TEACHER DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN GEOGRAPHY: GUIDELINES FOR A GRADUATION PROJECT
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
The text introduces an argument about teachers’ development and practice in Geography, trying to summarize some already reached advancements and highlighting some problems that should be better analyzed in order to improve the quality of this development. Taking the current legislation about teachers’ development courses in Brazil and their theoretical fundaments for granted, the article brings up principles of professional development to serve practice demands, such as the theoretical and practice integration in education projects, the research as an important education component and the school Geography problematization. Based in surveys that took place in post graduations in the country and to comprehend the practice challenges better, the text analyses approaches to the most indicated geographic content about Geography teaching and searches to apprehend daily difficulties faced by Geography teachers. Based in such argument, the text presents, yet, a set of topics to be considered in the graduation projects.
