An analysis of landscape representation among primary school students

Abstract

This research underscores the importance of studying the landscape in primary education. Knowledge about the landscape and people’s relationship with it improve human beings’ education and promote the acquisition of essential values for social life. Therefore, landscape education must begin in the classroom in the early years so that students grow through their knowledge of and contact with the environment and the landscape. The objective of the research is to determine how primary education students represent the landscape. To this end, a qualitative and quantitative methodology has been used to analyze students’ drawings in each primary education cycle.
