The peculiarities of algorithmic methods usage in teaching geography. An algorithm is a method of teaching and learning, which requires a more scientific substantiation and a diversification in order to organize a logical and an integral answer and to achieve successful solutions of various tasks in geography. Often algorithms are developed by teachers, but it is important to involve students in the process of finding the new algorithms used, afterwards, in their active learning. In the didactic aspect, an algorithm would find the necessary chaining of operations in the learning activity, being more accessible for students. Thus, an algorithm would imply the acquisition by students of such contents, exactly chained as it was scheduled. Once learned, the algorithm could be easily applied in other cases, whenever any similar problems appear. The purpose of the study is to highlight the peculiarities of using algorithms and the advantages of this method in the educational process, as algorithms can be used in proportion of 30-60% in all grades from gymnasium and secondary school. Practice will lead to algorithm usage not only as a stand-alone method, but as one side of each of the known methods.
