“…Cascante-Campos (2021) analyzes recent geography education research in Latin America, evaluating twenty years of open access journal publishing in the region from 2010 to 2020 [19]. The study documents consistent growth in geography education research but also an unevenness in terms of journal outlets and country-specific contributions.…”

“…The study documents consistent growth in geography education research but also an unevenness in terms of journal outlets and country-specific contributions. For example, several countries are not represented in the body of the literature while others, such as Brazil, are widely represented, with Brazil alone accounting for nearly 70% of the published peer reviewed articles in geography education [19]. Contemporary geography education themes in Latin America include five core categories, with theory, philosophy, and debates being the most published topical areas.…”

Geography education research in Latin America is uneven in terms of its thematic focus and country-level contributions. Research demonstrates the necessity for a region-wide prioritization of geography education themes that builds on existing scholarship and adapts to emerging needs and trends. The Pan-American Institute for Geography and History, a scholarly society, established a research team with a four-year charge of advancing geography education in the region. Titled “Geographic Literacy for the Countries of the Americas”, the initiative develops research agendas that encompass the diversity of definitions and criteria, scholarly activities, and curricular resources across countries. The purpose of this study is to follow the process of identifying geography education research priorities involving scholars representing most countries in the region; describe the priorities and activities identified by project team members; and discuss emerging long-term research agendas. The study uses a descriptive research design to describe the process in general and to specify the outcomes. Results show the prioritization of the four areas as follows: teaching geography online, teaching geography face-to-face, methodological foundations of geographic education, and connecting geography and education stakeholders. Activities and research agendas within these categories include both traditional, longstanding themes and emerging themes related to recent global crises and technological innovations.

“…However, the quantity of research in the field has grown significantly in a range of international contexts (Eikli, 2013), illustrated by a threefold increase in papers in IRGEE between 1992 and 2009 (Kidman and Papadimitriou, 2012). Introducing their special issue, Morgan and Lambert begin with a bleak picture of limited research funding, infrastructure and resources, and this assessment is echoed elsewhere (Butt, 2015; Cascante-Campos, 2021). Critiques of the field have also foregrounded parochial concerns with student numbers and the apparent popularity of geography.…”

Complex global challenges, rapid shifts in the mediation and distribution of information, rising inequalities and a toxic milieu of low-quality public reasoning make geography education more important than ever. This first progress report explores the nexus of geography education research, geography education practice and scholarship and the geographies of education. Conceptualising the fields through expansive understandings positions this report in an optimistic space, highlighting significant opportunities for geography and its contribution to public reasoning through deepening collaborations and attending to tensions in education’s ‘shadow and shine’: tensions between its complicity in maintaining unjust hierarchies against its potential for emancipatory transformation.

“…Tanto Bednarz y Bednarz (2004) como Lambert (2010) han sugerido que las transformaciones en los programas de posgrado respecto a la formación en educación geográfica han derivado en un crecimiento paulatino de la investigación. En el contexto latinoamericano, Cascante (2021) demostró el aumento significativo y exponencial, de literatura en educación geográfica durante todo el siglo XXI, en particular, desde inicios de la década de 2010, con un fuerte incremento de publicaciones originadas desde Brasil.…”

“…Un elemento clave del aumento de investigación en educación geográfica latinoamericana ha sido que las publicaciones se han dado, en su gran mayoría, en revistas científicas de acceso abierto (Cascante, 2021). Esto ratifica la tendencia ya mencionada por Dominique y Smart (2006), respecto a la importancia de este tipo de revistas para el acceso de científicos a medios de publicación, reduciendo barreras de precios y accesibilidad, al contar con opciones de revisión por pares, de forma digital y gratis (Minniti et al, 2018).…”

Geovisualizador de investigación en educación geográfica latinoamericana (2000-2022): un sistema de consulta de artículos científicos libres y abiertos

El aumento de artículos científicos a nivel mundial, particularmente, en el campo de la educación geográfica, ha sido constante durante el siglo XXI. En Latinoamérica, este incremento se caracteriza por seguir un modelo de acceso abierto total conocido como diamante. Sin embargo, acceso abierto total no es sinónimo de accesibilidad, en tanto localizar artículos científicos en educación geográfica en la región resulta complejo, por la dispersión de las revistas en Internet y la falta de un sistema de consulta unificado y efectivo de artículos científicos en el campo. Por tanto, el presente artículo muestra los resultados de la creación de un geovisualizador y sistema de consulta de investigación en educación geográfica latinoamericana del siglo XXI. El estudio describe el proceso para la construcción del geovisualizador, así como el procedimiento bajo el cual se pueden hacer consultas espacio-temporales cruzando información de 2335 artículos del año 2000 al 2022, tomando como referencia año de publicación, temas de investigación y palabras clave, así como el enlace directo a las revistas para su consulta. Se espera que el geovisualizador se convierta en una herramienta de difusión del conocimiento académico sobre educación geográfica y un soporte a procesos de investigación en la región.
