Understanding the space lived through actions in the teaching of Geography means considering reading and understanding of how society is organized in the geographical space essential. We chose Geographic Education as the possibility of constituting the critical aspect of how to teach Geography to guide basic education students to build knowledge about social relations from spatial analysis. Therefore, in the present course conclusion work we will demonstrate the path taken through bibliographic research and the development of fieldwork. The main themes of study were: Geography, Geography Teaching, Geographic Education and Fieldwork. The main objective was to present fieldwork as a significant strategy for apprehending reality to teach and learn Geography. In addition, a bibliographic research was carried out in four magazines, with the aim of identifying, analyzing and understanding, how geographers and geographers have developed fieldwork as a teaching strategy in the last 10 years (2010 - 2019). The result was four tables, indicating the number of articles in each journal and the number of articles with the theme of fieldwork. We identified 1,044 articles published in the four magazines and of these, only nine addressed the fieldwork theme. Finally, we organized a proposal for fieldwork, from the perspective of Geographic Education, with the aim of exemplifying and suggesting how to work on Urban Geography content, with students from the 8th grade of elementary school.
