Manipulation and Analysis

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Bar Graph

Bar Graph

A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

Levels of Use of a GIS

Levels of Use of a GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

Focus Charting, also known as the focus charting system or "focus documentation," is a systematic documentation approach used in healthcare to organize patient information in medical records.
It typically involves three columns for recording information:

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

Thematic Layering in GIS

Thematic Layering in GIS

In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Education
Curriculum Development
Educational Assessment

Background:

Effective curriculum development requires robust analysis of educational outcomes and learning opportunities.
Curricular mapping provides a framework for systematically evaluating educational programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail curricular mapping strategies for analyzing and interpreting data.
To present findings on using these strategies to enhance curriculum development.

Main Methods:

Nova Southeastern University's doctor of pharmacy curriculum was mapped to educational outcomes.
Data collection involved analyzing course materials and conducting faculty interviews.
Learning opportunities and assessment measures were documented for each course outcome.

Main Results:

Over 1,000 variables and 10,000 data rows were collected.
Graphic representations (bar charts, stacked area graphs) visualized data.
Graphs facilitated identification of curricular gaps, sequencing issues, and assessment misalignments.

Conclusions:

Graphic representations of curricular data are effective diagnostic tools.
Curricular mapping strategies support targeted curriculum development and improvement.
