Comprehensive Environmental Education: Debates and Reflections on the Teaching of Geography. Continuing Teacher Training Experience

Abstract

This article reflects reflections on the experience of continuous teacher training based on the delivery of the Comprehensive Environmental Education Seminar: challenges and opportunities for teaching Geography, organized by the Institute of Geography of the National University of La Pampa, in the year 2023. The objective is to incorporate new knowledge and conceptualizations through the organization of discussion and debate groups in relation to the implementation of the Comprehensive Environmental Education Law (LEAI) No. 27,621 sanctioned in Argentina in 2021. Although the environment and environmental problems make up the conceptual framework of the teaching of Geography, the new regulations challenge researchers and teachers at different educational levels to think about them in this new legal context. The didactic and epistemological approach proposed by the LEAI, from the socio-critical perspective, and the institutional approach from transversality, constitute challenges to the task of teaching context.
