Abstract: With the continuous development of the knowledge structure of geographic information, the demand for social talents is diverse, and traditional undergraduate teaching methods are not sufficient to cope with high-level scientific research and work requirements. More scientific and efficient undergraduate training programs need to be proposed. For implementing the basic concepts, professional knowledge and methodologies of GIS into the teaching of undergraduates, this paper puts forward three ideas of GIS undergraduate education:open, open source and development, and creates a set of "multi-disciplinary, multi-method, multi-technique" three-dimensional training program to response to the teaching guidelines called "adults to talents". Based on the existing teaching methods, this program brings breakthrough ideas and reforms by combining with the professional characteristics of geographic information science and GIS undergraduate teaching will become a model of professional training that is more comprehensive in the subject area, more advanced in method and technology, and more various in practice and internships. This teaching concept is beneficial to undergraduate students to fully understand the knowledge they have learned, and to improve the spatial thinking level and enhance the practical development ability in the support of theoretical foundation. It is a useful exploration of GIS undergraduate education methods.
