INTEGRATED LEARNING IN TEACHING MODERN GEOGRAPHY

Abstract

This article deals with the role of integrated education in the context of teaching modern geography. The integration of geographical knowledge with elements of other scientific disciplines serves as a key mechanism for developing students' in-depth knowledge of complex phenomena of the modern world. The advantages of this approach include the formation of critical thinking, the development of analytical skills and the application of knowledge in real-world scenarios. Examples of successful integrated lessons covering topics such as cartography, natural area, and biosphere are given. The article also examines the problems and prospects of the introduction of integrated education in geographical education, and also emphasizes its importance for preparing students for the difficult tasks of the present time.
