The article highlights the enormous potential of graph databases in the context of teaching and learning. The publication emphasises that, despite technological complexity, graph databases can be intuitive and accessible to users regardless of their level of ICT proficiency. Particular attention is paid to graph databases that enable graphical visualisation of relationships between objects, facilitating the understanding of complex structures. The practical example discussed in the article illustrates that with simple instructions, it is possible to use such tools effectively without in-depth IT knowledge. It is pointed out that despite their many advantages, graph databases do not replace other types of databases, such as relational databases, but are a valuable complement to them in terms of analysing relationships and structures. The article emphasises that the inclusion of graph databases in the teaching process helps to develop competences in the field of research model prototyping, supports the learning of relational thinking and allows for a slightly different approach to shaping the analytical skills of students and researchers.
