Abstract

This article examines the development of design competence in future geography teachers by exploring its theoretical foundations and practical applications. It highlights the role of innovative pedagogical technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in fostering creativity, independent thinking, and problem-solving skills among students. Drawing from international practices and local educational reforms, the article offers practical recommendations to integrate theory with practice effectively. Case studies, such as managing urbanization’s environmental impacts and efficient resource utilization, illustrate the transformative potential of the project method in geography education. The discussion emphasizes the alignment of educational outcomes with global challenges, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and underscores the need for systemic adoption of these approaches in teacher training programs.
