Abstract:
The Middle Study it is an interdisciplinary teaching technique that seeks, in practice, to promote the contact between students and the phenomena proposed and studied, thus producing new knowledge, establishing, at first, a differentiated dialogue in front of the various existing dimensions. In this perspective, the present study, entitled "The Middle Study in the Teaching Learning Process: a case study in the Geography of the 5th Year of Elementary School, whose importance is justified in view of the need to analyze the practices developed by teachers in a rural community and the consequent diagnosis of the learning provided to the students through the exercise of this methodological resource. In this way, the objective is to promote the analysis about the development of students' learning through the study of the environment, enabling them to develop the ability to distinguish between changes occurring in space through human activity. The main theoretical framework established relates to the object of study, presenting contributions that corroborate to a constant learning about the teaching of geography and its object of study, with emphasis on the geographic categories and the pedagogical practices that guide the process of preparation and development of the activity of the Middle Study. Regarding the methodology used, it is worth mentioning the use of methods and techniques defined by previous analysis, in which the methods of hypothetical-deductive approach and monographic procedure are highlighted, as well as indirect documentation research (bibliographic research), direct documentation (field research), intensive direct observation (systematic observation and participant) extensive direct observation (questionnaire). This study allowed students to develop their ability to distinguish and evaluate the changes that occurred in space over time through human activity, and also serve as a foundation for future research.
