Abstract

In geography the technological means become indispensable, mainly in the physical geography, where we have cartography, remote sensing, among others. It is important that academics of geography at universities can have the proper knowledge of the technological means to apply when assuming the position of teacher in the future. In this occasion, the present work aims to understand the importance of the use of geotechnology for the academics of the 8th period of the geography course of CESP-UEA. Thus, a dialectical approach was made through a questionnaire with formal and informal questions, treatment of data tabulation after analysis of the results in order to verify the insertion of the new technologies in the teaching of geography. From this, the results point out conflicts and problems that the geography course encounters, where according to the research the academics are not able to handle the new technologies applied to geotechnologies.
