O ensino da linguagem cartográfica para o aprendizado de geografia: um estudo de caso no Lyceu Paraibano

Abstract

This Work aims to know the difficulties and facilities found by the students in the construction of a spatial linguage, and how to identify if the students can integrate in the construction of the cartographic representations the knowledge acquired in their formation. We justify that the use of cartography classes is very recurrent, we can not ignore the cartographic resources, maps are requirements to contribute in the location and mainly in the specialization of the phenomena that ingrate the reality. We used the Lyceu school in paraibano for the case study and try to diagnose how the students are learning the cartographic language for the un derstanding of geographical science. To discover student achievement and suggest proposed proposals, we interviewed the teacher of the discipline, and applied a test to the students with five questions from previous ENEM;s, concerning the subject of cartography, in addition, we also did a mental maps experiment. The essay was designed to get a general idea of student learning. At the end of the data collection, we made a diagnosis or opinion of the “reality” of the students, and with this study we propose some suggestions of work in the classroom.
