Geographic education, education reform, social changeAbstract
What is the future of geographic education in the Latin American region?This question must be answered based on some effects produced by educational reforms in different countries, as well as the changes generated in them as a result of increasing globalization. The social changes, the territorial redistributions and the development of Intelligent Technologies of communication are critical conditions in these reforms and their quality measures. Teachers and students acquisition of geographical knowledge has been affected positively or negatively by these reforms.A recent epistemological approach could be in the process of building new knowledge based on minimizing colonialism and increasing collective knowledge.The exercise of more than perspective seems to be the future outcome of geographical education.
