Teaching in geography classes involving rural and urban spaces

Abstract

The research arises from the intent of practice and discussion among future Geography teachers on how to encompass social and economic interaction, between rural and urban spaces, without distinction. The work begins in the theoretical discussion about therural-urban relationship over time, seeking to present the integration and interdependence between the two spaces. Therefore, the practical part of the work takes place first in the application of a workshop and discussion between undergraduates of the degree in Geography, in October 2019, during the XVIII University Week of the University of Pernambuco –Campus Mata Norte; the second part takes place in December of the same year, in the classroom application of a public school in the city of Carpina-PE,more specifically in a 7th grade class, composed of 30 students. It was possible to perceive that the method of working the experiences lived in the daily life of the students is an attractive way of inducing them to knowledge, even without them realizingit. In addition to working on the association of spaces, the research also portrays the importance of didactics in Geography classes so that students understand their role through the plurality of the current world.
