Abstract

The present research is the Course Completion Work presented to the Undergraduate Course in Geography, at the Federal University of Uberlândia - Institute of Human Sciences of Pontal. The textbook in the classroom is still widely used by teachers, so the main objective of this work is to analyze whether the concepts related to Geotechnologies are present in the textbooks of Geography in the 1st year of Elementary School. The choice of the 1st year of elementary school is justified, due to the fact that it is the introductory year to scientific content using textbooks. The Qualitative Research method was used, which aims to analyze the problem and propose actions that can collaborate in possible solutions. The methodology consisted of analyzes of the researched books, bibliographic research on the theme and organization of data through descriptive statistics, which made it possible to have a critical look as to how to previously evaluate textbooks, and thus, highlight the importance of Geotechnologies in themselves. As for the results obtained, it is stated that the didactic books of the 1st year researched, do not have significant information about Geotechnologies, therefore, it would be an important point to consider for the production of future literary works. In view of the above, the scientific relevance of this work is emphasized in order to improve the textbooks of the 1st year with more information containing Geotechnology tools, in this way, it is concluded that the objectives were achieved and contribute to other research in order to improve more and more this primordial tool that is the textbook.
