MAKING THE ELECTRONIC MAP FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING THE SUBJECT OF THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF CONTINENTS

Abstract

Teaching and learning the physical geography of continents at university have had many shortcomings  for a long time, which are the lack of learning resources, facilities and especially the serious lack of a system of specialist maps. This has had significant impacts on the quality and effectiveness of students’ learning. After the resources have been prepared and accumulated for years, recently the electronic map about native natural plants and wild animals on all 6 continents of the world has been completed. The trial has been implemented and has obtained some results as follows: Time for teaching in class by speech method is significantly reduced, while students’ ability to acquire knowledge increases significantly; At the same time, the sense of learning and self-learning are also enhanced. Students become more positive, proactive and more diligent, which results in the better learning outcomes.
