Keyword: «geographical nomenclature»

based on the statistical and analytical report on the results of the Unified State Exam in geography in the Kirov region for 2025, the article reveals persistent deficits in graduate training, including poor knowledge of geographical nomenclature, lack of formation of the conceptual apparatus, difficulties in establishing cause-and-effect relationships and a low level of completion of tasks on the interrelation of natural and socio-economic processes. It is shown that traditional teaching methods do not allow to overcome these disadvantages. The necessity of introducing activity-based and competence-oriented technologies, such as case studies, technology for the development of critical thinking, situational modeling and systematic work with various sources of information, is substantiated. Specific methodological solutions for differentiated work with students of different levels of training are proposed.
