| Sumario: | The teaching of Social Sciences requires students to master the processes of territorial and social transformation. Therefore, this study explores the use of Geographic Information Systems [GIS] as a didactic resource in the course Special Didactics and Internship of the Geography Teacher Training Program at Fa-Hum, UNNE. The objective is to equip students with skills that enable them to integrate and convey knowledge incorporating geotechnologies.
As a practical case, the study analyzed the Human Development Index [HDI], including the representation and interpretation of geospatial data. Didactic resources were developed using georeferenced data, and an analysis of Argentine provinces was conducted for the period 1996–2021. The methodology combined quantitative techniques using [QGIS] 3.26.3 (2016) with qualitative approaches for data interpretation, highlighting the importance of new didactic strategies in Geography. The findings revealed more unfavorable conditions in the northern region of the country (1996–2006), with improvements observed during the 2016–2021 period. |
