Approaches to teaching Cartography and Geoinformatics in schools

Abstract

The article discusses modern approaches to teaching cartography and geoinformatics in school education. The article analyzes traditional and innovative teaching methods, including the use of geographic information systems (GIS), digital cartographic services and interactive technologies. Special attention is paid to the integration of cartographic knowledge into curricula, the development of students' spatial thinking and the practical application of geoinformation technologies in project activities. The problems related to the introduction of GIS technologies in schools and possible solutions are also considered.
