Application of Content Analysis of News Resources in the Media in Geography Teaching at an In-Depth Level

Relevance. Since 2023, practical work with the use of content analysis of news resources in the media and publications has been provided in geography education at an in-depth level. The lack of recommen-dations on the use of information sources, selection criteria for news media, examples of the structure of tasks-questions to the text makes it difficult to apply content analysis in educational activities.

Aim. To identify and describe the methodological techniques for using content analysis of news resources in the media in teaching geography at an in-depth level.

Methodology: system analysis, design, systematization, generalization, synthesis. Scientific novelty and/or theoretical and/or practical significance. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that the requirements and criteria for the selection of news media publications for content analysis in geography lessons have been developed; examples of news media publications for the use in geography lessons in high school have been presented; task questions for news media texts have been developed; recommendations on the system for evaluating students' answers have been given. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that the concept of «Content analysis» is considered in application to the methodology of teaching geography. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the proposed methodological materials can be applied by geography teachers in teaching geography at an in-depth level.

Results. Based on the generalization of the results obtained, the expediency of using content analysis of news resources in the media in geography lessons (advanced level) in order to achieve the planned learning outcomes is determined.

Conclusions. The use of texts and text excerpts in teaching geography prepares the graduate to complete tasks with a detailed answer in SFE-11 (State Final Examination) in geography, develops functional literacy, critical thinking, ability to argue and draw conclusions.
