OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING GLOBAL GEOGRAPHIC PROCESSES THROUGH THE CASE-STUDY METHOD
Abstract
This article analyzes the application of the case-study method in teaching global geographic processes, opportunities for its implementation in the higher education system of Uzbekistan, and potential challenges that may arise along the way. The article presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the case-study method, its pedagogical advantages, various formats, and implementation strategies adapted to Uzbekistan's conditions. Additionally, the article examines the method's compliance with modern educational standards, its ability to respond to labor market demands, and practical issues such as teacher training, creation of quality case materials, and curriculum restructuring. The research resulted in the development of a step-by-step strategy for implementing the case-study method and concrete recommendations for its implementation.
