Metodologias ativas no processo de ensino em Geografia: relato de experiência

Abstract

Geography contributes to the citizenship formation of students, allowing the transmission of comprehensive knowledge in the categories of Landscape, Territory, Region and Place, for the understanding of geographic space. Through these teachings, the Geography teacher relates the theory with the students' prior knowledge so that they think critically about the problems and become transforming agents of society, mainly in their places of social coexistence. In schools, traditional lectures are common, where students are only listeners and do activities with the aim of memorizing content for the bimonthly assessment. The teacher is placed as the holder of information, making the teaching-learning process difficult. For a critical and reflective teaching in Geography with students, this work was developed through the use of Active Methodologies for the teaching and learning process. With a time frame for carrying out activities at the school from March to May 2023, the research was carried out with the 2° year C class of the Deputado Fausto Aguiar Arruda High School, located at Avenida XXVI, sn, Jereissati II, Pacatuba, Ceará. Having as general objective to develop the Active Methodologies in the Teaching of Geography, contributing to the citizenship formation of the young students. And specific, reveal the protagonism of students in the active search for knowledge; provide activities in which the teacher is a mediator in the classroom and identify possibilities and challenges for the application of Active Methodologies in Teaching Geography in public schools. Methodological procedures, bibliographical readings, participant observation, planning, use of WhatsApp and Email for communication, use of Active Methodologies: Inverted Classroom and Board Game were carried out. In addition to the socialization of work in the classroom. The rules applied in this study had the theme of “Environment and Sustainable Development” as a general plan. As a result, students became more participatory, managed to acquire knowledge through research, group work, encouraging communication skills, among other skills and competencies. The Teaching of Geography is capable of helping to build active citizens with critical and reflective thinking about modern society. It was found that students are able to formulate and defend ideas on environmental issues, showing themselves to be very participatory in the search for geographic knowledge. Thus, inserting Active Methodologies in teaching practice in Geography Teaching is fundamental to stimulate research, cognition and collective work in public schools.
