Abstract

This research proposes to make a methodological discussion on the teaching of geography of the country and the city, reflecting on the factors that lead teachers to use these spaces in their traditional classes a methodology, based on memorization and reproduction of textbooks. To achieve this goal, we promote an initial theoretical discussion about the methodology of geography teaching in urban and rural areas, trying to analyze whether teachers of rural and urban relate the content with the daily lives of students, ie, are taken into account the specificity of the place as a methodology in geography lessons. Next, we promote an analysis of the interference of teacher training in the methodology used in geography lessons from the field and the city. To obtain the result in the present work, we rely on empirical research conducted in two schools in the city of Aurora-CE is a school located in the field and another in the city. That research was carried out with students of 7th and 8th grade of elementary school school Notary Jose Pinto Quezado and Antonio Amancio Cross, and from the observation of everyday school life, questionnaires were administered to students and teachers of these two spaces, through which we seek to discuss the methodology of teaching geography and interference of teacher training in the methodology, as well as fostering discussions about the problems present in the teaching of geography.
