Ensino de Geografia: uma análise da construção espacial rural-urbana.

Abstract

This work aims to analyse the process of construction of the geographic knowledge from the study methodology of the environment used with students of Municipal School Tertuliano Maciel. Thus, we verified the way the students observe the spatial configuration of the community of Ligeiro as well as the influence of the city of Campina Grande on this urban-rural fringe. The studied area covers an intermunicipal zone between Campina Grande and Queimadas, in the State of Paraíba. The methodological procedures adopted during the construction of this monograph followed fundamental stages, namely: bibliographical research, characterization of the area, planning field script, preparation of the group for the realization of the environmental study, recording photos and videos, field return activity and empyrical analysis of the results achieved. It starts with the pedagogical conception that considers the students as active subjects in the preparation of the systematized knowledge. Such fact happens before a planned action mediated by the teacher for the student reaches the level of internalization of the concepts. One of the intended stages with the study of the environment is that the students think their space, confronting the scientific concepts (geographical, others) and everyday concepts, those acquired by the sociospatial practice. Therefore, it was referred a study of the environment of the district of Ligeiro, from the conceptual analysis of urban, rural, urban fringe among others. As well, it was made a representation of these territories, analysing the socio-spatial interrelationships.
