Qué geografía aprender. Qué geografía enseñar

Abstract

The teaching of geography continues to face significant challenges in school and social contexts, being perceived as mechanical and memoristic knowledge, which limits its relevance in current education. This book reflects on the incorrect conceptions that marginalize geography in curricula and on its impact on the lack of knowledge of space and socio-spatial justice. The need to integrate contemporary paradigms in geographic teaching is raised, overcoming traditional approaches and strengthening critical and spatial thinking in students. The publication arises from the research ""What geography to learn, what geography to teach? A reading of school geography in Bogotá"", structured in four chapters, addresses bibliometric analysis, curricular reflections, findings on teaching practices and proposals to improve teacher training. With the support of the Geopaideia group and national and international academic networks, this work seeks to consolidate a critical and pertinent school geography, promoting a citizenry committed to understanding and caring for geographic space. It is an essential resource for educators and communities interested in strengthening the teaching of this discipline in classrooms.
