This is an automatically translated description

The textbook pays great attention to the implementation of a competence-based approach to learning geography, which not only favours the development of key competences (such as the ability to learn, communication in the official language, initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness, environmental literacy, information and digital, social and community competences), but also forms the subject competence, which includes the key geographical competences (educational and cognitive, health and safety, and general cultural competences), communicative and informational-geographical competences), and interdisciplinary geographical competences (natural-mathematical, regional, cartographic and other competences of a person).

Each section starts with information about the expected results of learning the material, and each paragraph has the heading «Guess», which will help to link life experience with new material and deepen and broaden competences.

The rubric «Pomirkuite» is intended to prevent the mechanical memorisation of the content of paragraphs, to draw attention to the essentials of the topic, to the diversity of the material being studied. To consolidate the main theses of each paragraph there is a rubric «Questions and tasks» and to summarise what has been learnt in the topic – rubric «Check yourself». The rubric «For the diligent» contains additional information that will help to deepen the study of geography. The textbook contains various illustrative materials, such as models, diagrams, pictures, diagrams, pictures, diagrams, photos. The theory of the course in the textbook is closely connected with practice. The textbook contains conditions and tasks of the programme Practical works and researches, which will give an opportunity to gain practical skills and skills in geographical researches.
