Abstract


This article explores the methodology for teaching historical geography through the integration of modern pedagogical technologies in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education). In the context of an evolving educational landscape, the use of digital tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), virtual reality (VR), interactive maps, and online platforms has shown promising results in enhancing students' engagement, spatial thinking, knowledge retention, and critical thinking skills. This research examines the effectiveness of these technologies in improving the understanding of complex historical-geographical concepts and the development of practical skills in students. The study presents a comparative analysis of traditional and technology-based teaching methods, showing significant improvements in student outcomes. The findings suggest that integrating technology into the historical geography curriculum not only modernizes the teaching process but also supports the broader goal of sustainable, inclusive, and future-oriented education.
