ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN GEOGRAPHY TEACHING: POSSIBLITIES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN RURAL AREAS, PIAUÍ/PI

Abstract

Public schools in rural areas belong to a reality far removed from the others, and when looking for new ways to teach the discipline of Geography, the teacher encounters difficulties. Thinking about this issue, the main objective of this work is to use simple and low-cost resources that may contribute to the teaching-learning process of Geography in these schools. Having as justification the need to think about the use of cheap recreational resources or without any expense in the teaching-learning process, given the difficulty of having access to expensive materials or those that require advanced technology. This work was carried out in stages from an approach through action research, a bibliographical survey was carried out; studies with the textbook, realization of didactic sequences, elaboration of instruments and systematization of data on active methodologies. The main results demonstrated the various possibilities for the use of active methodologies in teaching geography in schools in the rural area of any municipality, mainly with the use of didactic resources existing in the school reality itself, that is, teachers and students. It is concluded that schools in rural areas lack infrastructure, but this is not an obstacle for the Geography teacher to be able to study Active Methodologies with his/her students; on the contrary, in any school environment it is possible for the student to be able to learn using various resources, what really has to be done is the adaptation to reality, so that there is no difficulty in its application, that is, despite real problems it is possible to use accessible teaching resources, what really needs to be done is the adaptation to the reality in which the institution and students belong.
