Teacher training of geography: a look at geographical thinking

ABSTRACT

We currently live in times of constant educational transformation, thinking and studying possibilities for an improvement in education in all areas of knowledge. In order to understand the geographic thinking in the formation of the geography teacher in two degree courses in the distance modality, we pretended to analyze the currents of geographic thinking contained in the geography DCNs and in the PPCs and identify the currents of geographic thought contained in the curriculum of the courses. The approach was qualitative and the technique used was the document analysis of the courses. The current of thought that was most identified was criticism, showing in the documents the interaction between the lived space and society, however, it is not possible to see in the study how this interaction is organized in the distance modality.
