Spatial Citizenship: The Concept of Competence. GI_Forum 2013 – Creating the GISociety|

When translating the Spatial Citizenship (SPACIT) approach into practical learning environments, an appropriate competence model becomes essential. Based on previous deliberations for preparing SPACIT for curriculum implementation this paper illustrates the systematic production of a competence framework for SPACIT education for teacher training courses. Founded on a content analysis of the scholarly literature on the SPACIT approach, the construction is conducted as a three step method including the consideration of influential international competence models (e.g. the body of knowledge concerning GIScience & Technology, DIGCOMP, CEFR, ITEC) and material from neighbouring domains (e.g. philosophy, communication theory, geography, pedagogy)
