Abstract

The article is dedicated to the development of an educational local history atlas for the East Kazakhstan Region (within the borders of 1997–2022), aimed at integrating local history knowledge into the educational process. Local history is an important interdisciplinary field that plays a special role in forming a comprehensive understanding of the native region among students. The methodological basis for developing the atlas is the classic principles of atlas cartography. The stages of creating the atlas include: analysis of educational standards and programs, determination of the atlas structure, collection and analysis of materials, development of the atlas content, design, testing and review, printing, and distribution of the atlas. The materials of the developed atlas cover various geographical information about the region, including geological structure, climatic conditions, hydrography, features of the plant and animal world, natural zoning, as well as economic development and the population of the region. The collected data are adapted to the comprehension level of middle school students, ensuring the accessibility and clarity of the material. As an example, the work details the technology of compiling climatological maps. Special attention is given to the formulation of questions and tasks related to the maps. The research results show that the educational local history atlas contributes to deepening students’ knowledge about the East Kazakhstan Region. The atlas includes physical-geographical and socio-economic maps, as well as textual information that allows students to better understand their surrounding environment. An important result is the development of critical thinking and information analysis skills among students, thanks to the tasks and questions included in the atlas. The article demonstrates that creating an educational local history atlas is a complex and multifaceted process, requiring the consideration of modern educational approaches and technologies, as well as compliance with educational standards and programs. The research results highlight the significance of such an atlas in the educational process, contributing to the development of students’ cultural and analytical competencies. The final stage of the work on the atlas includes its reproduction and distribution among the schools of the East Kazakhstan Region, as well as considering the possibility of digital dissemination for use in lessons and extracurricular activities.
