Abstract

The objective of this research is to discuss the educational policy adopted for the
teaching of Physical Geography through the Creationist and Evolutionist perspectives. The research was established upon: interviews with Publishing Houses that produce Teaching Books of Geography, and with researchers on the field; the analysis of bibliographical resources on the issue, and of the policies that regulate this area. I conclude with a critic to the current teaching methodology in use in the country, and to the unilateral way that the theme is presented in the classroom. I defend an equivalency in the presentation of both points of view in the classroom, in order to empower the student to make his/her option for the one that would
be more coherent for him/her.
