Abstract
Going along with our previous intervention Would Google Earth be a proper GIS? (Marcheggiani 2011), had during last LeGIO-workshop held in Leuven (Belgium) in November 2011 our intention is to take advantage of the incoming 8th European GIS Education Seminar to attest the arguments we displayed. A step further has been the involvement of GIS-teachers from the broader Italian context. With this in mind a survey has been conducted considering the whole Geomatics background for the Agriculture faculties in Italy. A special attention has been paid to potential kernels of new ways of GIS and Geomatics teaching emerging by teachers and scholars. To do this a questionnaire has been devised to test students background and to collect their opinions. The survey wants to be a gaze on the ways in which GIS is taught in Italy today.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
