CONSIDERATION OF THE TOPIC “SOURCES OF GREEN ENERGY” IN GEOGRAPHY, THROUGH PROBLEM-BASED TRAINING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The article examines the concept of “green energy sources”, studied by geography students, using problem-based learning technology. In particular, the situation and features of solar and wind energy in Kazakhstan are considered. And these alternative energy sources are currently one of the pressing problems not only of our country, but also of countries around the world. And the sources of “Alternative Energy” are aimed at the efficient use of natural resources as an inexhaustible source of energy, in the absence of the possibility of regular consumption of exhaustible energy. The development of a green economy is one of the ways to avoid the environmental crisis. The main source of natural green energy on Earth is the inexhaustible energy resources - Wind and Sun. And since Kazakhstan is rich in silicon, the production of photovoltaic modules is carried out using new technologies. In Astana, the Astana Solar plant, which produces photovoltaic modules, is actively involved in the production of solar cells from Kazakhstani silicon. What is very important for human life is that these energy sources do not produce radioactive substances. In 2013, by Decree of the Head of State, the Concept of Kazakhstan’s transition to a “green” economy was adopted. The short-term vision until 2020 and the long-term vision until 2030-2050 indicate the need to develop indicators in the future. Therefore, there is a need for new technologies developed on the basis of green or renewable energy, which contribute to the improvement and renewal of the country's nature and are aimed at not causing harm. In this regard, in order to shape the cognitive activity of students, these tasks are organized through individual and group learning methods using problem-based technologies.
