To determine the dynamics of the territory humidity y, the time series of the monthly amount of precipitation at ten meteorological stations of the oblast were used for two periods: 1961-1990 and 1961-2016. Using statistical methods, features of the monthly precipitation amount distribution for twelve months were determined.\u0000\u0000The main material. Modern climatic changes, expressed in high air temperatures, are crucial for the formation of moisture within the country or region. Humidification regime is formed under the influence of both large-scale atmospheric processes and physical and geographical factors of the investigated area: landscape, presence of water objects, vegetation cover. The value of the monthly rainfall in winter indicates that in the decade of 1961-1970 it was characterized by an increase of up to 13 mm at all stations in the region. During the next decades arid conditions were observed at the rest of meteorological stations. Significant decrease in the amount of precipitation was observed in the period between 1991-2000at the station Velykyi Burluk (13 mm). In the spring period, there is a general trend towards a slight increase in the amount of precipitation. The value of monthly rainfall in the summer and autumn has a tendency to growth. The analysis of the calculated average parameters and the probability of atmospheric precipitation have showed that changes in the amount of precipitation in the region are characterized by high temporal variability. The change in rainfall is volatile in 2-3 years.\u0000\u0000Conclusions and further research. By comparing the data for two periods (1961-1990, 1961-2016), the peculiarities of changes in the amount of precipitation during the second half of the last century and the beginning of this century were revealed in the region. It has been established that the precipitation is characterized by high variability over the territory, which is reflected in the humidification regime. In general, there is a tendency to a decrease in the amount of precipitation in November-March periods. The spatial-temporal changes in the amount of atmospheric precipitation in the territory of Kharkiv region by seasons have been revealed: their changes at stations have the greatest amplitudes in winter; maximum values are fixed in the summer. The unstable moisture regime remains in the spring and autumn.","PeriodicalId":189250,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Education and Cartography","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134080613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The practical basis of the research is the experience in the development and publication of textbooks-notebooks with a printed basis. They are one of the main components of the educational and methodological complex in geography. The set consists of a notebook with a printed basis for working in the classroom and two notebooks for completing homework, as well as handouts, tests, guidelines for teachers, information and communication technologies (ICT) support of lessons. Main material. The author has analysed the implementation of the project from primary to high school. Features of teaching geography in project classes are illustrated and active methods of teaching geography are considered in the paper. The algorithm of some modern methods of teaching geography is presented with examples of practical work and research. The geographical competencies acquired by students are listed, considering the structure of home work. There are tasks by level of complexity, tests, mini-projects, research, and advanced tasks. Also, tasks for preparing for external independent assessment (EIT), compiled in accordance with the current program of external independent assessment in geography. To test the knowledge, skills and abilities of ninth graders, test papers have been developed, specifying the structure and evaluation of control works. The process of implementation of educational and methodological support, in particular, notebooks with a printed base, created during the project implementation, is considered. Conclusions. The article highlights the importance of visualization of educational material through ICT. The use of them contributes to a more successful assimilation of the material, supports interest in geography. To improve the teaching of geography in experimental classes, educational and methodological complexes are annually updated by creative teams of geographers and practicing teachers. The analysis of school performance has showed that students in project classes show better results compared to students in regular classes, which confi rms the importance of continuing the work of the all-Ukrainian scientifi c and pedagogical project «Intellect of Ukraine».","PeriodicalId":189250,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Education and Cartography","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124250661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main attention is paid to the analysis of the elements of cartographic literacy of pupils, which is formed when studying geography at school. As such elements, not only theoretical knowledge of schoolchildren about the map, but also practical skills to work with the mathematical basis of the map, cartographic image, conventional signs, carry out measurements on the map, and find geographical coordinates are highlighted. Cartographic competencies higher level of pupils are the ability to analyze geographic objects using maps, determine their dynamics, make geographic forecasts, models, apply a map when conducting geographic expertise and design. At the same time, attention is focused on the fact that the competences of cartographic literacy of schoolchildren are initially formed at the initial stage of studying geography at school, and will be claimed and developed throughout the entire geographical education. Cartographic literacy of schoolchildren is based on the use of maps for studying objects and phenomena displayed on them. Its elements are consistently and systematically formed and developed in geography lessons and are of practical importance both in the educational process and in everyday life. Traditionally, in the process of teaching geography, tasks associated with determining the geographical coordinates of objects, measuring distances and orientation on the map are used. In order to increase the creative focus in the study of geography, you can use design tasks based on the use of maps, methods of cartometry and morphometry, modeling of geographical objects, solving tasks of a problem character.\u0000\u0000Conclusions and further research. These tasks of cartographic subjects significantly expand the competencies of schoolchildren and their horizons, increase the interest in the academic subject and introduce the creative component into the educational process. Further research may be related to the determination of the most effective methodologies for the development and expansion of the cartographic competencies of schoolchildren both in geography and extracurricular activities.","PeriodicalId":189250,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Education and Cartography","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122157482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
