The relevance of interdisciplinary integration and the application of an interdisciplinary approach in the contemporary educational context is driven by the need to develop and enhance key competencies among students. This necessity also stems from the fact that the formation of critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills is inherently linked to the establishment of causal relationships across different fields of knowledge. Knowledge and skills acquired in isolation within individual disciplines and subj...

In today-s world, where climate change and environmental protection are becoming increasingly pressing issues, education needs to adapt to prepare young generations to understand and respond to these challenges. Integrating Earth sciences into the classroom is essential for building environmental awareness and developing sustainable practices.

The main goal is to enhance the academic performance of students by providing a ...

From a scientific point of view, the origins of design thinking can be traced back to the late 1960s. The very concept of "design thinking" appeared in the late 1980s and 1990s, when Rolf Faste began teaching design thinking as a "method of creative action" at Stanford University. Since then, various definitions of this concept have been added to the literature. Although design thinking is a business methodology, today it is widely used in the public, non-governmental, health and education sectors. With a view to ...

The existence and development of geography as a science, as well as the geography training are inconceivable without a geographical map. Geographic maps serve as models of the studied territories, processes and phenomena, which makes them an indispensable tool for exploring and studying the surrounding world. The development of cartography today reaches such a level that geographical maps can depict not only the spatial relationships between objects and phenomena located on the earth's surface, but also their most...

The problems and challenges which contemporary world faces set the leading idea of ?sustainable development? as key aspect of geographic education. In the paper is used the well-known definition for sustainable development ? development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As a result of these tendencies, it can be pointed out three very important concepts in geography didactic ? environmental education, global study and education for s...

An actual problematic question in geography didactic, directly related to the quality and effectiveness of training, is that of the methodological principles. They are defined as the regulatory basic rules and criteria adopted in the practice, the compliance of which determines the optimal organization and effective implementation of the geography training process. The system of principles is open and dynamic. The principles themselves are not independent and isolated from one another, but interact. Principles are...

Geography cannot be limited to simple and in brief statements in contemporary society and real life. The comprehension of reality and its different and complex aspects assumes the complexity of the geographic research. And the philosophy of construction of the educational (school) geography could not ignore that fact. At the same time, the repeating didactic problems and realities require to answer the following questions: In what is encoded the school geography significance? What are the limits of geographic know...
