description

This chapter analyzes the different aspects of geographical education in Ibero-America, and more precisely, its contribution to global understanding from a spatial and territorial perspective thanks to the composition of networks such as Geoforo, Redladgeo and the NosPropomos! project. The authors debate the significance of this discipline in the building of a geographically informed citizen, aware of the potentials and limits of the territories in which he or she lives. Geographical education is presented as an ensemble of knowledge, skills, and attitudes of great importance for human education in each of the scales of the world-system. This discipline is also regarded as a pedagogical and academic field of great significance to build future generations in elementary education (basic education), secondary education (intermediate education) and higher level education.
