Geocinema no ensino de geografia

Abstract

In this article we present the results of a research project that took the cinema as an auxiliary resource of the process of construction of geographic knowledge. It aims to deepen the discussion about the use of cinema in Geography studies among the students of the Integrated Technical High School of the Federal Institute of Alagoas. Questionnaires were applied to them to point out the most difficult subjects, after which a multidisciplinary team selected the productions according to the menus of Geography. It was noticed that they present difficulties with subjects like geopolitics, cartography, climate, relief and vegetation, although they show interest by them. They suggest more dynamic classes, confirming the importance of the cinematographic language for the teaching of Geography. At the end, the "Geocinema" handout will be developed to support the teaching work.
