GIS专业人才的素质特征、知识结构与培养方案研究

GIS学科的工具性、工程性及横断性等特征促使GIS的应用格局以及社会对GIS专业人才的需求朝着多层次、多元化的方向发展。该文在调查分析国内外GIS专业人才培养现状的基础上,指出GIS专业人才应具备以下素质特征:1)融厚实的数理、空间知识基础与精湛的GIS专业知识于一体;2)融扎实的GIS基本技能与迫切的GIS求知、创新欲望于一体;3)融GIS研究、技术开发本领与GIS项目管理能力于一体。同时,GIS专业人才应掌握与之相对应的、立体的知识结构,即以数理基础和空间基础为宽度,以应用背景与应用领域为广度,以专业知识及专业技能为深度的知识结构。笔者还对GIS专业人才培养模型与GIS高、中级人才的培养方案进行探讨。

Research on the Diathesis,Knowledge Structure and Education Programme of GIS Professionals

Featuring as the discipline of research tool,project and intersection,GIS science precipitates the stratification and versatility of GIS application and corresponding social demand of GIS professional.Based on the investigation and analysis relating to the status of current GIS education at home and abroad,this paper points out that GIS professional should own several dispositions: the integration of basic mathematics as well as spatial knowledge with perfect GIS specialty; the integration of fundamental skills of GIS and strong desire for GIS query and renovation; the integration of GIS developing technique and GIS projects-managing capacity.Moreover,they should grasp a correspondingly stereo knowledge structure,which is elongated by mathematical and spatial elementary,widen by the application,and deepen by special technology.Finally,the educational models are proposed,and programmes are discussed aiming at cultivation of middle or advanced level GIS professional.
