Abstract
Map reading skills are considered one of the subject competencies of future geography teachers. Scientific sources and works of foreign scientists related to the concept of map reading skills were analyzed. The purpose of the study is to develop map reading skills of future geography teachers through PDCA stages “plan-do-check-action". The PDCA stages method was used in the research to develop map reading skills. Each stage should be started with proper planning of the works to be done with the geographical map. The tasks associated with the map are constantly executed and the actions during execution are checked for correctness or incorrectness. Actions associated with the map should be repeated to improve. It was found that map reading skills can be developed if future geography teachers repeat these stages. As a result of the research, it is possible to develop the map reading skills of future geography teachers by reading the symbols of the geographic map, understanding conventional signs, and performing practical work related to the map. Types of geography tasks for development of map reading skills were offered.
