CURRENT METHODS AND TOOLS FOR TEACHING THE GEOGRAPHY OF INDUSTRIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX).

The article considers the possibilities of using modern methods and tools in teaching the industry section of economic geography, in particular the geography of the fuel and energy complex. The authors propose to use methods and approaches that take into account the significant changes that occurred at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries during the transition from industrial to post-industrial society and the formation of modern information technologies. The article proposes to increase the involvement of schoolchildren and students in the study of industry geographical sections by combining the classical cartographic method using atlases and traditional maps and the daily use of GIS-technology in smartphones. It is proposed to use real-life cases of modern use of electricity, including those that constitute an urban way of life and create an attractive urban environment. Educational tourism can provide an up-to-date look at the changing geography, the history of the development of energy enterprises. An approach that demonstrates the commitment of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex to the ideas of sustainable development and the use of ESG in their practice is mandatory. It is shown how through effective coordination and cooperation in the cross-educational space between universities, formed a unified educational space to achieve learning outcomes in the field of fuel and energy complex. Thus, the current priorities and approaches in the study of geography at school and university to strengthen the practice-oriented effect of learning are identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
