METHODOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF USING INTERACTIVE DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL PLATFORMS IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM DESIGN
Keywords:
geographic information systems, design methodology, digital technologies, higher education, professional competence, spatial thinking, interactive platform, web map, digital feedback.Abstract
This article provides a scientific and methodological analysis of interactive
platforms, collaborative work with geospatial data, and digital feedback. The aim of the
study is to substantiate a testable pedagogical solution for teaching prospective specialists
to design geographic information systems. The research employs methods of comparative
literature analysis, modeling of learning tasks, and criterion-based analysis. The main
conclusion is that a digital environment becomes a meaningful tool for teaching GIS design
when every action performed on the platform is linked to a learning objective, a digital
trace of the process, and criterion-based analysis. The proposed approach considers
technical operations, independent thinking, and learning outcomes as interconnected
components. Rather than presenting quantitative results obtained from experimental
research, the article introduces a methodological model that can be tested in practice.
