Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2015-16

La enseñanza de cualquier conocimiento supone un esfuerzo contínuo por actualizar tanto los métodos didácticos. como los contenidos procedentes de la ciencia de referencia. Este proceso de actualización resulta más complejo por la necesidad de introducir los cambios regulados por la normativa en diferentes escalas: Autonómica, Estatal o Europea.

La enseñanza de la geografía es esencial para el desarrollo humano pues le permite mejorar su relación dialéctica con el entorno natural y social en el que se desenvuelve.

La Geografía facilita los conocimientos necesarios para resolver numerosos problemas que se le plantea a cualquier ciudadano en su vida cotidiana como localizar un punto, orientarse en una determinada ciudad, calcular recorridos, equiparse pertinente para el tiempo atmosférico previsto, desarrollar actividades deportivas o económicas según estas previsiones, comprender las redes sociales, económicas, etc. que conforman nuestra sociedades, entre otros.
