarily postmodernism itself, is promoted as a means for comparative fields to expand their knowledge base. Three figures illustrating various aspects of cognitive mapping are included and 46 footnotes are appended. (DB)

48. Cartographies as Spaces of Inquiry to Explore of Teachers' Nomadic Learning Trajectories

Author

Hernández-Hernández, Fernando, Sancho-Gil, Juana M., and Domingo-Coscollola, Maria

Abstract

This paper is part of a research project, in which secondary teachers were invited to generate cartographies, and participate in conversations about the scenarios and where they learn and the movements they make, inside and outside school. They were also invited to think about what they valued of this performative act as a source of knowledge and experience. By generating cartographies, as a visual and textual epistemological and methodological move, we inquire those interstices, displacements, instable journeys, ways of knowing, assemblages and entanglement through which teachers explore and perform their nomadic learning paths. The main aim of this research process it is no longer about getting results but generating and putting into action concepts such as rhizome, intensity, affect, gesture, displacement, metaphor. Concepts that are helping us to think about how learning gets through teachers' movements and trajectories. Specifically, in this paper, we reflect on how nomadism localizes learning not as an outcome but as an activity staged within a processual, relational and performative ontology of becoming. In addition, we consider how all these processes affect us, as teachers and researchers.

50. The Impermanence of Maps in the Information Age.

Author

McGlamery, Patrick

Abstract

This paper addresses the library collection development of spatial information in cartographic format. Highlights include: the impermanent nature of maps; changes in spatial information creation, storage, processing, and management resulting from developments in computer-based information technology; steps required to download the digital version of a USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) map; acquiring map material that is not in a standard distribution network; MapQuest, an Internet mapping business; and Mapnet, a tool for visualizing the Internet. The following observations are noted in conclusion: (1) maps, either paper or digital, are elusive; (2) maps are transformative; (3) libraries have well-defined roles; and (4) networked maps are innovative and unpredictable.
