The empirical field of research are four municipal schools of Canguçu/RS and the subjects were the teachers responsible for teaching the discipline of Geography in their schools. Thus the dissertation is divided into five chapters, respectively: Introduction; Education Field and Geography teaching; Analysis of the concept of territory and the teaching of Geography in the context of Rural Education; The teaching of Geography in the school routine and the field; Conclusions: prospects and challenges for the teaching of Geography in Rural Education. The discussion proposed in this research showed that many still are the challenges for education field and the teaching of Geography in schools surveyed converses with a traditional perspective, whereas three of the surveyed teachers had no training in the field of knowledge in which they were responsible. We emphasize that the concept of territory is not addressed in the classroom, considering the perspective of critical Geography. Analyzed, thus the training of teachers can be very important, considering the initial and continuing formation, and that the Department of Education and municipal Sports needs to act more in the last in order to contribute to the progress expected for a quality public education.
