Abstract:
Geographical education in the post-Soviet countries after independence is oriented to the
Western model of teaching disciplines. What positive and negative results have been obtained to date are
discussed in this article. In the last four years, the educational process in schools has been focused on an
updated program. As a result, an interesting question arises: how do we teach students? And this question,
what subject we are studying, is moved to the background. The mass transfer of school subjects to a new
model of education led to disintegration. In this article, the authors try to analyze the state of geographical
education in Kazakhstan, to characterize the process of studying geographical disciplines from the seventh
to the eleventh grade. As the authors of the updated textbook, we found many inconsistencies and issues
that need to be addressed immediately. There is a model of geographical education, using the material of the
updated program to preserve the traditions accumulated over the years of geographical education and
upbringing.
