Competence in Geographic Information Technology (GIT) in studies university-reflection and participatory proposal
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to offer an insight on competences leading to their consistent allocation in the different courses on Geographic Information Technologies (Cartography, Geographic Information Systems - GIS and Remote Sensing) taught in universities. To do this, after analyzing the various proposals on the subject, both in Spain and internationally, and after conducting a series of participatory workshops, a group of academics from the University of Alcalá has generated its own proposal on the most important and necessary competences to acquire at each level of higher education (bachelor, master and doctorate). Furthermore, the proposal has been contrasted with the results of a survey conducted by a wide range of Spanish university academics.
