DIGITAL CHALLENGES TO GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION IN BULGARIA

Abstract

The educational system in Bulgaria, as a building block of social development, has always met the challenges it faces. An information society based on knowledge in the context of broad informatization puts specific requirements on education. They are related to the formation of personalities who, confidently in their current times, will be able to fulfill different social roles in the digital age. Modern pupils, as members of this society, have certain needs, which may require a reorganization of some paradigms in geographic education based on the broad application of information technologies and methods of working with them. Geographic education in the context of the global information boom will only achieve its goals if it shows flexibility in conventional forms and learning tools and accepts the challenges of today's new information technology. Research methods: Theoretical analysis, empirical analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis and evaluation.
