O estudo do meio como instrumento didático- pedagógico no ensino de geografia.

Abstract

The work in question presents the potentialities of the teaching strategy called study of the environment as a primordial and necessary tool for the teaching of geography. The main purpose is to understand the importance of the study of the environment as mediating didactic methodology for teaching geography and its contribution to the construction of the geographical view of the students who make up the Secondary School of the State School Professor Crispim Coelho, located in the city of Cajazeiras-PB . We reflect on the main strategies that can be used in teaching and geography, emphasizing the study of the environment. We also know the different classifications of field activities and their uses. We theoretically explain the importance of the study of the environment and its contribution to the improvement of teaching practice, in addition to addressing its main stages and potentialities. We also analyze the main obstacles and impediments that compromise the concretization of this practice and the problems encountered by the teachers for the adoption of didactic strategies in this teaching environment. The accomplishment of the respective research was only possible thanks to the accomplishment of a careful bibliographical survey that was based on the reading and analysis of essential works for the treatment of the overlapping theme. The on-site investigation of the study area and the subjects who accepted to participate in the research process was also one of the crucial moments for the achievement of the results and the success of the study to occur. We acknowledge and propose the use of the study of the environment as one of the teaching instruments that enhances teaching practice, showing that its use is real and relevant for the construction of the student's knowledge.
