Pedagogical practices for teaching school geography in teachers retired from the Chilean educational system

Abstract

A research work related to the pedagogical practices of teaching geography in the multigrade school of six teachers retired from the educational system in the commune of Monte Patria, region of Coquimbo, Chile is presented. The objective of the study is to recognize and value the experiences of rural teachers who carried out their activity in the classrooms and who within their educational task used the natural environment as an educational resource to teach geography. The work methodology is the preparation and application of semi-structured interviews, field trips, use of cell phones and specialized bibliography. The results show a description of the location of the Monte Patria commune and the multigrade schools where the retired teachers did their pedagogical practices, the responses to the interviews carried out with the teachers, the pedagogical design and the didactic sequence carried out by the teachers to implement your classes. The conclusions of the work contribute to highlighting retired teaching practices in order to strengthen education in multigrade schools in educational establishments far from the city.
