Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has since it originated been making its wayinto different types of industries and higher education. However, one of the purposes regarding the teaching of geography in the upper secondary school in Swedenis to let students visualize and analyze spatial data by using GIS-tools. Previous research states that a broader implementation of GIS in the teaching of geography canbring opportunities such as new and more fun ways of teaching at the same time asstudents learn and develop essential knowledge for the future. Research howeverstates that there are constraints connected to the implementation of GIS in k-12 education and one of these originates from the idea that students and teachers potentially lack knowledge and have an overall negative attitude towards GIS. The implementation of GIS-tools which are adapted to fit the purpose of education at the desired level are therefore regarding to previous research a potential way of dealingwith this issue. This study aims to examine which requirements are to be included ina GIS-application from a teacher’s perspective to enhance usability and ease of use ofsuch tools. A prototype of a GIS-tool is going to be developed and evaluated together with this study to help determine the requirements to be expected from upper secondary school teachers regarding usability and ease of use.The research strategy chosen for this study is Design science. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted together with upper secondary school teachers at twodifferent occasions in this study. The first sets of interviews were conducted for collecting initial requirements for the prototype and the second sets of interviews wereconducted to evaluate the prototype. A theoretical framework has been used for thisstudy, both for supporting in creating questions for the interviews and for supporting in conducting two sets of deductive thematic analysis on the data collected. Thechosen theoretical framework for this study is The Technology Acceptance Model ...
