The reasons for changing the paradigm of students ' attitudes towards learning were also revealed. In the course of teaching geography, various methods and techniques have been used so far. And in teaching a child of a rapidly changing society, there was a need to form research skills, influencing the thinking of students. That is why new methods, new classifications are needed. The great scientific and practical significance, effectiveness of this classification, its function as a guide for design, selection and evaluation are analyzed by the authors in the article.
