Livro paradidático para a educação básica: a paisagem local como objeto de aprendizagem

Abstract

The landscape, from an approach that integrates physical and human aspects, constitutes a content of the area that encompasses Geography in Basic Education. This content is addressed in the textbook within the scope of topics that deal with Biomes, Morphoclimatic Domains, Plant Landscape, among others. Considering that the Geography textbook addresses contents at macro-regional, national and global scales, knowledge about the landscape at a microregional and local scale is little contemplated. Recognizing this problem and the need to correlate the curricular contents to the student's lived space, this research aimed to produce a paradidactic book for Basic Education about the landscape, considering the Phytoecological Units of the municipality of Horizonte-Ceará. The methodological course corresponded to the bibliographical research from the theoretical reference about the paradidactic book and integrated landscape; documentary research based on official sources that guide Brazilian education and the State of Ceará and field research for the purpose of collecting images of the landscapes portrayed in the paradidactic book. The results of this investigation were systematized in the Technical-Scientific Report, which presents the theoretical-methodological framework that underlies the product, which is formatted from the perspective of a paradidactic book called “The landscape of Horizonte/CE: knowing the Phytoecological Units of the municipality ”. The theoretical-conceptual and methodological perspective of the product was woven from a geographical approach that focuses on the integration of natural and anthropic elements that delineate the landscape, articulating different scales of analysis. It is inferred that this perspective favors the teaching and learning process in Geography and gives the contents a meaning insofar as it contemplates the space lived by the student, enhancing their ability to read and understand the world. Furthermore, it highlights the relevance of the paradidactic book in the school routine, especially since it is an authorial production of the teacher-researcher. Therefore, it is expected that the paradidactic book, in printed or digital format, will contribute to the learning about the landscape of Horizonte from its Phytoecological Units, serving as a reference for students, teachers and other people interested in the subject.
