METHODS OF SPATIAL DISPLAY OF NATURAL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF STUDENTS

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of forming professional competences of students when integrating aspects of geography and life safety through the prism of geographic information systems. The possibilities of implementing GIS technologies in the teaching of relevant disciplines on the basis of solving applied problems relevant to the regional educational environment are investigated. The directions of using GIS-technology in involving students in the development and implementation of applied research projects on identification and mapping of natural hazards in their region are reflected. The work draws a conclusion about ensuring a deeper assimilation of knowledge by students through the use of GIS technologies in the field of geographical education. The authors point out the effectiveness of such interdisciplinary approach, which is confirmed by practice of teaching.
