Análise da abordagem cartográfica para o ensino de globalização no livro didático de Geografia

Abstract

The focus of this research is the teaching and learning of Globalization, assuming the understanding that the theme through the globalization maps is essential for the comprehension about the world and their current relations. Stating a critical understanding regarding the topic and writing about the importance of the cartographical science for Geography it is necessary to recognize how the maps are used to teach Globalization, measuring the possibilities and the limitations imposed by the complex socio-spatial relations in contemporaneity. The works of Santos (1992;2000), Porto-Gonçalves (2018), Fonseca (2014), Lacoste (2012) Pelled-Elhanan (2019), Orlandi (2015) are some academic references that contributed towards the development of this paper. The methodological steps were: bibliographical research, didactical apprehension relating to understanding Cartography as a language, the globalization theme on the official curriculum and the geography textbooks acting as multimodal text categories, also including speech analysis about the types of manifestation. Supported by the theoretical - methodological referential, the most distributed 9th grade textbook by the National Textbook Program (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático - PNLD) was analysed in the year 2020. As a result, the cartographical productions in the textbook don't contribute to a critical comprehension regarding globalization and they are used as contemplative or illustrative.
