| description | Territorial knowledge holds a core role in indigenous education and pedagogy. It is essential for teaching the meaning of place (sense of place) as a living environment and a space of power, as well as for enriching representations of socio-territorial dynamics. This article presents and discusses a set of place-based educational benchmarks proposed by Mapuche cultural facilitators (kimche) for integration into school education within their communities of practice. The exploratory research is based on data collection from traditional Mapuche educators in the Araucanía region of Chile. The data were processed using the thematic analysis approach. Place-based education is conceptualized as an educational approach using aspects of the local environment as benchmarks for acquiring knowledge and integrating learning. The traditional educators pinpointed a set of twenty-five Indigenous concepts and notions to be incorporated into school education. These concepts synthesize knowledge that is essential for education aiming for balance with the natural environment. Simultaneously, acquiring this knowledge is expected to enable learners to better understand environmental issues and engage with socially relevant questions within their communities. Through a Mapuche school-community integration, education based on these indigenous territorial knowledge could foster the development of skills that allow for making connections between the self (identity), the place (natural environment), and the other (social environment). |
