This article explores the relevance of employing digital modeling technologies in the teaching of geography under the current conditions of educational digital transformation. Such technologies provide opportunities for the visualization of spatial processes, foster students’ cognitive engagement, and increase their interest in the subject.

Within the framework of modernizing geographic education, the article substantiates the importance of digital modeling, analyzes the prospects of its integration into Kazakhstan’s educational system, and identifies key challenges that hinder its effective implementation. Among the primary obstacles are the insufficient level of teachers’ digital competence and the shortage of adapted instructional and methodological resources. For successful integration, it is essential to ensure teacher training, the development of 3D modeling skills, and systematic methodological support.

Furthermore, the article examines theoretical and practical aspects of applying digital modeling in higher education institutions. The results of an experimental study are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of modeling technologies in enhancing students’ learning motivation, developing creative abilities, and contributing to their emotional well-being.

The practical significance of the study lies in providing concrete recommendations for introducing digital modeling into the educational system. In particular, effective strategies are proposed for integrating these technologies into the teaching of geography at the university level, aimed at improving educational quality and fostering the creative potential of students.
