Formar para la docencia en Geografía: Un camino para la cooperación

In this paper we present some elements that involve the continued formation of geography teachers, which is possible due to the composition of collaborative groups. It highlights the centrality of teaching work in times of crisis and its relevant social role to the formation of students’ geographical thought. This paper discusses potentialities and limits of Communities of Practice by presenting the characteristics and concepts of cooperation alongside the methodological path that orientates the Laboratorio de Estudos e Pesquisa em Ensino de Geografia (LEPEG) at Universidade Federal de Goias in its articulation with geography teachers’ continuous formation.
