A abordagem regional dos livros de geografia do ensino fundamental anos finais (EFAF)

Abstract

Addressing regional issues in Geography teaching, both globally and nationally, is always a major challenge, as it involves addressing, from the very beginning, complex discussions about the concept of region. In addition, there are obstacles in the classroom when teaching the topic, such as students' lack of interest and the distance from the topic being addressed when it is not presented in a didactic manner that makes students approach the content, aspects that support our research problem. Thus, the general objective of this research is to critically analyze the regional approach of three collections of Geography books for the Final Years of Elementary Education (EFAF), making comments and criticisms about how the regional theme is highlighted and structured in Brazilian curricular guidelines and textbooks. In our assessment, we can see the articulation of the regional approach in the textbooks assessed with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), as well as the diversity of regional approaches used by the authors of the textbooks, with different ways of working with the Region, however with some points open to criticism and suggestions for improvement, greater evidence and appreciation of the approach of this category that is fundamental to Geography, the region.
