Produção e experimentação de recurso didático contextualizado no ensino de geografia física para as escolas do campo: o caso da representação da Bacia Hidrográfica do Semiárido através das maquetes.

Abstract

The use of the most varied didactic resources in the teaching of geography is characterized as a fundamental didactic strategy to overcome the difficulties that the traditional teaching and the decontextualization of the students' reality have been causing for a long time, besides potentiating its teaching-learning process, referring to the themes of geography, especially in its physical aspect. In this sense, this research aims to produce and experiment contextualized models that address Physical Geography, specifically the Semiarid basin and its implications on the teaching-learning process in the classroom through the mediation in the context of Maria Balbina Pereira School. located in Santa Luzia do Cariri district, municipality of Serra Branca-PB. In this research, we use the assumptions of qualitative research through Action Research. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and interpretively, as they are characterized by observation and correlation of facts, seeking to describe the characteristics or relationships that exist in actions performed in the classroom through Action Research. The stages of this research were presented through images that showed the moments of pedagogical mediation and other moments of the research, such as the construction of models, the application of questionnaires, etc., and the information obtained through the application of systematized questionnaires organized in pictures for better understanding. We verified that the production and experimentation of the models built and applied in the scope of this research contributed significantly for the students to understand the importance of the study of the watersheds, mainly in the semiarid, and its implications in its context. This whole process, mediated and enhanced by the use of classroom mockups.
