The main onis the low geospatial education of teachers. The purpose of this study is to develop a curriculum for advancetraining courses and an experimental study of its effectiveness by analyzing the content of the school’s geographeducational programs and studying the demands of geography teachers for geospatial knowledge. During thstudy, such general scientific methods as review, analysis, synthesis of scientific papers, study, comparisoof regulatory documents on education were used. Based on the analysis of the role of GST in the curriculof Kazakhstan’s secondary education and a survey study of the professional needs of geography teachers igeospatial education, 2-level (basic, advanced) training programs of advanced training courses for geographteachers, an additional manual for it, have been developed. The effectiveness of the basic level curriculum habeen proven by an experimental study. The results of “pretest” and “posttest” from 24 teachers participating ithe experiment showed that after the refresher course, the spatial skills of the course participants increase from “insufficient” and “average” to “high” and “very high”. The research carried out supports the introduction oGST in school geography and contributes to speeding up this process.
