O ensino de geografia mediado por folhetos de cordel: identidade e memória cultural

Abstract

The present study presents the results obtained in a reflexive research on the teaching of the categories of Place and Landscape space, in the Geography curricular component, through the Cultural/Humanist perspective (TUAN, 1983; CORREA; ROSENDAHL, 2011) the string booklet. In view of this proposal, the problem of research is highlighted: How does the use of cordel leaflets in the Geography class of the Secondary School allow the development of an interdisciplinary methodological proposal in the perspective of Cultural Geography? In order to do so, the general objective of the research is to develop an interdisciplinary didactic proposal for the teaching of Geography directed to the teaching of the categories of space in the Geography "Place" and "Landscape", using a selection of cordel leaflets that favor learning through the aspects the identity and local cultural memory of high school students. It is possible, therefore, that the cordel Literature be used as a teaching possibility, considering its character of social denunciation and place of manifestation of the northeastern subject (RODRIGUES, 2011; 2016). The Cultural/Humanist perspective is valued for taking intangible elements into account. The selected theories have as nodal point the concept of interdisciplinarity (BRASIL, 1996), which, in this study, considers the teaching of Place and Landscape articulated to the concepts of identity, memory, history, etc. The research is qualitative, being an action research developed in a class of 1st year of High School of a State school of the city of Juripiranga, Paraíba. In view of this, a proposal was applied to the teaching of Geography through units present in the Teacher's Manual and Student Module, products of the professional master's degree. The action research promoted the learning of the concepts of Place and Landscape, taking into consideration abstract/immaterial elements of the Northeastern landscape and the place of the students, revealing the proposal based on immaterial aspects. In this way, Cultural/Humanist Geography became a theoretical basis and the cordel leaflets made possible the mediation between learning objects and transversal concepts, by which they culminated in a byproduct, the "Student Memorial", which condenses the concepts listed, discussed and developed in this study.
