Didactics and geography education: some notes

Ana Claudia Ramos Sacramento. Discussions about Didactics are important in investigations related with the construction of knowledge in Geography Education. This works originates from the doctorate research, where Contemporary Geography Didactics will be debated, with the objective of analyzing the teaching practices of the teachers in the Public Education Network, in search of learning about their daily professional practice. The methodology used during the research process is ethnographic research, because this covers elements about culture, the way a group is conformed in a certain place, in this case the classroom. Theorist of Education seek to understand the importance of teaching geography in the school setting and how teachers intervene constructively in the teaching and learning processes, articulated with curriculum design in order to make ways for teacher's actions to be effectively changed. To think about the process of teaching and learning is primarily to consider how each student understands the concepts and the contents studied, and to establish a teaching interrelationship; so meaningful knowledge is used in articulating the curriculum and the teaching of geography.
