MONTES GALBAN, Eloy  y  ROMERO MENDEZ, Adelmo. Approach to the Epistemological and Methodological Basics for Geography of Education. Terra [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.49, pp.71-92. ISSN 1012-7089.

The aim of this paper work is to support a proposal in Geography of Education, which may be regarded as a specific variant of applied geography, with the ability to study the structure and spatial dynamics of educational problems. The proposal builds on the epistemological and theoretical foundations to a methodological and technical framework for achieving tackling educational complex problems from a perspective or approach, rationalist, empirical and quantitative geography. Finally, they are shown four examples of application using Geographic Information Technologies that allow illustrating the concepts and methodological approaches set. Also, it is aimed to delineate the future perspective that goes towards the interdisciplina as a product of geography and sciences education.
