Remote sensing (RS) materials,an essential component of science education in school geography education,are highly effective in integrating the major components of the Earth system. However, despite the demand for the use of RS materials in teaching school geography, the level of use remains low. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the potential for teaching students geographical literacy through a systematic literature review on the potential use of RS materials in school geography teaching. In this study, we reviewed articles published in scientific journals indexed in Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases using the PRISMA method. The result of the study found that out of the 25 selected papers, 32% of the papers aimed to be creative and motivational and 24% aimed to explain the benefits of RS materials in geography education. In addition, it was found that 6 papers (24%) were written based on mixed research method, 4 papers (16%) were written based on qualitative data analysis methods and 4 papers (16%) on semantic network analysis. In terms of number, 2020 (20% ) was identified as the year of publication of the largest number of articles. While 16% of authors published their research in the journal Remote Sensing. Thus, we have identified positive experiences from Western European countries such as Germany, UK, Greece, Spain and Portugal in using RS materials in teaching geography in schools. This study seeks to contribute to the literature by justifying the effectiveness of the use of RS materials in increasing the Geospatial cognitive abilities of schoolchildren.
