O uso de imagens no ensino de geografia escolar

Abstract

This course conclusion work (TCC) reflects on the use of images in the classroom, proposed from the perspective of a critical view based on the search for a horizon of citizenship and democracy. The thematic section is related to the teaching of critical Geography in dialogue with problematizing education, considering the relevance of images to teach geographic knowledge, based on the question: How are images important for building paths to geographic education? To answer this question, the objective is to discuss the importance of images for teaching Geography, as a way to carry out geographic education. Methodologically, it results from a bibliographical study, a documentary study on the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Santa Catarina Territory Base Curriculum (CBTC), and a discussion involving experiences with school students, developed in the Curricular Internship in the Degree in Geography. As a result, bibliographical research and dialogue with internship experiences point to the strength that images have in teaching content, due to their attractiveness and possibility of raising relationships with theoretical concepts. But curriculum policy documents do not highlight the relationships with images in Geography teaching. It is therefore concluded that it is necessary to expand the discussion on the relationship between images as a link for learning geographic knowledge, as well as to expand this visibility in curricular regulations, as well as to reinforce this debate in the training of Geography teachers.
