A História da Geografia escolar e a formação continuada de professores: proposição de um minicurso formativo.

Abstract

Geography has a very broad field of research; however, in this work, we want to highlight and question the fact that the history of school geography is often marginalized, that is, it is not explored as it should be, especially in undergraduate courses. Based on this premise, we wish to contribute to the continuing education of geography teachers, particularly those who are in the classroom and did not have contact with this knowledge and these discussions during their initial training. Thus, this work has a qualitative approach, where we conducted a bibliographic survey, gathering works and research that address the history of this discipline in the school context and how it was consolidated in the curriculum. In this effort to aggregate these works, we aim to establish a dialogue based on the different perceptions of the authors who previously discussed these issues. All this effort results in the central objective of this work: to propose a continuing education mini-course for teachers of Geography in Basic Education, on the History of School Geography, because we believe in the importance that the study of this field of research has for a more complete teacher training committed to critical and social thinking. Thus, we affirm that knowledge about the History of School Geography is extremely important and cannot be left aside in the teacher training process in Geography.
