Spatial Citizenship: the concept of competence

This contribution was double-blind reviewed as full paper. When translating the Spatial Citizenship (SPACIT) approach into practical learning envi-ronments, 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)
