Abstract

This article addresses the teaching of Geography from the perspective of field classes in a theoretical-methodological approach to be applied in traditional communities. Here, field classes are considered an active methodology that enhances students’ understanding of reality, involving local knowledge. The ethnoknowledge of traditional communities is discussed and reflected upon from the perspective of the interaction between academic knowledge and popular knowledge. Additionally, we address the landscape from the perspective of an analysis category. It is observed that well-founded and planned field classes focused on traditional communities and the appreciation of their knowledge lead students to a better understanding of environmental and cultural diversity.
