Pedagogical Competence, Geography, Teaching-Learning ProcessAbstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the development of pedagogical competencies in the teaching-learning process in the subject of Geography in the 6th grade at Primary School No. 348 Luís Gomes Sambo, in the Municipality of Benguela. The research is characterized as a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The study population consisted of teachers who teach the 6th grade under a single-teacher system, and one member of the school administration—the pedagogical vice principal—representing the school principal. The sample comprised the total population. As data collection techniques, questionnaires with closed-ended questions were administered to 6th-grade teachers, a structured interview was conducted with the member of the administration, and classroom observations of the selected teachers were carried out. It was found that teachers do not fully possess the pedagogical competencies required in the teaching-learning process in the Geography subject. The main results indicate that, although all teachers plan their lessons, not all have mastery of the content; most respondents have never used teaching aids to illustrate the content; there are weaknesses in handling teaching resources; and they have direct access to the subject curriculum. Therefore, the study concludes by highlighting the need for teachers to deepen both pedagogical knowledge and subject-specific knowledge, and for the school administration to implement the development of a political-pedagogical project, considering its importance.
