The City as an Educational Space: for a spatial pedagogic practice with teacher education students

Abstract

This paper intends to create a reflection on Geography teaching in the early grades of Elementary Education and also on the education of Pedagogy students. These topics are approached from actual contexts, discussing notions of space, place, landscape and territory. For such, it was chosen spaces of direct relationship in the city, which is their territory. The research was carried out by groups, articulated with the fieldwork in which the teacher discusses and points out fundamental elements of the thematic content. From this recognition of the landscape, places are created and reflections on the production of space are fostered. The work methodology was based on the milieu analysis.
