GEOPATRIMÔNIO E ENSINO PRÁTICO

o trabalho de campo como ferramenta de aprendizado

Abstract

The use of field visits as a teaching methodology in Geography is a fundamental approach for reflecting on natural and anthropogenic aspects. In this context, a key question arises: how can the teaching of geography in natural spaces integrate the knowledge acquired in the classroom? Thus, the objective is to analyze the organization of geographic and landscape spaces, considering the interaction between natural and anthropogenic elements, through the analysis of geological and geomorphological characteristics, as well as understanding the socioeconomic dynamics of the visited areas as a potential for the geoconservation process and, consequently, the proposition for geopatrimony. The research was qualitative in nature, classified as applied research, incorporating bibliographic and field studies. Geoprocessing techniques were employed, along with photographic records for mapping purposes. The main methodological concept of investigation was identifying areas of interest from the perspective of geopatrimony, based on the conception of fieldwork as a learning tool. The results and discussions indicate that the itinerary of the visited cities enabled reflection on the economic and tourism aspects linked to water resources and geomorphology, highlighting their relationship with other socioeconomic and sociocultural activities. Therefore, the analysis and interaction between natural and anthropogenic elements in the visited landscapes proved to be highly beneficial for fostering new discussions in geographic science and for emphasizing the significance of fieldwork in research.
