A geografia na proposta de formação em pedagogia: um olhar aos projetos pedagógicos de curso da UFFS

Abstract

This research aims at problematizing teacher training of the initial years of elementary education in the graduation course in pedagogy of the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul, with a view to stressing the area of geography. For the accomplishment of this investigation we carried out a study of the three Pedagogical Projects of the Campus Pedagogy Courses Chapecó-SC, Erechim-RS and Laranjeiras do Sul-PR. We support authors who research geography teaching for the early years, between them: Helena Copetti Callai (2009 e 2011), Rafael Straforini (2004) e Lana de Souza Cavalcanti (2010), who argue the importance of geography and the relation with the life of the subjects. At the same time, we studied the three documents of the Curricular Pedagogical Proposals of the courses of the three states, considering the menus, objectives and bibliographic references set forth by each of the courses, specifically in the component related to geography. The curricular influence that the courses express with force of the work, with the geographical notions but the geographic complexity demands more insertion and connection in the course.
