Prática docente no ensino de Geografia: reflexões a partir das escolas estaduais do Município de Itabaiana - PB.

Abstract

Here in Brazilian schools, Geography teaching kept a traditionalist practice in elementary and a high schools. But, we must remember to the sectors’changes of the educational field Geography, which proposes the formation of an active subject in the construction of knowledge and committed to the transformation of sociospatial reality. So, the geography lessons need to encourage the emergence of a new look at this curricular component and its role in the formation of the subject. We used as the basis authors of geography teaching area, namely: OLIVEIRA (2008), STRAFORINI (2008), Cavalcanti (2002), Kimura (2008), LIRA, (2014), among others. In this perspective, this study had to reflect the teaching practice in Geography teachers of state schools in the city of ItabaianaPB. It’s necessary to facilitate the realization of this research, considering the theoretical and practical aspects, we chose the following: a) sources of survey on the topic of research; b) action research planning, c) participant observation, d) collecting information through interviews and questionnaires, e) data analysis, f) implementation of actions, g) photographic record h) evaluation of the results. The research results had an effective theoretical approach with regard to school, concepts, methodologies and teaching practice in teaching geography. But, we understand that the teaching practice of these runs through a hard time, allowing negative effects to the teaching learning process. Through the workshops, the teachers showed they know the importance of the application of new methodologies in the teaching process, but that before these problems arising there is no enforcement.
