Abstract

Through geographical studies and knowledge, children develop their perception of the world, critical thinking, and skills to observe events around them, with environmental awareness and respect for diversities. This article seeks to analyze the methodological processes used during the Geography classrooms in Early Childhood Education and the Early Years of Fundamental Education in Seridó Potiguar schools. A research was carried out with six teachers, three of them teaching children and three of them in the initial years, of the public and private network, in order to understand what pedagogical practices and also geographical contents are present in their classrooms and how their approaches impact the teaching and learning of the student. Understand with this research the fundamental importance of knowing the theoretical knowledge necessary for effective educational practice in the field of geography as well as the limits and possibilities found in contemporary active methodologies such as gamification and maker methodology.
