Abstract

This article critically examines the transformative role of interactive cartographic applications in the professional and methodological preparation of geography teachers. It argues that these digital tools are not merely technological supplements but foundational instruments for cultivating spatial intelligence, inquiry-based pedagogy, and 21st-century teaching competence. Based on a rigorous analysis of global best practices and empirical evidence from pilot implementations, the article proposes a new paradigm for teacher education that centers on geospatial literacy, digital integration, and pedagogical innovation.
