PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF CARTOGRAPHIC ACTIVITY OF FUTURE GEOGRAPHY TEACHERS

Pedagogical conditions for the development of cartographic activity among future geography teachers, an essential part of professional training, are considered in the article. Changes in the educational space defined the role of future teachers in the educational process. In the context of the development of digital technologies and the increasing demands on academic programs, teachers must have the competencies to use cartographic methods in the educational process effectively. The study aims to determine the pedagogical conditions that contribute to the formation of cartographic activities of future geography teachers. In research, activity and competence approaches are analysed as modern theoretical frameworks for the formation of cartographic activity. The methods and means of forming cartographic activities are described. In the educational system, special attention is paid to the practical bases of carrying out cartographic activities. To determine the pedagogical conditions, a questionnaire was administered to the participants. The survey questions were compiled using a Likert scale. In the research, the pedagogical conditions necessary for cartographic activity are defined, and suggestions for improvement are provided. These conditions will effectively shape cartographic activity and can serve as a basis for increasing teachers' cartographic training. In conclusion, the main findings of the research are summarised, and the importance of developing cartographic activities as an integral part of the formation of a modern geography teacher as a professional specialist is emphasised.
