GIS TECHNOLOGY AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING PUPILS' CARTOGRAPHIC SKILLS DURING THE TEACHING OF GEOGRAPHY

Abstract. The special didactic function of GIS is the construction of a three-dimensional model of the area. Its use contributes to the development of spatial thinking and allows displaying information located on a plane in a three-dimensional form, which is not possible when working with traditional paper maps. By superimposing thematic maps or layers on the created 3D model, additional possibilities arise for analyzing cause-and-effect relationships.
