Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become integral tools in modern geography classes, enhancing the learning experience and providing students with practical skills. This article explores the role of GIS in geography education, analyzing existing literature, discussing methods of implementation, presenting results of its impact, and engaging in a thoughtful discussion about its implications. Through this exploration, we aim to highlight the significance of GIS in fostering spatial awareness, analytical thinking, and technological proficiency among geography students.
