RESEARCHING SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY: EXPERIENCES AND POSSIBILITIES

Summary/Abstract: Reflecting on research experiences does not only have the intention of socializing some of the findings but also that of comparing contexts and socio-cultural realities that shake up the teaching of geography and about which it is necessary to delve into even more. In this sense, it is also pertinent to be able to compare and contrast other experiences with the aim of providing pathways that will allow diverse ways of teaching, thinking and constructing spatial thought from the perspective of the school. The main outcome of the current deliberation is to compare uncertainties, illusions, projects, and ideas, among others, around school geography, its challenges, tendencies and possibilities. Geopaideia research group has spent more than fifteen years to reflect on the current state of geographic education not only in the Colombian and Latin American contexts, but also analyzes the global world with the intention of finding opportunities and to suggest alternative ways teaching space according to contemporary societies and territories. Concern has taken special focus on research projects that the group ahead, but also networking and linkages with other research groups in the world, so that roam the roads safer and to accurate and for teaching geography.
