Afirmação frequente nos Pré-Vestibulares Populares (PVPs) é a de que sua existência não serve "apenas ao vestibular". Este trabalho esclarece o significado deste "apenas" quando a afirmação se refere a disciplina de Geografia, minha área de atuação. Para os esclarecimentos, parto da análise de minha prática e do dialogo desta com a prática de outros professores. Meu recorte trata de PVPs de Porto Alegre/RS principalmente, em especial aqueles focadas no vestibular da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), mas como os dialogos percorreram outros contextos brasileiros, este trabalho se aplica a outras escalas e também outros concursos - dentre eles o ENEM. Sistematizo três compromissos adotados pelos professores de Geografia, que dão características à disciplina nos PVPs: a Geografia para o Vestibular, a Alfabetização Geográfica e Geografia para a Cidadania. / An usual statement in the Popular Pre-vestibular (PVP ) is that its existence isn't useful 'only for vestibular". This thesis clarifies the meaning for 'only' when the statement refers to Geography (school subject), my occupation area. For clarification, I start from analysing my own practice and from the dialogue of this practice with the ones of other teachers. My cut covers PVPs in Porto Alegre, RS mainly the ones focused on Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)'s vestibular. As dialogues cover other Brazilian contexts, this text aplies for different scales and also for different contests - among them, ENEM. I systematize three commitments made by Geography teachers that characterize the subject in PVPs: Geography for vestivular, Geographical literacy and Geography for citizenship.

Esta pesquisa busca identificar as referências didáticas sobre a Prática de Ensino de Geografia (modos de ensinar, o que ensinar, como selecionar o que ensinar) presentes em livros publicados com a finalidade de subsidiar a formação de professores de Geografia. Tais referências didáticas foram observadas nos livros selecionados tendo como orientação a epistemologia geográfica e a das ciências da Educação em um recorte temporal situado no período 1925-2014. Ao se ater às orientações epistemológicas impressas nos livros selecionados, a pesquisa procura identificar as ideias-força, consideradas como ideias e concepções situadas num determinado momento (CANDAU, 2013), que predominaram acerca do exercício da docência em Geografia, bem como busca perceber como se dá a constituição de um lugar específico da Geografia escolar no interior da ciência geográfica. Os livros escolares destinados à formação docente serão tomados como objetos culturais que, referenciados no tempo em que foram produzidos, trazem as marcas das mudanças e permanências do campo intelectual que qualifica e designa aquilo que se concebe como ciência geográfica e como ensino de Geografia. Nessa perspectiva, a relação entre autoria, editoria e difusão de concepções sobre a docência e o ensino de Geografia está metodologicamente associada à discussão da Geografia como campo de conhecimento. Na realização da pesquisa foi organizado um banco de dados a partir das informações levantadas junto às instituições públicas federais de Ensino Superior (universidades e institutos) que abrigam cursos de licenciatura em Geografia na modalidade presencial. A seleção das obras se deu a partir da pesquisa em projetos pedagógicos dos cursos que indicavam a bibliografia utilizada em disciplinas do componente curricular Prática de Ensino e no acervo virtual das bibliotecas dessas instituições. Foram produzidos mapas, gráficos e tabelas que contribuíram para a melhor compreensão da distribuição desses livros pelo território nacional, bem como da difusão de ideias e concepções sobre a Geografia e seu ensino. Assim, o trabalho está organizado em três partes, em que a primeira apresenta a constituição do corpus, objeto de análise; a segunda parte procura abordar a relação entre autoria e editoria; e a terceira identifica as ideias-força presentes nas obras analisadas. / This study seeks to identify the didactic references on the Practice of Teaching Geography (ways of teaching, what to teach, how to select what to teach) found in books published with the purpose of subsidizing the education of Geography teachers. These didactic references were observed in the selected books, based on geographic epistemology and that of education sciences, in the period between 1925 and 2014. In considering the epistemological guidelines printed in the selected books, the research seeks to identify key-ideas, taken as ideas and conceptions situated at a given moment (CANDAU, 2013), which prevailed in the exercise of teaching Geography; it also seeks to perceive how a specific place for Geography in school is established within the field of geographic science. In view of such general objectives, the study chooses as the object of analysis academic textbooks intended for teacher education to the teacher formation, and takes them as cultural objects that, in reference to the time when they were written, show the marks of change and permanence in the intellectual field that qualifies and designates what is conceived as geographic science and as teaching Geography. In this perspective, the relation between authorship, publishing work, and dissemination of conceptions about teaching in general and teaching Geography in particular is methodologically associated with the discussion of Geography as a field (BOURDIEU, 2004) of knowledge. In doing the research, a database was organized with the information gathered from the public federal higher education institutions (universities and institutes) that host undergraduate courses in Geography in the face-to-face modality. The selection of books was based on the search of pedagogical projects of the courses which indicated the bibliography used in disciplines of the curriculum program called practice of teaching and in the virtual collection of the libraries of these institutions. Maps, charts and tables were produced and they contributed to better understand the distribution of these books throughout the nation, as well as the dissemination of ideas and conceptions about Geography and its teaching. The study is organized in three parts: the first presents the making of the corpus, object of analysis; in the second part the relationship between authorship and publishing is explored; and, finally, the key-ideas present in the analyzed works are identified.

