This text intends to share the institutional experience of the INDEGEO group (Research and Development in Geography Teaching) based in the FFyL UBA Geography Institute since 2004. The main conceptual, methodological and pedagogical contributions, derived from the successive UBACyT research projects in which the group participated, will be detailed. These studies focused on the educational purposes of geography, the selection and organization of curricular content, teaching and assessment strategies, and the production of innovative curricular materials. The criteria on the theory-practice relationship that base our didactic conception will also be made explicit, as well as the articulation between the task of teaching and research in the university environment and the educational system of the secondary level. Finally, we wish to talk about the development of different activities for the transfer of knowledge and the elaboration of concrete pedagogical proposals in order to make different resources and materials available to teachers that contribute to improving the quality of geography teaching.
