    Abstract: In the last years research projects were developed on the use of Web-based map serviceson teaching activities at Secondary level. Inspired by these projects, a research was organized on how collaborative cartography can support the Geography teaching activities in Hungarian Secondary Schools. The idea was tested in the Fazekas Mihály Secondary School in Budapest, counting with the participation of a 9th grade group formed by 31 pupils. The survey was formed by a short questionnaire to determine the knowledge on map-based services on the Web; a presentation on Google map services and Google My Maps anda practice to make a map. Homework was also given: the creation of an own map on a topic related to the Geography of Water, working in teams of two or three pupils. Thirteen maps were created, which were evaluated by the authors according to four categories: the use of symbols, colours, layers and the grade of detail of data. The experience working with the pupils was positive: the maps evaluated as high, appropriate and average can be considered works of good quality, which include personal solutions to improve and organize the represented information. This research is an introduction to a more complex project on Collaborative Cartography for Hungarian Elementary and Secondary Schools.

    Abstract: Nowadays unfortunately the geography is underrepresented in the Hungarian education system. It is not easy to define exactly the reasons of this bad situation, but according the authors it is necessary to revise the Hungarian Geography Curriculum (HGC). The opinion of Hungarian primary and secondary school teachers were asked about the recent curriculum. More than one hundred respondent answered the questions. The respondents underlay that the HGC is thronged, and there are too much lexical knowledgebased items in it. According to most of the respondents it is needed to change them into more problem-oriented, exercise- and competence-based education standards. Based on previous studies it can be concluded, that the usefulness of the geographical knowledge is not clear for most of the geography teachers, and for the secondary school students, too. Our and previous studies show that the new curriculum should focus more attention on the connection between the real life and the geography education.
