Abstract:
The teaching form is understood as an organizational form of teaching by which the teacher implements the teaching process through different methods in different environment. At present, the educational process applies more and less emphasis on the understanding of physical-geographical patterns and relations between individual components of the landscape sphere. Students are able to understand the patterns of socio-historical development, relationships and connections between natural and social phenomena. If we want students mastered the concepts, facts and principles from various scientific fields of geography, we have to derive context, find causal relationships, possible consequences of phenomena and situations. Therefore, it is necessary to apply practical activities and exercises in the geography educational process, which give to the students a better picture of the landscape as a whole composed of smaller components that are interconnected. It is necessary to choose the appropriate methods, means and forms of educational work in relation to individual and age specificities of students. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to propose specific activities in teaching geography of the regional landscape with a focus on nature conservation.Keywords:
