Abstract

Master's research in education that includes the used territory of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) campus as a formative possibility. Based on historical-cultural theory, the field research aims to unveil the different uses of the UFJF campus by accessing the experiences of its participants. Regarding to the theoretical-methodological development, in a dialogical perspective with the subjects of the research, vivencial maps were produced, which are referenced in the concept of experience – in Russian Perejivanie – by Vigotski. Concerning to the interpretation of the statements and records collected from the participants, notes were presented showing singularities of their experiences developed in the uses inside these spaces. The presentation of the work with a brief memory report in regard to the initial uneasiness that generated this research question. Then discussed the theoretical-methodological pathway mainly supported by Santos (2011) and Vigotski (2006; 2010), which serves as a support for the fieldwork. It’s contextualized the cutting of this research, which includes the university campus as well as the city in which it is located, Juiz de Fora, with its historical process of rising until the UFJF consolidation. It’s elucidated the importance of a public space such as the university campus in human training and also presented the vivencial maps interpretations produced in field works. Through this theoretical and practical path, we pointed out the need to promote and use this public space, the campus. After getting the inferences, the research showed the geo-historical environment imminence with all its culture that was generated in the process of a man development. The unity relationship established between man and the environment is outstanding in its constitution. The field material interpretations have revealed interpretive categories revealing various uses and relations with the university campus. Therefore, the use of a new methodology to produce another cartography and the power of the public space as a formative environment is the main contribution of this research in the field of geography education and teaching, based on the following research question: how do vivencial maps revel the different uses of the UFJF campus?
