Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate the development of the discipline of geography with respect to fundamental knowledge and skills to be attained in 8th grade students. Basic and 4th. Middle. The curricular study confirms the undervaluation of the discipline in comparison to the area of history which, according to the reviewed literature, allows to deduce that the thematic-programmatic proposals are outdated and the learning designs decontextualized. We evaluated students from municipal and subsidized educational institutions in Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and San Felipe (n = 428), after elaborating, validating and applying an instrument focused on the cognitive area of knowledge and understanding of contents, simulated situations analysis and application Of contextualized fundamental knowledge, in addition to expressing the degree of security in the response, denoted only acceptable levels of knowledge (Total success = 32%) and low security indexes in the responses. The answers focus on contextualized questions spatially or temporally.
