Teaching the processes of mountain formation in physical geography using multimedia technologies (Kazakhstan)

Abstract

Relevance. Physical geographical education plays an important role in the system of geographical education. Without mastering physical and geographical knowledge, it is impossible to form knowledge about the process of mountain formation. Teachers can clearly present the dynamic development of the process of mountain formation using multimedia technology in class rooms. However, electronic textbooks, which present an effective method of teaching through multimedia technologies, are not enough. Today, the importance of multimedia applications has increased with the mass distance learning of schoolchildren during the pandemic. Purpose. The study aims at developing an effective methodological basis for teaching the mountain-forming process in school geography. Methodology. Despite the works of scientists who have theoretically studied multimedia technologies, the methodology is not sufficiently studied for introducing new technologies into the learning process. This, in turn, requires a thorough study of the pedagogical aspects of multimedia technologies in geography. Results. This paper analyses the features of teaching geography in Kazakhstan focusing on the analysis of the important role of physical geography in the system of geographical education. This article considers the problem of teaching mountain-forming processes in physical geography. A broad theoretical analysis of folded, wrinkled, folded-axillary mountains was carried out with the classification of mountains by formation, age and height. These data were taken as the theoretical basis of the methodology of teaching the process of mountain formation. Conclusions. The article defines how multimedia technologies can be used in teaching geography in schools of Kazakhstan. The authors proposed a methodology for teaching the process of mountain formation using a multimedia textbook.
