Abstract
The article presents a practical case about the study of geography in the secondary educational level at the city of Osorno, Chile, applying the fieldwork as an essential active education encompassing the environment knowledge and learning by discovering. The objective is to review the relation among classroom-focused pedagogical practices and the use of fieldwork experiences with local and outdoor activities. The research responds to an empiricaldescriptive study applying tools to teachers from schools in Osorno, and to students of the Eighth Semester of History and Geography Pedagogy from Universidad de Los Lagos. It finds that the fieldwork has value provided the activity is related to the issue and observations analysis and not only in the description of elements.
