Geographic potentialities of Las Peonias Lagoon (Venezuela) as a natural museum for the teaching of physical geography

Abstract

It is proposed to use the geographical potentialities of the Peonies lagoon scenario as a natural museum for the teaching of Physical Geography. The methodology is descriptive, projective, under a field design, not experimental. When diagnosing the «didactic resources», more than 80% of the respondents affirmed that the teacher does not use «directed and natural resources» in teaching. Regarding the «level of knowledge», there is weakness in the domain of the same, more than 75% of students did not succeed in the indicators «presence of lagoons», «presence of beaches and coastal dunes» and «sedimentation processes» of the Peonies lagoon. A proposal for a natural museum was designed based on the scenario of the referred lagoon, materialized in a guided tour that includes five (5) stations.
