Abstract

 As it has been shown and illustrated the teaching of Regional Geography has as the  main  scientific methodological  and  pedagogical  requirements  the  use of practical methods, which may not only contribute to practical teaching, but also to the political and ideological formation, as well as the General and Integral Culture of   the  students  of Geography   major,  as  the  foundations   for  their professional formation. The Regional Geography has been present in all curriculum of the professor formation in Cuba as a school discipline, giving answers to the students´ need of loving the homeland and the nation in order to reaffirm their proper identity as citizens of a country, a region or their self-planet, if the thought and action of the most universal of all Cubans is taken into consideration. Its formation in the subjects is an active complex and contradictory process, as indissoluble part of the personality development that is produced in determined socio-historical conditions and in which some socializing factors, as the school, take place.
