Por outras possibilidades de linguagens na Geografia Escolar: Cartografias Vivenciais

Abstract

Guided by qualitative research principles, we developed the present research at the João XXIII Application College/UFJF, located in Juiz de Fora (MG), under a Teaching Residency context. We begun from the problematic of a School Cartography that is organized around a Cartesian geographic space and that generally disregards other cartographic possibilities of manifesting our spatialities. Therefore, taking Vigotski's studies as a theoretical framework and inspired by the proposal of Vivential Maps, we seek to systematize a methodology, which we call Vivential Cartographies, that could permeate the diverse contents of Geography throughout the school year. From the execution of different didactic-pedagogical practices that made it possible for the 1st Year of High School classes to have other cartographic approaches in the School Geography Subject, we has as our main objective the approximation with the meanings attributed to the subjects' experiences, in view of their geographical condition. In addition, we also aimed to encourage their reflection on their experiences, through their own expressions.
