The Role of Bloom’s Taxonomy and Digital Technology in Improving Map Reading and Interpretation Skills in Geography: A Case Study of Kisarawe District, Tanzania

This study explores the role of digital technology in enhancing Geography education, particularly in improving students' map reading and interpretation skills. Traditional teaching methods often fail to develop spatial thinking, but interactive tools like Google Earth provide engaging learning experiences. Using a descriptive correlational research design, the study analyzed the role of digital tools on students’ performance in Kisarawe District, involving 144 students. The findings revealed significant improvements, especially in higher-order cognitive skills, following the integration of digital tools guided by Bloom’s Taxonomy. While digital technology proves effective, challenges such as the digital divide and teacher training must be addressed for successful implementation. Policymakers and educators must invest in infrastructure and pedagogical adaptation to modernize Geography instruction and ensure equitable access to digital learning resources.

Abstract

This study explores the role of digital technology in enhancing Geography education, particularly in improving students' map reading and interpretation skills. Traditional teaching methods often fail to develop spatial thinking, but interactive tools like Google Earth provide engaging learning experiences. Using a descriptive correlational research design, the study analyzed the role of digital tools on students’ performance in Kisarawe District, involving 144 students. The findings revealed significant improvements, especially in higher-order cognitive skills, following the integration of digital tools guided by Bloom’s Taxonomy. While digital technology proves effective, challenges such as the digital divide and teacher training must be addressed for successful implementation. Policymakers and educators must invest in infrastructure and pedagogical adaptation to modernize Geography instruction and ensure equitable access to digital learning resources.
