O ensino da geografia feminista para a construção de uma formação cidadã: relato de experiência

Abstract

Feminist Geography, a branch of Humanistic Geography, presents gender issues as a subject of study for understanding the various oppressions suffered by women throughout civilizations and existing societies. In this way, the school environment can contribute, above all, to the deconstruction of prejudices reinforced in students' daily lives. Therefore, in order to have respect for women today and in the future, it is necessary to rethink the citizenship to which we are subjected. The general objective was: to teach Geography from a feminist perspective, and the specific objectives were: understand how students see and identify themselves from a gender perspective; identify the contradictions that permeate the school environment with regard to limitations on gender issues; reflect on the challenges and possibilities in the teaching of Feminist Geography within the school. The choice of the school was made because I am a temporary teacher in the city Pacatuba-Ce, therefore, EEMTI Desembargador Raimundo de Carvalho Lima was the locus of the research. The methodology of the work was qualitative, based on the development of a bibliographic reference, with guiding documents of Brazilian education and Geographic science, authors of Feminist Geographic such as: Rose, McDowell, Valentine, Ornat, Silva, Ratts, Massey and others. In addition, interviews were conducted with 3 teachers from different areas of knowledge, who remained anonymous. And students from the 1st and 2snd grades of High School, who in the research were also kept anonymous, being identified only by the grade or class of which they were part. In the same way, field research was carried out, the diagnosis stage, and in the final stage of the research, conversation circles, lesson planning, assignments and tests, and the application of interventions for and with the students were developed. Finally, Geographic science can promote and instigate the citizenship of young students.
