Intern/Student Relation and Geographic Education

considerations about experiences in Elementary School classes (Coari/Amazonas)

Abstract

This article brings together empirical and scientific contributions on teaching practice in Geography teaching based on theoretical-practical experience during the Mandatory Supervised Internship of the Geography Degree course at the State University of Amazonas. Based on this teaching experience, we methodologically opted for the Experience Report, as it is understood that this is the best way to expose in depth and didactics the scientific and humanistic richness of this exchange of experiences between teacher-intern/teacher-student, where participant observation played a preponderant role in investigating and apprehending key issues, the need to apply active methodologies in the teaching of Geography in Elementary School classes in Coari/Amazonas, being observed, during the internship, in activities that concentrated strategies such as questions, debates, practical activities, drawings/representations and simulated jury, in a creative, participatory and collaborative way. In view of this, the need and emergence of a new teaching approach in Coari is concluded and highlighted, especially in relation to inclusive and creative approaches to active methodologies, to the detriment of fragmented, mechanical and tedious teaching of traditional methodologies.
