Geodiversidade de São Gonçalo do Amarante (Rio Grande do Norte): guia de orientação docente para a educação básica

Abstract

Among the issues that have recently emerged in the academic environment, there is geodiversity, which corresponds to the variety of elements and processes integrated into the abiotic environment (geological diversity, geomorphodiversity, pedodiversity, hydrodiversity, climodiversity), in any form, spatial and temporal scales and interaction modes. Thus, this research aimed to develop a digital material (orientation guide), through how teachers understand the concept of geodiversity and its relationship with the Geography curriculum for basic education. In addition, they will see how to approach this topic in the classroom, through proposals for activities that are highlighted throughout the material, with emphasis on the municipality of São Gonçalo do Amarante (Rio Grande do Norte). For that, the following specific objectives were delimited: to express the importance of geodiversity for the teaching of Geography in basic education; to analyze how geodiversity contents are inserted in the Geography teaching curriculum in basic education for a meaningful student learning; characterize, from an environmental point of view, the municipality of São Gonçalo do Amarante (Rio Grande do Norte); and exemplify didactic proposals that can be built in the classroom when addressing geodiversity in basic education. Some of the activities were applied in classes at the Genésio Cabral de Macêdo Municipal School, located in the Golandim neighborhood (São Gonçalo do Amarante). It is expected that the material developed can contribute to improving the quality of Geography teaching, providing theoretical and practical subsidies for teachers with regard to the approach to geodiversity at this level of education
