Abstract
The article highlights the critical importance of quality natural science education for primary school students within the integrated «I Explore the World» curriculum, which aligns with the State Standard of Primary Education's cross-disciplinary approach. The structure, content, and operating principles of the interactive maps «World», «Ukraine. Physical Surface», and the electronic textbook «I Explore the World» are characterised, which function on the resources of the «E-Cartography» educational electronic classroom created by the team at the State Scientific and Production Enterprise «Kartographia». The indicated products align with the ideas specified in the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine «On approval of requirements for interactive electronic supplements to textbooks» dated 19th April 2024, No. 548, and create a foundation for developing components of students' natural science and digital competences, as well as enhancing their cross-cutting skills and subject-specific abilities. Using the content of the digital cartographic manuals under study, the methodological features of organising student learning projects are highlighted, along with the possibilities of visual and textual material for their implementation. Various exercises using the content of the educational electronic manual «I Explore the World» are proposed to establish pair and group interaction among primary school students. The ideas for using interface elements of interactive maps are described, taking into account the age characteristics of students. Teachers in practice have recognised the most valuable assignments as those related to searching for, identifying, and marking geographic object names on outline maps, capturing their contours using an electronic marker, working with map legends, and measuring elevation and depth scales — all of which exemplify the activity-based methodological approach to teaching. The potential of the described digital cartographic manuals for developing the emotional intelligence of primary education students is analysed. Examples from personal practice are provided regarding the application of simulation methods in contextual learning technology.