It is a qualitative research as anounced by Bogdan and Biklen (1994), which is based on the Social Representation Theory / TRS (MOSCOVICI, 2012), and authors who are dedicated to study the initial teacher education, Geography teacher education, as Pontuschka, Paganelli and Cacete (2009), Cavalcanti (2012) and Callai (2013), dealing with the education of geography teachers; and Nóvoa (1995), Abdalla (2006, 2012 and 2013a, 2013b), Saviani (2011), García (2012), Tardif (2012), among others, to discuss the initial teacher education. The research was developed in three steps: first, exploratory interviews with three teachers were held; then a questionnaire was applied with open and closed questions to twenty-five (25) teachers; and in the third stage, deepening interviews were made with two (02) newly graduated teachers and two (02) Geography students. Based on the data, the results are anchored in two dimensions of analysis. The formative dimension to the category initial education and sense units: knowledge necessary for teaching, in which teachers recognize the importance of university education for the career; the internship as articulation between theory and practice, where teachers do not recognize the importance of the internship for their education; and, finally, sense of unity, the choice of Geography course, which, according to teachers, was made under the influence of other teachers. The professional dimension, with the ranking of the challenges of early career, in which teachers highlight some epistemological obstacles, such as inadequate education difficulting their work, inter-relational difficulties, highlighting by facing the school reality and, finally, recognize that become teachers by practicing in the classroom. Finally, the data indicate that education for change depends on a education policy that contributes to that complaint the "bureaucracy", both in University degree, as in the practices of schools, encouraging a more critical education, and developing internship, which are linked to the schools. / Este trabalho objetiva conhecer as representações sociais dos professores de Geografia, que atuam na rede pública estadual na cidade de Santos, SP, a respeito de sua formação inicial. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa como anunciam Bogdan e Biklen (1994), que se fundamenta na Teoria das Representações Sociais/TRS (MOSCOVICI, 2012), e em autores que se dedicam a estudar a formação inicial de professores e a formação de professores de Geografia, como: Pontuschka, Paganelli e Cacete (2009), Cavalcanti (2012) e Callai (2013), que tratam da formação de professores de Geografia; e Nóvoa (1995), Abdalla (2006; 2012 e 2013a, 2013b), Saviani (2011), García (2012), Tardif (2012), entre outros, para discutir a formação inicial de professores. A pesquisa se desenvolveu em três etapas: primeiro, foram realizadas entrevistas exploratórias com três professores; em seguida, foi aplicado um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas a vinte e cinco (25) professores; e, na terceira etapa, foram efetuadas entrevistas de aprofundamento com dois (02) professores recém-formados e dois (02) estudantes de Geografia. Com base nos dados, os resultados se ancoram em duas dimensões de análise. A dimensão formativa com a categoria formação inicial e as unidades de sentido: saberes necessários à docência, em que os professores reconhecem a importância da formação universitária para a carreira; o estágio como articulação entre teoria e prática, em que os professores não reconhecem a importância do estágio para sua formação; e, finalmente, a unidade de sentido, a opção pelo curso de Geografia, que, segundo os professores, foi feita por influência de outros professores. A dimensão profissional, com a categoria dos desafios do início de carreira, em que os professores destacam alguns obstáculos epistemológicos, como a formação inadequada dificultando o trabalho, dificuldades inter-relacionais, destacando o enfrentamento da realidade escolar e, finalmente, reconhecem que se tornaram professores dentro da sala de aula, na prática. Por fim, os dados indicam que uma formação para mudança depende de uma política de formação, que contribua para que se denuncie o ¿burocratismo¿, tanto na formação superior, quanto nas práticas das Escolas, incentivando-se uma formação mais crítica, e desenvolvendo-se estágios, que se articulem com as Escolas.