FIELD LESSONS IN GEOGRAPHY TEACHING

The research shows that the field lesson is a tool that facilitates learning in Geography teaching, as it brings the student closer to the object being studied. The student will be able to identify in everyday life what has been seen in textbooks, providing better learning and awakening in the student a critical sense of the subject. As for the methodology, a qualitative and quantitative approach was adopted. Bibliographical research and a description of the reality of the field school were used as methodological tools. This study was developed through the experiences and observations of 7th grade geography classes at Colégio João Silva in Imperatriz-Ma. The aim of this work is to analyze how practical lessons can contribute to the teaching-learning process in geography. The results obtained show that students and teachers understand the importance of field activities in the teaching process, but there is little incentive to develop them, and that it is necessary for both teachers and the school to rethink their pedagogical approach to this need.
