Abstract

Our study focuses on the theoretical and methodological substantiation of integrating Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping into local history and tourism-oriented educational activities as an effective tool for developing spatial thinking among school students. The relevance of the research is driven by the need to enhance spatial competencies amid the digitalization of education and the strengthening of students' local identity. We propose an original model, GeoEduMap, which integrates pedagogical, cognitive, and technological components, including tiered diagnostics, task typologies, cartographic layers, and routes of interaction. The methodology is based on systemic-activity, cultural-historical, and cartographic approaches. Special attention is given to content localization through the use of authentic local history materials. The results of the study expand the methodological horizons of both local history and geographic education by integrating digital tools into meaning-oriented spatial learning practices.
