ABSTRACT
This research endeavored to uncover the yet unexplored importance of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing in the teaching of physical geography, specifically in secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. The integration of GIS and remote sensing technology offers students a comprehensive understanding of spatial relationships, enabling them to analyze and interpret physical geography phenomena with greater depth. GIS and remote sensing allow students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, preparing them for future careers in geography and related fields. Secondary schools in certain regions lack the necessary technological infrastructure for the effective implementation of GIS and remote sensing. Incorporating GIS and remote sensing into the curriculum requires training for educators which many teachers lack the expertise needed to effectively teach these technologies. The study aspires to offer valuable insights that can influence educational policies and practices, with the overarching goal of elevating the standards of geography education within the local government area.
