A alfabetização e letramento cartográfico uma análise bibliográfica

Abstract

Cartography as a science has been around for over 500 years and it has never lost its usefulness, whether for those who work directly with it or for those who do not know it exists. This is because human beings have always needed to locate themselves in geographic space, and this is practical, as it is a need of people: to know where they are or where they want to go. In the pedagogical context, teaching cartography is even valid when pragmatically valuing the daily lives of students, offering them awareness of what they are learning and the truth that they are capable of using cartography in the social environment. Thus, if one speaks about the autonomy of the being in front of the self, one is learning; coherently, it is worth highlighting frequent Freire's considerations about the pedagogy of autonomy and its implications for literacy. From that, this work has as general objective to understand the contribution of literacy and cartographic literacy, its implications in the process of formation of students based on bibliographic analysis. And as specific objectives search to understand the importance of literacy / cartographic literacy in the training process of students; identify how literacy/cartographic literacy contributes to the student education process; recognize the importance of cartographic literacy for the cognitive development of these students. The methodology used was bibliographic research related to literacy and cartographic literacy, based on their information to work on cartographic pedagogy. This is a qualitative bibliographic study of an exploratory nature. Accordingly, it is worth finishing by emphasizing the importance of teaching for the autonomous basis of knowledge and the social perspective of students.
