Abstract :

The aim of the research is to evaluate a project on the subject of reliefs, which included the use of modern digital technology from the perspective of secondary school students. Since the formative assessment of students also includes a critical self-evaluation of the final products, anonymous surveys were used to determine how the students evaluated the project work, and the use and usefulness of digital technology in geography lessons. Results of this research showed that digital technology encourages students to become more engaged and interested in learning, to reflect on their work and learning, to follow the evaluation criteria, and to achieve better learning outcomes.

Keywords :
