| description | This study thoroughly investigates the effects of utilizing maps as educational tools for children, aiming to enhance pupils' cognitive abilities and improve the overall educational system within primary schools. By exploring the potential benefits of incorporating cartographic materials into the curriculum, this research sheds light on their positive impact on children's intellectual growth and the educational framework at the elementary level, such as primary schools. The primary aim of this investigation is to deliver an interactive and compelling educational resource tailored for pupils aged between 7 and 10 years old. Pre-test and post-test were conducted with 377 primary school pupils in Tetovo, North Macedonia. Employing a comprehensive mixed-methods approach and through a meticulous analysis of the potential benefits of integrating maps into the pedagogical framework, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the positive effects they can have on children's skill acquisition and the overall efficacy of the educational system. Ultimately, the findings of this study are expected to inform educational stakeholders by furnishing empirical evidence on the advantages of incorporating maps into the learning process for young learners, thus contributing to more effective educational practices. The study's findings demonstrate a predominantly favorable reception, emphasizing the efficacy and educational utility of the maps and atlases among young pupils. The analysis shows that employing the maps and atlas led to an average enhancement in pupils' learning abilities, with an approximate mean increase of 31.45%. |
