THE STUDY OF THE LANDSCAPES OF THE PLACE OF LIVING THROUGH THE GEOGRAPHIC SCHOOL ATLAS OF JACOBINA/BAHIA/BRAZIL

Abstract

This work reflects on the teaching of Geography from the place of living and the expansion of the theoretical and conceptual discussions as a relevant role in the signification of the geographical concepts in the classroom. The adopted methodology was based on the methodological paths presented by Araújo (2022), which brings the qualitative approach with an exploratory, bibliographical and documentary character, carried out through questionnaires and pedagogical workshops. The results showed that the use of the landscapes of the place of living (town) may provide the complete view of the spatial representation of places and bring the goals of the geographic knowledge (theoretical instrument) closer to the goals of the school Geography (school knowledge) and to the reality of the students, besides enabling the dialogue between the concepts and the reality of the place of living, in order to avoid the mechanical application of what is produced in school and what is experienced outside it, thus enabling the critical analysis of reality.
