Animação em Stop Motion no ensino de geografia: guia didático e vídeo para a abordagem do conceito de paisagem

Abstract

This research focused on the relationship between Stop Motion animation and geography teaching. School Geography uses audiovisual language found in (new technologies) as an alternative that favors the development of spatial knowledge. For this, Stop Motion animation becomes a relevant language, especially while studying the concept of landscape. From this perspective, we highlight the central question of the present research: To what extent does the production of Stop Motion animation video favor the understanding of the concept of a landscape? To achieve satisfactory results, it has been determined as the main objective the elaboration of a didactic guide for the production of stop motion animation videos, focusing on the teaching and learning process of the concept of landscape. Therefore it was structured as a theoretical debate centered on the concepts of landscape in the teaching of Geography, audiovisual language, and animation in Stop Motion. Then the research was conducted by bibliographical research and documentary research, both based on official sources used to guide Brazilian education. Moreover, a description of the stages of elaboration of the didactic guide for the production of stop motion animation videos was conducted. As a result of this research, focusing on students in the 6th year of elementary school from a private school in the city of João Câmara-RN, it was elaborated an educational product entitled ‘Guia Didático para Animação em Stop Motion: aprendendo o conceito de paisagem’. It is also emphasized that the use of this material resulted in the elaboration of videos. The production of these videos shows that the use of language can provide an effective teaching and learning process, the best understanding of the concept of landscape in the teaching of school geography
