CARTOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF SPATIAL AND PROBLEM PERCEPTION OF EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF TRAINING BACHELORS IN THE DIRECTION OF “TOURISM”)

The article deals with the main issues of the development of spatial-visual thinking of bachelors. The basics of spatial-problem perception of educational information by students of higher educational institutions during the educational process are investigated. The features of graphication and graphic visualization of educational information are revealed. The cartographic approach and its role in the formation of spatial, imaginative thinking of students are substantiated. The infocartographic method is considered as a specific language for working with information in general and educational information in particular. The content of the given method, including the levels of special and professional training, is analyzed in detail. Each level, in turn, consists of blocks that include specific learning elements that gradually become more complex over time. The conceptual apparatus of the infocartographic method is disclosed, the conditions of its implementation, the scope of application, as well as the effectiveness of this method in the professional training of students (on the example of training bachelors in the direction of “Tourism”) are studied. The article also provides the development of a system of levels of formation of organizational skills. Each of the three levels corresponds to a certain set of skills, which is the basis for the next level. At the primary, initial level, the main graphic skills are the construction of elements of a graphic image, the image of a verbal utterance in the form of a grapheme, etc. The next, activity or verbal-graphic level, implies the presence of a wider range of skills in the field of visualization of statistical information, verbal (text) information (text): logical structuring of the text, selection of a graphic image, construction of a grapheme. And the final, scientific and search level, involves such skills as the construction and interpretation of graphemes of various types, visualization of information in professional activities, the creation of logical and graphical models, presentations, tourist maps,information and cartographic competence in general.
