The article is devoted to questions of designing and use of educational and methodological providing of the school subject on the example of geography. The features of the contents and the application sphere of the term «educational and methodological providing» are considered, approaches to the structure of its components are found out. The definition of the term «educational and methodological providing» on the example of school geography is formulated. The structure of educational and methodological providing as a part of two blocks is offered: the first block – is invariable (internal, difficult) which includes three groups of means (programmatically standard, educational and methodological); the second – is variable (external, easy) which includes special means of support. The formation of educational and methodological providing of the productive information environment by components which provide educational activity of all the participants, carrying out educational, educative and developing functions is grounded. It is found out that as a result of integration into the universal information space the educational and methodological providing receives opportunities to self-development. Its parameters become adequate to parameters of the open information environment: variety of sources, pluralism of the contents, creative approach of use. Thus the value of information selection, proceeding from its compliance to the put tasks, reliability, existence of necessary functions, possibility of effective use in a concrete educational situation increases. It is stated that on the one hand educational and methodological providing is a necessary condition of educational process implementation in unity of its purposes, contents, methods and organizational forms, and on the other hand it forms the basis for self-development for the purpose of conscious mastering by pupils the studied material, their personal development, and also professional growth of the teacher. Transformation of educational and methodological providing consists of inter-structural changes and the output into the world information space. The variety of study means of the second block causes redundancy of information which provides variability of the teacher’s and pupils’ educational trajectory by the way of differentiation and individualization of the study process.
