Abstract

The article is a report of a teaching practice in the initial training of geography teachers mediated by reading the novel “Menino de engenho”by José do Lins do Rego. The objective of the practicewas to promote the learning and meaning of the category of analysis place through the literaryspatial view of the students in the context of the narratives and the memories printed by Carlinhos, the main character of the novel. In continuity, the students' reading practice was aligned with the proposition of an exercise for suggestions of pedagogical strategies to mediate the teaching of place in school. The main result of this teaching practice was the problematization of school geography as one of the axes in the students' initial training, offering them the possibility to exercise and experience the pedagogical significance of specific geographic knowledge for the exercise of their profession. The results of this practice also print some challenges to be overcome by teacher educators, especially when they assume the role of mediator for the realization of teaching practices based on the use of literary texts.
