Ensino-aprendizagem de geografia nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental : um estudo de caso na Escola Municipal Estudante Emmanuel Bezerra, em Natal-RN

Abstract

Geography in the early years of elementary school is an excellent tool to develop spatial thinking and geographic reasoning in children, cognitive processes necessary for their social and cognitive construction. In addition, it assists in the literacy of students, through reading the world, the student develops the ability to read the geographic space and identify himself as an active agent of this medium. Thus, this work seeks to analyze the teaching-learning process of Geography in the Early Years of Elementary School at the Municipal School Student Emmanuel Bezerra, in the city of Natal-RN. It is known that the Common National Curriculum Base defines thematic units, objects of knowledge and skills for this level of teaching, in this bias, we sought through a case study in the school in question, to know the performance of teachers in front of the classrooms, as well as the students' knowledge in what is up to the required skills. Finally, there were absences in geography teaching at the Municipal School Student Emmanuel Bezerra, the students were lacking in essential skills for their level of education, also, there were difficulties in teaching practice, reflections of a vague initial training intensified by a non-existent continuing education.
