A percepção geográfica de estudantes ribeirinhos sobre os componentes físico-naturais da Amazônia

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study analysed the teaching of the physical-natural components of the Amazon at a riverine school in the municipality of Iranduba, Amazonas, focusing on students’ perceptions and understanding of the interactions between these elements. The research is qualitative, exploratory, and explanatory, and constitutes a case study. The results indicate that the description of the island derives from the students’ experiences with the place. However, this knowledge is presented in a fragmented manner, revealing difficulties in connecting the observed phenomena with the scientific concepts that underlie them. This stems from the lack of contextualisation of the Geography content to the school’s reality, still guided by teaching materials unfamiliar with the Amazonian reality.
