In this context, the authors developed an outdoor work task, consisting of an orientation game in ‘medieval Madrid’. The main objective was to show future teachers how they can enable their own students to value cultural heritage in order to acquire sustainability competencies. The task was evaluated by participants using a questionnaire, in order to make them aware of the acquired competencies. A gamification component was added to the outdoor task to create a healthy competitive environment. In this way, future teachers were able to observe how a teaching activity is evaluated; learn how to organize a didactic activity that can be extrapolated to other territorial and heritage realities; and employ their mobile devices to learn the foundations of sustainability in heritage management. Additionally, they acquired teaching competencies that promoted quality education and contributed towards two of the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically: 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” and 11 “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”.

    WebGIS and geospatial technologies for landscape education on personalized learning contexts
    (MDPI, 2017) Miguel González, Rafael de; Lázaro Torres, María Luisa de; Morales Yago, Francisco José
    The value of landscape, as part of collective heritage, can be acquired by geographic information systems (GIS) due to the multilayer approach of the spatial configuration. Proficiency in geospatial technologies to collect, process, analyze, interpret, visualize, and communicate geographic information is being increased by undergraduate and graduate students but, in particular, by those who are training to become geography teachers at the secondary education level. Some teaching experiences, using personalized learning, distance learning methodology, and GIS, focused on education aims to integrate students and enhance their understanding of the landscape are shown. Opportunities offered byWebGIS will be described, through quantitative tools and techniques that will allow this modality of learning and improve its effectiveness. Results of this research show that students, through geospatial technologies, learn the landscape as a diversity of elements, but also the complexity of physical and human factors involved. Several conclusions will be highlighted: (i) the contribution of geospatial training to education on the landscape and for sustainable development; (ii) spatial analysis as a means of skills acquisition regarding measures for landscape conservation; and (iii) expanding and applying acquired knowledge to other geographic spaces.

    The Potential of the SMART Learning Framework to Design and Implement Geospatial Curricula in the Secondary Classroom
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023-12-14) Buzo Sánchez, Isaac; Mínguez, Carmen; Lázaro Torres, María Luisa de
    This study investigates the didactic educational use of Web GIS in the framework of SMART learning and its potential to help students’ practice geospatial thinking. Using qualitative, exploratory action research methods, four classroom experiences were designed, developed, implemented, and analyzed. The findings support the claims that the use of Web GIS facilitates geographic knowledge and enhances spatial and digital competencies and skills. Additionally, in line with the SMART framework and perspective on learning, these findings indicate that such classroom approaches promote autonomous learning, is adaptable in diverse settings, and is motivating for students.

    Sources of mapping used in humanitarian emergencies: the case of Ebola
    (Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, 2022-10-14) Barra Martínez, José Antonio; Morales-Yago, Franciso José; Lázaro Torres, María Luisa de; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9466-3435; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0089-6567
    The need to rapidly respond to health emergencies has generated various institutional initiatives to identify their location, through mapping. This study employs a qualitative-exploratory method, based on the daily monitoring of eight Ebola epidemics between 2013 and 2021, to make an assessment of the usefulness of maps created specificallyfor Ebola. The results show that at least 14 organisations produce maps in the face of emergencies and epidemics such as Ebola. Consequently, it has been possible to design a search plan to aid in the monitoring of emergencies and to design an Ebola map with data obtained from these organisations and the initiatives they promote, which confirms the usefulness of these data sources and maps.

    Citizen and Educational Initiatives to Support Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All
    (MDPI, 2020) Borderías Uribeondo, María Pilar; Lázaro Torres, María Luisa de; Morales Yago, Francisco José
    Sustainable Development Goal 6 affirms the need to “ensure water availability, sustainable water management and sanitation for all” and thereby highlights a current problem in Spain caused by climate dynamics in the south and southeast of the peninsula and the islands. This study is based on a non-probabilistic online survey with 455 participants (n = 455) carried out to identify citizens’ views across the Autonomous Communities and detect good and bad practices, including efficiency gains and specific problems, derived from water management. Differences in perceptions were found regarding place of residence, gender, and education level, which were all especially significant in relation to territory. Generally, people who live in areas with greater water abundance are less aware of the need to make good use of it. There are no major differences in terms of gender, although there is a greater awareness among women about the effects of climate change and the need for good water management. It is argued that education should employ innovative materials and pedagogically motivating resources from school to university levels.

    Global Change Challenge in the Higher Education Curriculum on the approach of Blended Learning
    (European Association of Geographers (EUROGEO), 2023-05-15) Leininger Frézal, Caroline; Sprenger, Sandra; Lázaro Torres, María Luisa de; Rodríguez Domenech, María Ángeles; Heidari, Neli; Pigaki, Maria; Naudet, Cédric; Lecomte, Aurore; Gallardo Beltrán, Marta; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0890-6408; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9599-8103; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6000-4279; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6694-9492
    Global change is one of the greatest challenges facing societies today. Higher education plays a crucial role in providing knowledge on global change, contributing to the achievement of the Sustain-able Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. How is global change integrated into the planned, delivered and achieved curriculum? Has the pandemic promoted the development of blended learning courses on global change? To answer these two research ques-tions, we conducted 25 interviews with academics about the prominence of global change in their courses and curriculum. We also analysed several geography curricula. It emerged that universities play a central role in mainstreaming global change into curricula in the context of education for sustainable development (ESD) and climate change. There were two main findings: (i) ESD has been implemented selectively in higher geography education, with a focus on environmental issues and different ap-proaches and (ii) blended learning is a useful approach to develop new curriculum structures and con-tent to educate students about global change.
