Abstract

The current study sought to analyze the Social Cartography’s theoretical and methodological contributions to the teaching of Geography, in order to supplement the discussion of this subject on the school curriculum scope. The method of investigation was performed through the content analysis of the published articles on the Encontro Nacional de Práticas de Ensino em Geografia - ENPEG 12th edition’ annals. After analyzing the articles published in the event’ edition, held in 2013, it was observed that this subject is little discused, and appears mostly combined with the description of non-formal practices that are not included in official curriculums. It is important to emphasize that this study derives from an ongoing master’s thesis’ research, developed under the Geography Graduate Program/UFPel, by the main author whose objective, among others, is to analyze how the Social Cartography has been renigmented in the school space.
