Espaço pedagógico e ensino de geografia

Abstract

The organization, planning and execution of diverse activities that promote greater possibilities in the acquisition of knowledge is essential to achieve advances in the teaching and learning process of students. Understanding that geographic knowledge does not only summarize those theoretically exposed in the classroom, it is necessary to provide learning situations that promote direct contact with the concrete reality of the terrestrial spatial dynamics, also valuing the references of students regarding their spatial experience. Thus, carrying out activities that provide the understanding of knowledge from the concrete, both in nature and in human aspects, having as a reference those assimilated by students in their daily lives is the great teaching challenge for the teaching of geography in public education. Thinking about this process of praxis, we understand that there are difficulties for its execution, however, some teachers are able to carry out work with this intention. In the present work, our main objective is to discuss the role of teachers in the initial grades, with the teaching of geography in different pedagogical spaces. Therefore, we discuss the notion of pedagogical space and its variety in different researches. we made a presentation on the relationship between pedagogical space and geography teaching and an analysis of school experiences and the use of pedagogical spaces by a small group of teachers in geography teaching in the early years of elementary school in public schools in the municipal network of João Pessoa and Santa Rita, both cities in Paraíba.
