Methodological and Methodical Approaches to Organizing an Experiment in a School Geography Course

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of using an experiment in a school geography course. Materials and methods: The information base is domestic and foreign research on the use of experiments in the natural sciences. Analytical, modelling and natural science methods were used in the study. Results and discussion. This article discusses the use of experimentation in a school geography course. The concept of experiment from different perspectives and different types of scientific research is given. Different types of classifications of experimental activities are used. Multivariate experiments reveal a wide range of possibilities for use in the study of school geography course. The structural models have been developed that enable simulation experiments to be carried out in geography lessons. Conclusion. Experimental activities develop students' independence and cognitive interest in learning geography. The proposed approach will increase the effectiveness of the learning process in a modern school.
