The study of the STEM educational process by students of the Geography educational program,
the study of cartographic support in the course of practice, is relevant.
During the research, various main problems were identified, such as the need to deepen the
study of the theoretical foundations of GIS technology, the use of current ArcGIS and limited
access to research papers, and lack of experience in modern methods of data processing and
analysis in the Google form. Work was compiled and conducted with students. To develop students'
skills in scientific research and cartographic study of STEM education, practical exercises have
been developed and completed during the educational process. In the course of the task-based
research, maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software package and a method for analyzing data on
them was used.
The main hypothesis is that cartographic approaches contribute to the development of research
skills. As a result, positive indicators were obtained based on cartographic data analysis. The results
obtained in practice contribute to the improvement of students' research work, and the proposed
methods make it possible to effectively evaluate STEM assignments.
The method of effective use of cartographic data in research work in practical classes allowed
us to structure and process the results at the end of the experiment, completing assignments among
25 undergraduates. Data mapping using the method provided students with accurate analysis and
integration of scientific research. The results showed positive indicators, based on the data, the
conclusions of the study were drawn and conclusions were drawn on the assessment of tasks based
on STEM.
