Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Students should know and understand: - basic principles and methods of database development for GIS compilation.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• As a result of the training, students should form certain opinions about the methods of working with geographical information systems.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Students' communication abilities are manifested in their ability to collectively discuss various problematic issues, in joint participation in reports at conferences, scientific publications and various competitions

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Improve existing and introduce advanced methods of conducting research and conducting geological exploration - during their studies, students acquire specific theoretical and practical skills in working with computer graphics and demonstrate the ability to learn, which is confirmed by testing their knowledge at different levels.

Teaching methods

Project-based learning technologies - the organization of the educational process in accordance with the algorithm of step-by-step solution of a problem problem or performance of an educational task. Problem-based learning technologies - the organization of the educational process, which involves the formulation of problematic issues, the creation of educational problem situations to stimulate the active cognitive activity of students. Interactive technologies – the organization of the educational process, which involves active and nonlinear interaction of all participants, achieving on this basis a personally significant educational result for them.
