MODERN PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Abstract. In the professional activity of a geography teacher there is always room for research, 
for pedagogical creativity, and not at the level of traditional methods, but at the next level -
technological. The development of technology as an integral part of the subject's methodology 
provides for a guaranteed pedagogical result of the teacher's work. And this result is revealed by 
students when assessing the quality of their training in this subject. The modern Ukrainian school 
needs a fundamentally new system of education, which, based on the best traditions, would take into 
account the individual characteristics of students. The article deals with modern pedagogical 
technologies used in teaching geography in secondary schools. The set of pedagogical technologies 
is quite extensive. In our study, we have grouped them into three main groups: explanatory and 
illustrative pedagogical teaching technologies, personality-oriented teaching technologies and 
developmental teaching technologies. Depending on the purpose of their use, technologies can 
perform different functions in the educational process and complement each other.
