A metodologia de ensino de geografia: um estudo sobre as contribuições metodológicas de Delgado de Carvalho.

Abstract

This work contemplates the theme methodology of geography teaching and the methodological contributions of Delgado de Carvalho. Based on his work Methodologia do Ensino Geographico of the year 1925. It is a reflection about the importance of discussing the teaching of geography and its methodologies based on the proposals of Delgado de Carvalho that are so influential and present in the daily life in Brazilian schools, which gained strength from the introduction of modern geography in the first decades of the twentieth century. The choice of topic arose from the need to think about the importance of teaching methodology, highlight how much Carvalho was important in these issues and reflect on other discussions that contribute to the issues related to the teaching-learning process, teacher training and school physical spaces. We note that the enjoyment and learning of geography is not only limited to the types of methodologies but, in the ways they are applied, these issues are often linked more to teacher training, school structure and other factors that may influence the process of student learning. The introduction of modern geography in the early twentieth century meant an important period of transformation and renewal for school geography in Brazil, especially in what concerns the modernization of the geography curriculum, as well as of teaching methodologies. The methodological path that characterizes this research starts from a bibliographical survey in books, articles and mainly in the work of Carvalho: Methodologia do Ensino Geographico-1925, that allowed to analyze, to discuss, to highlight and to reflect the relevance of the methodology of teaching, that from Delgado the geography won with a number of remarkable methods for teaching this discipline. However, it is not always necessary to innovate or present new methodologies in the classroom for the success of learning in whatever school matter. The success lies in the set of good teacher training and good didactic resources, which added to the methodology applied and / or adopted will have a more effective learning.
