DIDACTIC POSSIBILITIES OF CASE TECHNOLOGIES IN MODERN GEOGRAPHICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article reveals the didactic potential of case technologies as an innovative means of improving the quality of geographical education in the context of modern educational requirements. The relevance of the use of the case study method is substantiated, which allows bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical ability of students to analyze and solve complex spatial problems. It is determined that the case method contributes to the contextualization of knowledge, the formation of systemic and critical thinking, as well as the development of teamwork and communication skills. Particular attention is paid to the ability of geographical cases to model real socio-economic and environmental situations, increasing the internal motivation of students. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effectiveness of the technology for the transition to a competency-based learning paradigm and the prospects for further research in the field of developing digital interactive cases and the typology of their application are outlined.
