RESUMO

The research, that resulted in this thesis, was developed in the curriculum and teaching nucleus, of the Faculty of education, of the Universidade Federal do CearÃ. This thesis aimed at approaching the concept of region spread by teachers of the last primary schooling classes. The research took place in three municipal schools of Teresina-PI, with the participation of five Geography teachers. The theoretical reference, that supports this thesis, comes from three sources: the curricular theory, a contribution of Bourdieu (1987, 1989, 1996, 1998, 1999); studies of Geography authors that discuss the Geography teaching and the concept of region, such as: Gomes (2000), Haesbaert (1999, 2002, 2004), Santos (1978,1985, 1997, 2002), Lacoste (1988, 1989), Lencioni (2003), CorrÃa (1987, 2001), Silva (1999, 2003); and the theoretical approaching to the background and knowledge of the teachers, with the support of Tardif (2002), Tardif e Lessard (2005), Therrien (1994, 2000). The qualitative methodology was the most suitable one for approaching the goal of this thesis, with the help of lesson observations and of interviews with the teachers, during the year of 2005. The data, obtained with these techniques, were analyzed with the help of software nudist, designed for the treatment of non-structured data, peculiar to qualitative research. The methodological theoretical references were the works of Ludke e Andrà (1986), Trivinos (1992), Minayo (1994), Richardson (1999) Bogdan e Biklen (1994) e Alves-Mazzoti (2000). The analysis of the data revealed that, with priority, the teachers still work with the traditional concept of region, strongly linked with the didactical book. The examination of the didactical books showed that their authors do not deal with the concept of region clearly, but only unremarkably in the booklet for the teachers. At the end this research, it was verified that sometimes the concept of regionalization obtained prominence in relationship to the concept of region, sometimes both concepts were used interchangeably, sometimes both terms were used with the same meaning. In order to understand the pedagogical practice in wide way, other modalities of contents, procedure and attitudes were contemplated. About these contents, the analysis revealed that they were approached less systematically than the concepts, not receiving the treatment as in preparatory phase of the lessons as during the lessons, indicating to have trouble planning activities. As for the applied teaching methods, it was revealed that there was predominance of expositive lessons, with the use of didactical book and with little variation, appearing, in second place, the teamwork, the collective elaboration and the independent study
