Retrospective views of geomatics teaching in Argentina

Abstract

Geomatics milestones throughout the time guide teaching practices in the present. Understanding the teaching approach in the classroom, and its role in our preparation; it is necessary to reconstruct how ideas about the discipline and its teaching were developed. To this end, we analyzed information from 33 interviews with founders, current teachers and new generations of geomatics professors in Argentina about the historical events that occurred during their careers and professional experience. We used qualitative and quantitatives methods to reconstruct the period from the founding of the National AeroSpace Commission (CONAE) until today (1991-2021).
