Construção de sequências didáticas utilizando tecnologias digitais para o ensino de Geografia nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

The research work was developed considering the study, analysis and possible applications of New Information and Communication Technologies in didactic sequences planning to teach geography in the last 2 grades of elementary school, specially aiming at the understanding of what these technologies are, their functions in education, as well as the way their fusion to the school environment may and should occur, using the project with the didactic sequences to achieve those objectives. These sequences are presented in the number of five and built throughout the same number of subjects taught during the first two semesters of the course are related to different geography subjects studied throughout the last two grades of elementary school, which are: Asian natural environment, orientation and localization, the European Union, the climate of the American continent and Brazilian regions. Starting from the analysis of this process of building and studying the sequences, besides the practical use of some of them in the school environment, not only the understanding of the strengths of these pedagogical tools to build knowledge and the learning process was improved, but also better parameters of the use of NICTs in the same process were established, improving, at the same time, the teaching work developed by the author of this research work.
