Novo rural na região imediata de Patos - PB: a construção de um livro paradidático para o 7º ano do ensino fundamental de geografia

Abstract

Among the teaching resources to facilitate the teaching and learning process of basic education, the textbook stands out, which, through the National Textbook Program (NTP), are made available by the Ministry of Education (MEC). Despite being the main didactic resource used by teachers and students of the public education network in Brazil, these books are produced on a national scale, so they cannot cover all the contents in a dense and adequate way to regional realities, especially when it comes to the Sertão northeastern. In this way, the present research aims to produce a paradidactic material about the Novo Rural in the Immediate Region of Patos - PB, aimed at the 7th year of Elementary School. The methodological course initially took place with the bibliographic survey of classic and also current works on the teaching of Geography, paradidactic books and the Novo Rural. Then, there was an analysis of the content present in textbooks and later the analysis of the questionnaire applied to Geography teachers in the municipal public network of the Immediate Region of Patos - PB. As the main result of the research, a textual material entitled O Novo Rural na Região Imediata de Patos - PB was produced. This material can be used as a complement to the 7th grade textbook adopted in public schools, as it will also be available in the virtual version for consultation by the general population. It is expected that this production will contribute to teaching from the perspective of Geographic Education and School Geography, that is, content that has meaning for the student, as it deals with the local reality where their experiences occur, and for the improvement of pedagogical practices.
