THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TERRITORY CONCEPT IN GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION IN FIELD SCHOOLS

Abstract

Geography is a discipline that collaborates with the formation of the individual, because it brings in its broad scope a socioeconomic and pedagogical role inside and outside the school environment, the one who proposes to teach geography has to understand the different languages ​​and interpretations that permeate reality where it is set. The choice of the concept of territory in the vastness of what geography proposes is given in this study in order to prioritize, in a significant way, a concept of learning contents that adapt to a cognitive view of reality, teaching a concept that is renewed from socio-spatial modifications at the local, regional and global scales, providing education that permeates the cultural plurality that exists in the field. This concept must also be worked on in order to emphasize the notions of location, organization, representation and understanding of the lived space and that these concepts are developed from practices that cherish sociability, such as the construction of the pedagogical practice of free workshops, an activity that proposes to the student teachers an interactive reflection that talks about the various aspects of the territorial dynamics.