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a comprehensive educational program involving student activities related to the biotope of the garden pond. The theoretical part deals with general issues of inquiry-based education and the utilization of school gardens. The main contribution of the thesis is the creation of a concrete educational program, comprising seven activities which employ the environment of a garden pond. It is designated for biology and geography classes at middle/secondary schools. Each activity portfolio consists of a methodological sheet for teachers and a work sheet for students. Most activities can be carried in the environment of any water tank; some activities can be also done in the school building. The training program was pilot tested with elementary school teachers and subsequently with sixth and seventh grade students. Concurrently, an evaluation of the program's effectiveness was implemented in the form of written tests. The thesis discusses the findings from this evaluation as well as the practical verification of the suggested program that was carried out on teachers and on students.

Matýsková, P. (2010): Mathematical skills applied to the teaching of geography at secondary schools in the topic the Earth as a cosmic orb. Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Charles University in Prague. Submitted diploma thesis deals with interdisciplinary relationships between mathematics and geography at grammar schools in the topic the Earth as a cosmic orb. The relationships are generally described from the point of view of three curriculum forms (intended, implemented and achieved). In the area of the intended curriculum there is an analysis of curriculum documents carried out, especially of the Framework educational programme and of selected school educational programmes. Subsequently, the links between selected secondary school textbooks of geography and mathematics are evaluated on the basis of required curriculum, its quality, intelligibility and occurrence of examples from the practice. The subchapters of the selected unit, in which an application of mathematical skills can be found, are defined in detail and specified on the basis of the carried analysis. Deep, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teachers at selected grammar schools for the purpose of the study of the implemented curriculum. The achieved curriculum was found out on the basis of the...

Throughout the twentieth century so-called Poor Whites caused anxiety in countries where racial domination was crucial, such as South Africa, the colonies of European empire and the United States. The Poor Whites were troubling for a number of reasons, not least because they threatened white prestige and the entire system of racial control. The efforts of various governments, organisations and experts to discipline, control and uplift the group necessarily disadvantaged other races. These controls, such as colour bars and Jim Crow laws, had an enormous effect on the countries where the Poor Whites were seen as a problem. The results can still be seen in the profoundly unequal contemporary racial landscape, and which is given expression by protest groups such as Black Lives Matter. Yet the efforts to manage the Poor Whites have thus far been examined on a national basis — as a problem of the United States, or of South Africa, to name just the most significant locales and regimes. This dissertation attempts to expand our understanding of the geography of the Poor Whites by arguing that the ‘Poor White Problem’ was a transnational concern rooted in racial interests that transcended national concerns. The racial solidarity displayed by so-called ‘white men’s countries’ was also extended to the Poor Whites. Efforts to control and discipline the population were thus in service of the white race as a whole, and ignored national interests and national borders. The transnational management of the Poor Whites was done through a network of transnational organisations such as the League of Nations and the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as the careering experts they employed. The dissertation argues that these attempts constituted a transnational ‘governmentality’ according to which these organisations and their experts attempted to discipline a Poor White population that they viewed as transnational in order to uphold white prestige and tacitly maintain both global and local racial systems. This dissertation examines some of the ways in which Poor Whites were disciplined and racially rehabilitated. It examines health and sanitation, education and training, housing standards and the management of urban space, and finally photographic representation.
