Abstract
ICT progress and invasion in education started in post-modern age. The majority of schoolchildren tend to learn science and geography at a low level, there is a lack of specialists in scientifc areas in the entire world. This research was done with the aim to identify whether visualization could stimulate female schoolchildren’s motivation in learning geography and science. A survey of 1934 schoolchildren, grades 9 and 10, from general and secondary schools was carried out. This paper focuses on data of female population. Obtained results suggest that visualization as a tool in general could be highly motivating for female schoolchildren, especially for those in grade 9, learning geography: they would like to learn new topics and be more active in lessons. It was also found out that visualization stimulates science learning by girls much more than their learning of geography.
