Geografia escolar: práticas de ensino de conceitos, procedimentos e atitudes

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate how the teaching of concepts, procedures and attitudes is present in the classes of Geography, approaching the theoretical constructions on the subject to the experiences of some teachers, who work in the state public schools of Natal (RN), in order to Develop methodological proposals of teaching from this interaction. We assume that the teaching of conceptual, procedural and attitudinal contents is a means, a possibility, that gives conditions for the formation of more competent students, in keeping with the demands of the present society, with the objectives of the national education and the teaching of Geography, put in the official documents. For the development of this proposal, the empirical research was carried out in state schools of Natal, through the collection of data with the management team of these schools and teachers of Geography of Elementary School. Among these teachers, some were accompanied during their practices in the classroom, in the search to find in their experiences possibilities for the question of how to teach these contents. In this sense, the text presents a brief diagnosis, which characterizes the teaching of Geography carried out in some state public schools of Natal (RN); In the sequence we share the experiences of the teachers' practice, and their methodological strategies that are related to the teaching of conceptual, procedural and attitudinal contents. Finally, we systematized some methodological proposals, re-elaborated based on the classes that were observed, establishing correlations between the teaching of concepts, procedures and attitudes.
