A representação cartográfica nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental I

Abstract

The present work of Course Conclusion was developed in the scope of the Pedagogy Course of UFAM/IEAA, whose objective was to investigate the pedagogical practices and methodologies worked in the subject of Geography in Elementary School I in a Municipal School of Humaitá/AM. The research is of a qualitative nature for which data were generated from the application of questionnaires intended for participants, being two teachers of the Municipal Network of Elementary School I. Authors who discuss the teaching of geography in the initial years were used as theoretical input for this research, being: Flores (2018), Fernandes (2020), Smith and Strick (2007), Santos (2006) and Queluz e Alonso (2003). We also follow official documents that guide the school contents, such as: PCNs (1997) and BNCC (2018) among others. The results show that, although teachers feel fulfilled while teaching, they need to deal with the devaluation and challenges encountered in the Teaching of Geography. The teachers' responses show that they enjoy teaching and are enthusiastic about teaching geography. It was also found that teachers say they feel motivated and that their greatest motivation is to see their students advance in their learning and teaching. It was possible to affirm that both of them use in their classes materials and didactics according to the guidelines of official documents such as PCN's and BNCC, among others. Based on the answers of the researched teachers, it is possible to affirm that there are indications that the teachers seek to work on the contents of geography relating theory to the daily life of their students, and seek to follow the official guidelines directed to the teaching of geography in the initial years.
