The article gives psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the process of acquiring geographic knowledge. It is noted that forming geographic knowledge takes place at three levels of mental reflection of surrounding reality. They are: a sensory-perceptual level, an idea level and a conception level. Perceptual images are formed at the sensory-perceptual level (as the result of a treatment of sensations). These images are fundamental in forming geographic ideas and conceptions. It is stressed that a very important moment in the process of forming object knowledge is perception. It should not be a passive contemplation, but it should be a goal-directed observation. It is noted that at the idea level of the structure of object image is changing when transferring from feeling and perception to idea. Some its features are underlined (stressed) and some features are reduced. Conception is defined by leading elements of the content of geographic knowledge at school. It is reported that one part of them is adopted by pupils on the basis of ideas, imagination forms, wider conceptions and another is learned by pupils on the basis of generalization of previous conceptions. It is emphasized that all the listed levels of mental reflection are correlated in the real life activity of each person. It is noted that one or another mental process or concrete form of activity never exists separately on the certain level of reflection, but it defines its specific structure. What exactly level will be leading depends on the aim of educational activity and tasks. The interdependence of forming geographic knowledge and different kinds of activity is emphasized, because knowledge is formed as a result of various activities (activity of perception, activity of imagination, practical-subject activity) and at the same time the knowledge will guide and direct an activity.The article defines the main structural components of the forming process of geographic knowledge – perceiving information about the object under study, idea consolidation in memory, practical application of knowledge. The perspective of our research will be an identification of the ways to improve the efficiency of the process of formation of geographical ideas and concepts. 142
