A reserva extrativista marinha da Lagoa do Jequiá/AL e suas potencialidades para o ensino de geografia

Abstract

School Geography focuses on the prerogatives that involve the student's daily life, aiming to enhance the teaching-learning process through strategies that enable meaningful learning. That said, when seeking to carry out a project entitled “Projeto Lagoa Jequiá: navigating its stories” at the Municipal School José Cursino dos Santos, located in the municipality of Jequiá da Praia/AL, with a view to a Conservation Unit-UC in its surroundings, namely: Marine Extractive Reserve of Lagoa do Jequiá/AL, it is essential to understand the aspects of the community in which the school is inserted, for this reason, we consider the studies on the referred UC, starting from the need to work in the classes of Geography, in order for students to understand the implications of the relationships between society in general and the CU in context. From this perspective, this research has the general objective of analyzing the social, economic and environmental aspects of the Marine Extractive Reserve of Lagoa do Jequiá/AL and its possibilities for Teaching Geography. The theoretical framework of this research focuses on the geographic category Territory (Raffestin, 1993; Santos, 1999, 2000), the concept of Territoriality (Saquet, 2008; Haesbaert, 2007), Place (Relph, 1979; Tuan, 1983; Cavalcanti 1998 ; Callai, 2005; Copatti, 2020). In addition to these, another geographic category is analyzed that is intimately articulated with the place: the landscape, the same observed from the perspective of authors such as Cavalcanti (1998); Giometti et al. (2012); Saints (2014); Callai (2017) and Gomes and Carloto (2021). And finally, the Teaching of Geography dialoguing with authors such as Castellar, (2005); Callai (2005, 2015; Cavalcanti (2015). Furthermore, discussions about Extractive Reserves and Traditional Communities also permeate (Chamy, 2002; Cunha, 2001; Diegues, 1996). This research is anchored in the methodology of participatory-action-research. (Thiollent, 1986; Franco, 2018; Kemmis and Wilkison, 2008) The relevance of this study is manifested in the need to discuss the potential of the Marine Extractive Reserve of Lagoa do Jequiá/AL for the local community and the management of the Territory. context, it is urgent to discuss this geographic category within the scope of School Geography, starting from the daily life of these students immersed in this rich environmental ecosystem, so that they understand and appropriate the necessary knowledge to act in favor of the conservation of the RESEX of Jequiá/ AL and the sustainability of its traditional communities.
