With easier access to technology and the World Wide Web, visual material is now more easily accessible than ever. The master's thesis focuses on the use of visual materials as a teaching method in the process of teaching the geography of the Alpine regions of Slovenia. In the thesis, we describe the role of visual material in teaching geography and it's importance as it has been in practice for a very long time. It alows us to indirectly show geographical processes and phenomena that we could not otherwise show students in the learning unit. Many geographical phenomena and processes can be observed in the Alpine regions of Slovenia, therefore in the following literature we describe the natural-geographical and socio-geographical characteristics of the said regions. In the central part of the master's thesis we analyzed the 9th grade geography curriculum from the point of view of the inclusion of visual materials and selected learning objectives that deal with the mentioned landscapes. After we shot and presented a selection of photographs and videos from the Alpine regions of Slovenia for the selected operational learning objectives. We also included some tasks related to the visual material, which are useful for both geography teachers and 9th grade students.
