Entre o aprender e o ensinar cartografia: relato de experiência no estágio supervisionado em geografia na ECIT Padre Hildon Bandeira - João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

The work presented here as a Capstone Project, aims to reflect on the learning and teaching of cartography, relating academic education with teaching practice in middle school, especially in the final years. The interest in investigating and analyzing the theme came from the teaching experience and the selected theme, through activities developed during the subject Supervised Teaching Internship II, making me reflect on my education and the subjects that involve the topics of this field, that are fundamental to Geography. Therefore, this work is composed of my experience report, being supported by bibliographic research and elaborated with my personal experiences in Supervised Teaching Internship II, from the major of Geography (Licensure) in the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) – Campus I. That said, the internship occurred in a sixth-grade class in a middle school named Technical Integral Citizen School Padre Hildon Bandeira, located in the neighborhood Torre in the city of João Pessoa, in Paraiba State. In this sense, it highlighted the importance of the subject School Cartography to my education, since it was because of it that I could teach with confidence, using cartographic language and contributing to a significant Geography education in the students’ lives, valuing and spacializing the reality in which they are a part of. Furthermore, dealing with the students’ distractions and inquietude during the internship was very challenging, but those moments were important to understand the daily life of a teacher and reflect on the different schools’ realities. Hence, the Supervised Internship is a space for reflection and construction of a professional identity.
