METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE HYDROLOGICAL TERMS FORMATION: A HISTORICAL JOURNEY

Abstract

In the article, the leading education role in the social significance of pedagogy as well as the importance of the development of the methodology of teaching school subjects is focused on. Methodology must be aimed at the evolution of the education system in general and the fundamentals of certain school subjects and courses, in particularly, their formation on the principles of the personality-oriented teaching. It is noted that each period of the methodological science development is peculiar for its own features. One of the prominent peculiarities of the modern methodology of teaching Geography is its reorientation at the fundamentals of the personality-oriented teaching. School geographical education has some prospects in the reorientation of the academic vector directed at the pupil’s needs. One of its factors is the formation of the pupil’s geographical world outlook. The author states that in the process of the educative and cognitive activity, the pupil’s selfrealization is possible if the person who is taught believes in his/her individuality and soleness, is conscious of the sense of life and one’s own skills. The experience of the creation of the Geography teaching tools underscores the topicality of the creation of the educational and methodological series for all geographical courses. These series comprise a textbook, a handbook for a pupil (a workbook), a school atlas, a teacher’s book (methodology of teaching a certain course in Geography), and electronic education means.
