ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY: A METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY

Abstract

Noticeable, it is important to learn about and interpret the environment where one lives in order to become an active subject in a society in constant transformation. Geography with an emphasis on training for citizenship is based on knowledge which is essential for social growing need in the territory. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize efforts in order to stimulate the development of competences, skills and attitudes aiming to face daily situations. This paper approaches the reasons for the methodological proposal to study the environment in the construction of geographic knowledge. It is an experience report and propositional study, as it presents and proposes pedagogical practices developed in public schools. The results show that this type of field activity certifies knowledge learned in the classroom, which helps the student to develop a critical investigative look on the socio-spatial reality.
