| dc.description.abstract | This paper reports on research that considers the ways in which younger children interpret aerial photographs and construct patterns and relationships from topographical and land use features within the natural and built environments. The children who participated were six-, eight-, and ten-year-old pupils in two geographically distinct locations (N=82). One school was located in a large town, the other in a rural community. While all children regardless of age showed no difficulty interpreting aerial photographs, there were differences between the two location samples that highlighted the influence of everyday experiences of place and provided some evidence of age development. Development aspects were noticeable in the rules used by the children to explain any patterns they detected in the land use placement. Place relatedness was apparent in the vocabulary used and the features recognised. | |
