A aplicabilidade da linguagem cartográfica nas aulas de geografia do Colégio Estadual João Teodoro de Oliveira em Mutunópolis -GO

Abstract

This work addresses the difficulties faced by Geography teachers in Elementary School II regarding cartographic approaches. The general objective is to analyze these difficulties, understand the relevance of continued training in cartography for teaching Geography, identify the obstacles that teachers face when relating cartography to the contents of Elementary School II and examine the offer of postgraduate courses at the State University of Goiás – Porangatu Unit from 2000 to 2023. The research was based on studies by Aragão et. al. (2020), Guerrero (2012), Freitas and Yokoro (2004), Simielli (2015), Costa e Lima (2012), Franscischett (2001) and Guimarães (2015). The method used is dialectical, with a qualitative approach including bibliographical research, case study and semi-structured interview. To collect data, tabulation was carried out using charts, tables and graphs. The results show that at CEPI – Colégio Estadual João Teodoro de Oliveira, the teachers who have the most difficulties in applying cartography do not have specific training in Geography or Cartography. Furthermore, it was found that UEG Porangatu is relevant for professionals seeking continued training. It is concluded that this study is important for the teaching of cartography in Geography teaching and for how continued training can contribute substantially to the professional improvement of educators.
