- Abstract
Spatial thinking is an important competency that needs to be formed in the era of technology 4.0 so that students can master spatial concepts in Geography learning so that a cutting-edge technology-based learning media is needed. One of the potential learning media to support the formation of spatial thinking is WebGIS. The advantages of WebGis in learning are: (1) Facilitate the application of spatial concepts in Geography learning by collecting, representing, and analyzing spatial data in the form of maps so that students can understand it. (2) Using WebGIS in education can help students develop the ability to think spatially, critically, and adapt to the inquiry process, which includes exploration, data processing, and conclusion in order to produce scientific discoveries.(3) Compared to other popular geospatial technologies (ArcGIS and Quantum GIS mapping applications), The method used is a literature review (literature study) with data in the form of qualitative descriptions. The data collected comes from secondary data using relevant literacy sources both online and offline. Based on the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that WebGIS is relatively easy to use for both students and teachers because the system’s base is a website so that it can be accessed by anyone, anywhere and anytime without requiring complicated installation or configuration. Utilization of WebGIS is easy. It supports simple and flexible tools because they can be used in all Geographical Basic Competencies in Senior High Schools. Steps to using WebGIS can be done by (1) Students are directed to collect and convert verbal or written information into spatial information on WebGIS. (2) The spatial information collected can be seen through WebGIS so that students can find out various kinds of spatial patterns. (3) The spatial pattern can be used by students for more in-depth geographic analysis activities
