Conhecendo a geografia do bairro em sala de aula estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem aplicada em uma escola da Zona Leste de Manaus

Abstract

Often the student from a community does not realize his urban surroundings, which is near his home, school, recreation area, daily living. The understanding the spaces can be reflected and known from the perceptions of lived experience of people in those places. Residents in the neighborhood analyze their space through the way they incorporate that location, as a feeling of belonging to that place - in adaptation to their identity, their lifestyle and their history. This article presents the experience in the classroom, where we proposed practical activities involving the perception of the student by mean of maps and photographs, from the study of the perception of the place -in this case the district- by students of Geography from the public high school Mary Magdalene Santana de Lima, located in Armando Mendes, neighborhood on the outskirts of Manaus-AM. We present the perspectives from activities performed in the classroom contextualizing with the reality that students belong, stimulating thinking geographic, promoting the student's interpretation of their neighborhood and the relationship with other places. Key words: Instructional strategies. School Geography. Urban Experiences.
