O ensino de cartografia escolar e geotecnologias em geografia através da utilização do Software Google Earth Pro

Abstract

The Teaching of Geography has undergone profound changes in its trajectory. The scientifictechnological advances that have occurred over the years have contributed to the insertion of technology in the educational environment. These technologies within the scope of the school can bring significant advances to the Teaching of School Geography. This research work has the main objective to analyze the teaching-learning process of School Cartography from the use of geotechnologies in the third year classes of the High School of a public school located in the District of Piau - Piranhas / AL. Geotechnologies inserted in School Geography can be a very effective tool in the development of teaching-learning. The interaction between Geography, Cartography and Geotechnologies in the teaching-learning process of School Geography, can establish the ideal conditions for the study and knowledge of the geographic space. Defining itself as a quantitative and qualitative research because we understand that there is not always a need to distinguish one research format from the other, we believe that quantitative and qualitative research complement each other. We used as research technique the action research associated with the questionnaire as a research tool. The proposed activities aimed to stimulate the learning of the third year of high school students about School Cartography and Geotechnologies through the use of Google Earth Pro software. Our intention was to make available to teachers and students new possibilities for improvement of teaching-learning.
