GEOINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING

Abstract

Modern information educational technologies open up a wide range of opportunities for teachers of general education institutions to develop students' key competences in geography and ecology lessons. According to the federal state standard for geography, the requirements for subject outcomes of the geography course at the profile level should reflect the ability to work with geographic information systems. The existing level of information technology development allows geographic information systems to be adapted for use in the educational process at secondary school to develop students' spatial thinking skills and create a more complete picture of the world around them. The speed and simplicity of geospatial data processing by means of geoinformation technologies make it possible to significantly individualise the training process for students In methodological recommendations on geography, much attention is paid to improving the skills of independent activity, including the use of geographic information systems resources. The results of mastering the basic educational programme should reflect the knowledge of geoinformation technologies as a tool for collecting and processing research materials and as a source of geographical information. The article considers the possibility of introducing modern pedagogical technologies in the educational process, on the example of geoinformation technologies. The activity approach is the main one in modern education in accordance with modern requirements. The article describes the experience of organising the study of ecological and geographical features of the native land by creating an interactive web map of the region. Such an interactive map serves as a means of combining data and visualising them in a clear and easily accessible form. The results obtained can be used in the educational process at school and university.
