Abstract: This comparative study investigated the teaching of Geomorphology in South America, focusing on the educational systems of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. In Brazil, the discipline is introduced in high school, deepening in higher education with diversified methods. In Argentina, Geomorphology is presented in advanced levels of high school, emphasizing practical approaches and case studies. In Chile, the discipline is present in high school and university courses, employing varied methods, from lectures to field expeditions. Similarities include the introduction of Geomorphology in high school and an emphasis on practical methods. Notable differences involve regional autonomy in Brazil, the emphasis on public universities in Argentina, and the significant presence of private schools in Chile. Factors such as historical, cultural, and economic differences shape educational approaches, while government policies and available resources impact curriculum implementation.
