摘要:This research examined the abilities of Primary school pupils in using maps and aerial photographss. The results referred to 36 eleven year olds pupils from two different schools, on Lesvos Island (Greece). The research approach implemented was the before and after instructive intervention comparison. Research results illustrate that pupils’ ability to recognize, locate and interpret map symbols was significantly improved after instructive intervention. There was also an important difference in pupils’ ability to distinguish environmental features and to determine the relative location of their school in the aerial photograph. But there was not a significant difference on estimating familiar distances
