Summary:From the nineties, in the field of higher education in Argentina, the importance of learning the discursive forms of scientific disciplines during training is recognized. In this work, we present a didactic proposal for teaching the subject Physical Geography in the first year of a Tourism career at the National University of Tierra del Fuego.
