THEVES, Denise Wildner and KAERCHER, Nestor André. Geography in the early years of Elementary School: Looking Far to See More, Getting Closer to See Better. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2022, vol.29, e025. Epub June 08, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730. https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v29a2022-25.
The text presents reflections on the importance of teaching Geography in schools in the early years of elementary school and the need for qualified teacher training. It presents assumptions that highlight the inseparability of humanization in the production of geographic space, and the challenge placed to teachers in the search for the constitution of a pedagogical space that dialogues, listens and proposes geographies with children, in the context of informational abundance, hyperconnectivity and complex socio-political relationships. It assumes the epistemic commitment of pedagogical proposals that suggest different readings and visions of the world, contributing for the school to be a space for more capable reflection. Mobilized by the theme, bibliographic research and documentary research were carried out in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations on the Capes Portal, based on stricto sensu academic production (master's and doctorate), in federal public institutions, published from 2010 to 2020. The investigation reiterated the urgency of new readings of school, research and the world.
