O audiovisual enquanto recurso didático no ensino de geografia

Abstract

This paper investigates how the use of feature films as an audiovisual teaching resource can improve Geography teaching in schools. The main objective is to investigate and discuss the use of feature films as a teaching resource in Geography teaching. The text highlights how films can facilitate the teaching-learning process and stimulate students' critical thinking. The methodology adopted was qualitative and quantitative, including bibliographical surveys and the application of research. A questionnaire was administered to the teacher in order to understand her view on the use of this resource in Geography teaching. Two questionnaires were administered to the students: one about their personal opinions regarding the film they watched and another about the connection between the geographic content covered in class and the film. We used graphs and charts in order to highlight the results and expose the advantages of using feature films in Geography teaching. In addition, we seek to encourage innovative and dynamic pedagogical practices that enrich the training and allow for more active and critical learning.
