Abstract

This article raises the importance of geographical contributions to the didactics of landscape and the recent significance of the identification of various proposals and criteria for the recognition of specific places or enclaves that favor its teaching. Starting from a mixed method based on the interrelation of theoretical and cartographic contents, together with explorations and field work, the design and selection of a set of indicators is approached that can be applied to the teaching of landscape through its interpretation and possible environmental and cultural assessment. It is proposed, from the Didactics of Geography, the definition of the Place of Didactic Interest, as well as a methodology for its recognition, selection and evaluation for its possible application in different territorial areas and curricular contexts. For this purpose, the identification of 13 criteria, grouped into 5 levels, focused, firstly, on the importance of close contact with the territory and the object of learning as educational reasons outside the classroom and, secondly, on the importance of the education of the student's gaze, necessary for the understanding and appreciation of their environment or study areas and determining for the acquisition of a significant landscape education. It concludes considering the Places of Didactic Interest as strategic enclaves from which to promote the reading, interpretation and explanation of the landscape, as well as one of the main tools for the design of itineraries with adaptation of curricular contents in Geography.
