Илтгэлийн хураангуй: Remote sensing is a rapidly growing technology and is one important in the satellite research. This is always
viewed as a discipline that is integrated with other disciplines such as Photogrammetry, GIS and computer
science. In 2009, the description of GIS and Remote Sensing was firstly established in textbooks of Mongolian
high school. In addition, this paper is focused on how it established on the textbook or curriculum of high
school and how to improve it. This paper aimed to determine the problem and reason which are rising
from this and to compare context in textbooks. According to the study, it is revealed that the authors of
textbooks more concentrated on giving theoretical general concept of GIS and Remote Sensing and also
provide exercises related to observing changes of cloudiness on the satellite image and to work process
on the Google Earth software. The exercisesusing Quantum GIS open source software were added newly
in textbook 2012. Therefore, the assignments using Mongolian GIS and Remote Sensing method were
added in textbook in the last years. These assignments were more interesting and beneficial for students.
For example, analysis guidelines exemplified by a forest database that how analyze to access to Mongolian
Environmental database, National Environmental database center and World Wildlife Fund.This study
determined the advantages and disadvantages and the way of development, geospatial technologies, to
stimulate geographical thinking and how to improve geospatial skills based on questionnaires which was
taken from 30 teachers and 200 students of high school in Mongolia.
