Özet:

 Digital maps, delivering up-to-date geographically referenced information to users through Web pages prepared by software companies, have emerged in parallel with the development of Geographic Information Systems GIS and have become widespread in the public sphere since the mid-1990s. Education is one of the areas where digital maps are widely used in many fields such as health, tourism, population, transportation and meteorology due to their features and advantages. This study, designed with document analysis, one of the qualitative research designs, aimed to examine the usability of digital maps according to the achievements in the Geography Course Curriculum GCC. In line with this purpose, various digital map applications were examined according to criteria such as cost, having an easy-to-use interface, accessibility, and examples of their usability in teaching the objectives in the current geography curriculum, which includes map knowledge and map skills. At the end of the study, suggestions were made about the use of digital maps in geography lessons in line with the information obtained.

 Coğrafi referanslı bilgileri güncel bir biçimde yazılım firmaları tarafından hazırlanan Web sayfaları aracılığıyla kullanıcılara ulaştıran dijital haritalar Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemlerinin CBS gelişimine paralel olarak ortaya çıkmış ve 1990lı yılların ortalarından itibaren kamusal alanda yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Sahip oldukları birtakım özellikler ve sağladıkları avantajlardan dolayı günümüzde sağlık, turizm, nüfus, ulaşım ve meteoroloji gibi daha pek çok alanda yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanan dijital haritaların kullanıldığı alanlardan biri de eğitimdir. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden doküman incelenmesi ile tasarlanan bu çalışmada da Coğrafya Dersi Öğretim Programında CDÖP yer alan kazanımlara göre dijital haritaların kullanılabilirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çeşitli dijital harita uygulamaları maliyet, kolay kullanım ara yüzüne sahip olma, erişilebilirlik gibi kriterlere göre incelenerek yürürlükte olan mevcut coğrafya öğretim programında yer alan harita bilgisi ile harita becerilerinin yer aldığı kazanımların öğretiminde kullanılabilirliğine dair örnekler sunulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonunda ise elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda coğrafya derslerinde dijital haritaların kullanımıyla ilgili olarak önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
